ENVSonic - ENVSonic Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling Technology
ENVSonic Ultrasonic Anti-Fouling Technology offers a highly efficient, effective solution for preventing marine biofouling. Utilizing non-inertial cavitation, this technology generates microscopic water movements through bursts of ultrasonic energy to deter algae, barnacles, and larvae from adhering to surfaces. It maintains optimal flow rates and hydrodynamic efficiency, leading to significant fuel savings, reduced emissions, and improved performance. Additionally, it enhances cooling systems by reducing maintenance needs and downtime. The system drastically reduces the need for chemical biocides, making it an environmentally friendly option that meets stringent industry standards. The proprietary transducers and advanced control module ensure precise, reliable operation, with features like individual channel control, automatic calibration, and multiple power modes. By integrating with SCADA systems, ENVSonic ensures seamless vessel monitoring and protection. The system's robust design includes gold-plated marine-grade PCBs and IP68-rated transducers, making it durable for a variety of maritime applications. ENVSonic represents the forefront of marine growth prevention technology, offering scalable, customizable solutions tailored to any industrial need.Efficiency and Performance - Fuel Savings
Ultrasonic antifouling creates an uninhabitable environment for larger organisms, preventing biofouling from the start. The microscopic water movement from non-inertial cavitation deters algae, barnacles, and other larvae from settling on surfaces. This keeps surfaces smooth, ensuring optimal flow rates, hydrodynamic efficiency, fuel consumption, and emissions.
Cooling Improvements - Reduced Maintenance
Applying ultrasonic antifouling to raw water systems, pipes, box coolers, sea strainers, and heat exchangers significantly reduces or eliminates biofouling. This maintains high cooling efficiency, optimal flow rates, and reduces maintenance needs, downtime, and related costs.
Reduced Chemical Loads
Ultrasonic sterilization drastically reduces or eliminates the need for biocidal dosing, exceeding industry standards for cfu/ml plate counts and algae levels in HVAC chiller towers. This makes chiller water recyclable, protects the environment from legionella, and reduces ongoing maintenance and costs.
ENVSonic ultrasonic antifouling works by producing a series of carefully curated and targeted bursts of ultrasonic energy (acoustic sonication).
These bursts of energy are transmitted via our ultrasonic transducers, installed in strategic locations, into the structures to be protected.
The result is ultrasonic energy generating microscopic bubbles that provide the protection within the water column.
