Combination of Copper and Chloride Electrolysis Anti-fouling Device

The seawater electrochemical corrosion and adhering stain have been two major factors endangering the security of ship seawater system application. The apposition growth of the marine life in the seawater system will generate the blocking of the seawater pipeline, valve, filter, various coolers and sea chests, so as to reduce the working efficiency of the water pump, cooler and heat exchanger, increase the fuel consumption of the power device and decrease the service life of equipment. Consequently, it influences the overall work efficiency of the ship. Additionally, the adhesion of the marine life on the surface of the seawater pipeline system will form the oxygen concentration cell on the surface of the metal to speed up the local corrosion and cause the pitting perforation. 

Situation of Equipment Corrosion and Marine Life Adhesion

The inlet of the seawater system  （sea chest or sea filter）is equipped with the special metallic electrode, impressed with the low tension and current to implement the electrolysis in the seawater to produce a certain concentration of metal ion and oxidation substance in the circulating seawater. It makes the whole seawater system be an environment that the marine life is hard to survive. Meanwhile, it forms a thin anti-corrosion protective film on the surface of the water pipeline system to reach the dual purpose of anti-corrosion and anti-fouling.

The price is low. It also doesn’t need the maintenance. The modular design is applied. The electrolysis equipment for anti-corrosion and anti-fouling is used. The electrode can be directly installed on the water valve housing, which is not restricted by the docking repair. It takes the mixed metallic oxide electrode (MMO) and copper&aluminum anode which have the effect of both anti-fouling and anti-corrosion.
