PROBLEM
The presence of microorganisms adhered to submerged surfaces can result in increased fuel consumption for companies, decreased efficiency of the water cooling system, a higher risk of equipment failures, downtime, and elevated costs associated with hull cleaning. The consequences for the environment include increased greenhouse gas emissions, the invasion of marine species into new environments, and the frequent release of microplastics and biocides into the sea.
SOLUTION
BioRen offers an innovative antifouling system for vessels and marine structures, using low-frequency electricity to protect submerged surfaces against unwanted marine growth. It is a long-term, preventive solution that is more competitive economically and aligned with sustainable practices. It also has no environmental impact whatsoever, which is different from the other options available on the market.
BENEFITS
- Operational efficiency
- Cost reduction
- Care for marine life
- Practicality and safety
- Reduction of gas emissions
- Control of invasive marine species
