Anti-fouling system for ship's saltwater circuit
PETIÓN Peter Taboada

PETIÓN® is the most advanced antibiological growth and anticorrosive system for seawater circuits that can be found in the market. applying The highest technology in electrolysis, the two main objectives are reached: The total cleaning up of molluscs, crustaceans and algae in one hand and, on the other, the protection against corrosion in the whole system where the seawater flows, either in pipelines, valves or any other machinery.
The use of PETIÓN® on all kind of ships, vessels, petrol platforms, and inland seawater refrigeration systems, has been crucial in the maintenance of them.The PETIÓN® system is a PETER TABOADA's® patent. Built with the best components and materials after several years of research and development, the PETIÓN® system is the most cost-effective and least expensive by its performance, low energy, and maintenance expenses.
Within the advantages we have found, regarding to other systems, we can mention:
1.- It avoids molluscs, crustaceans and algae incrustations, which reduces substantially the maintenance cost of pipelines, sumps, valves, seawater inlets, intercoolers, and condensors.
2.- Eliminates sludge formation.
3.- Eliminates corrosion in the pipeline, increasing its duration and protecting it. This means savings, as there is no need to replace them from time to time.
4.- It increases refrigeration in engines, refrigeration equipment, condensors, intercoolers etc. That means energy savings.
5.- It increases seawater circulation in pumps, which increases its efficiency.
6.- The PETION consumes up to 90% of the aluminium and copper electrodes, and for their replacement it is not necessary bring the vessel to dry-dock.
