Ships contain a great deal of piping through which seawater flows. In addition to main lines, this includes branch lines and systems such as FiFi systems, watermakers, and other support systems.
Fouling develops quickly in these areas, mainly because the current and usage are not always constant. As a result, biofilm and organisms accumulate locally.
SmartFlow prevents fouling in both main pipes and branch lines. The system transmits ultrasonic sound waves through the piping, creating vibrations that disrupt the adhesion of microorganisms and deposits. Because the entire system is actively protected in this way, pipes remain free of buildup.
Reliability is essential for systems such as FiFi systems and watermakers. These systems must function immediately when needed, even after extended periods of inactivity. SmartFlow keeps the piping free of fouling, thereby maintaining flow and preventing pressure loss.
As a result, critical systems remain operational at all times and perform as intended, especially when it matters most.
A sustainable choice: SmartFlow operates entirely without chemicals. No toxic substances and no environmental impact from cleaning. You’ll comply with the strictest environmental regulations and reduce your ship’s ecological footprint.
