Marine Growth Prevention System requires protection on the surfaces of Jetties in the sea, Vessel intake Chambers, Sea-Chest, Heat Exchangers, Condensers and other downstream seawater pipelines with associated pumps (Cooling Water, Fire and Supply) which could cause plant shutdown blockages due to the marine growth. These can be reduced and protected by using proper Anti-Fouling Methods to prevent shutdown blowckages. Prevention can be carried out using these System to produce Hypochloride which could be generated injecting Direct Current between the Copper Rod and Cathode which require dose of Copper for preventing Marine Growth measured in micrograms per litre of seawater. This can be achieved by measuring the flow rate and automatically adjusting the current to match the result. The excessive scale build-up on the Cathode plates can be prevented by injecting Direct Current between the Aluminium Rod and Cathode which deposit Aluminium Hydroxide Floc containing scale and forms a self-limiting friable film readly broken down by turbulent flow. Further downstream, any ferrous equipment receives protection with the Aluminium Oxides incorporating into iron oxide corrosion products to form a spinel structure which is very adherent and reduces overall CORROSION rates.
