ANTI-FOULING AND ANTI-CORROSION EQUIPMENT FOR SEA INTAKES AND PIPES

GOALS:

The first is to kill marine organisms that block water inlets, causing cooling failures. The second is to form a thin layer of insulation on the walls of the pipes that minimizes their corrosion. This layer is Aluminum Hydroxide.

REGULATORS:

The maximum flow rates of our mini-equipment are 20, 40 and 80 m3 / hour per sea intake.

The regulator power supply can be 12 or 24 volts DC.

Important: Unlike the regulator's base power supply, the relay inside the 20 and 40 m3/hour units can only be powered at 24 volts. In the 80 m3 / hour it can be powered at both 12 and 24 volts.

ANODES:

They must be installed in the sea boxes or as close to them as possible, like mud filters, since the copper ions that are generated must reach the grates, since that is where there is the greatest danger of clogging due to the scale

COMPONENTS:

The first objective is achieved through the use of a copper anode and its corresponding regulator.

The intensity of the current is adjusted depending on the water flow.

The second objective is achieved with an Aluminum anode and its regulator, whose intensity also

It is given by the flow of water to be treated. Therefore, on each seacock the following must be placed:

  • 1 Aluminum anode

  • 1 Copper anode

  • 2 Regulators, one for each anode

anodo de cobre
anodo de aluminio

ADJUSTMENT:

The regulator has 2 settings, one for maximum flow and another for still water. This changes from one to the other with a relay that each regulator has inside and that can be powered with the current from the motor or the water pump if it is electric.

When regulating the maximum flow, 1.6-1.7 mA will be taken as a base. of intensity for each cubic meter / hour of flow

This value should be the same for both the aluminum and copper anode.

The setting for the idle state is calculated by dividing the above value by 6.
