Chloropac® Marine Growth Prevention Systems

For seawater-based processes, the cost of fouling can be substantial. Macrofouling from mussels, clams, oysters, sea anemones and barnacles, combined with micro fouling from bacteria, slime and algae, greatly restricts the flow of cooling water to heat exchanger surfaces, accelerates localized corrosion by restricting oxygen diffusion, and causes destructive turbulence at inlets. This can severely shorten the life of affected equipment.
