Antifouling Anodes (Copper / Aluminium)

Ships use seawater for several purposes, and one of the primary functions is cooling the engine and parts of the ship while while sailing. However, as the seawater passes through the various pipes and parts to cool the ship’s engine, marine organisms could deposite along their surface.

To protect and purify the surface of ship’s mechanical parts, our electrolytic anti-fouling anodes combo system function as both anti-fouling agent and corrosion inhibitor. The fouling organisms can be inhibited from growing by dosing small quantities of Cu ions into the water with a total anti-fouling effective rate over 95%. And aluminum hydroxide
colloid formed could provide an anti-corrosive film over the sea water piping system – keeping corrosion rate less than 0.03 mm/year.

This anode combo of copper and aluminium anodes provides a simple method of fouling prevention that is fitting marine growth prevention system (MGPS) on board.
