Marine Growth Prevention and Antifouling
BSS Technologies provides marine growth prevention and antifouling systems for pipelines, cooling water systems, marine facilities, vessels and other critical assets. Our solutions help control biofouling, protect seawater flow and reduce the risk of blockages and unplanned maintenance.
What is Marine Biofouling?
Marine biofouling occurs when organisms like barnacles, mussels, and algae multiply inside seawater cooling systems. This biological buildup restricts water flow and chokes cooling passages, causing vital equipment to overheat or fail. Additionally, the growth acts as a thermal insulator on heat exchangers, slashing cooling capacity by up to 50% and driving up maintenance costs.
The Importance of Marine Growth Prevention
Marine organisms like barnacles, mussels, and algae can quickly overrun seawater cooling systems. This rapid colonization creates severe operational bottlenecks, leading to overheated equipment and heavy financial risks. To combat this, a robust Antifouling System is essential for the asset integrity.
Moving away from manual cleaning and toxic chemical treatments, our automated, chemical-free process delivers precise protection. This approach drastically cuts down maintenance overhead, and adds years to your equipment’s operational lifespan.
Our Comprehensive Anti-Fouling Solutions
Our anti-fouling services cover the protection and monitoring of seawater pipelines, process equipment and other critical assets. Prevention methods are selected based on the asset, operating conditions and biofouling risks.
We combine proven impressed current technologies with field expertise to ensure optimal ion dosing, track system performance over time, and support effective maintenance and mitigation.
Designed for open water applications, it delivers protective ions right at the mouth of the pipe or channel where fouling is most likely to start. By targeting the intake directly in the open sea, it protects the entire downstream network from marine growth.
Treats water directly at the open sea intake.
Ideal for protecting large pipes and channels at risk of fouling.
Features smart logic to control ion production automatically.
Adjusts the ion output to match varying flow rates.
Scales from zero flow up to the pump's maximum capacity.
