Prevent Marine Fouling and Maintain Optimal Vessel Performance
Marine fouling in seawater cooling systems poses a significant threat to vessel efficiency, leading to increased fuel consumption, reduced performance, and costly maintenance delays. The accumulation of marine growth within a ship’s seawater lines can result in blockages, overheating, and higher operational costs.
To mitigate these risks, GS Electronics Cathodic Protection B.V. utilizes the Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS), also known as Impressed Current Anti-Fouling (ICAF).
How MGPS / ICAF Works
The MGPS / ICAF system features copper anodes connected to a compact control unit. By applying an impressed current, the system releases a controlled amount of copper ions into the seawater flowing through the vessel’s cooling system or seachests. This process creates an environment that prevents the settlement of micro-organisms, effectively reducing biofouling and maintaining optimal system performance.
Key Benefits
- Prevents marine growth in seawater cooling systems
- Enhances vessel efficiency by maintaining clean water flow
- Reduces maintenance costs and minimizes downtime
- Eco-friendly solution with controlled copper ion release
