How can we prevent fouling on our moonpool trolley, even though we’re already using an antifouling coating?
The problem
Stubborn fouling continued to form on the lower section of the customer’s moonpool trolley, despite the use of an antifouling coating. This growth compromised the accuracy and performance of the survey equipment mounted on the trolley and required frequent maintenance and manual cleaning.
The Solution
Lamers System Care recommended that the customer implement the SmartFlow system. The system effectively prevents organisms from attaching to the trolley and keeps it clean without the need for manual cleaning. The biofouling that previously required regular maintenance has completely disappeared. This saves time, reduces the crew’s workload, and improves operational efficiency and maintenance processes on board.
Testimonial
“Due to persistent fouling on the lower part of our moonpool trolleys, we encountered problems with our survey equipment, despite using an antifouling coating. This had a negative impact on the accuracy and performance of the equipment mounted on the trolley.”
In our search for a solution, we came across Lamers System Care, which advised us to use the Ultrasonic Antifouling (SF04) system. Since installing SF04 on our moonpool trolley, we can confirm that the system is performing exceptionally well. The fouling that previously required regular maintenance and cleaning has completely disappeared. This saves time and significantly reduces the crew’s workload.
The system effectively prevents organisms from attaching to the trolley and keeps it clean without the need for manual cleaning. This has improved our operational efficiency and maintenance processes.
“We are very satisfied with SF04 and consider it a valuable investment that contributes to easier maintenance and more efficient operations on board.”
