Maritime
Our ultrasonic technology is the market leader in the marine antifouling space, protecting vessels of all sizes outside (hulls and propulsion systems) and inside (sea chests, pipework and box coolers) in an eco friendly way. Our anti biofouling solutions are fitted to vessels from 7 different country's Navies, and the fleets of some of the world's largest shipping companies.
Food and Beverages
Production residues used to be a fact of life in food and beverage manufacturing. Fouling, unwanted deposits and scaling can now eradicated using Sonicguard's technology. Heat exchangers, boilers, pasteurisation and sterilisation plant, all can be cost effectively protected with our Cleaning-in-place solution. This minimises down time for scheduled cleans and maximises energy efficiency.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry spends millions of dollars a year on corrective cleaning and maintenance related to fouling and scaling. Our ultrasonic technology disrupts the formation of unwelcome deposits leading to energy savings and extended equipment lifespans. Our equipment is deployed successfully in heat exchangers, plate coolers, pipework, basket strainers, caissons and submersible pumps.
Water Treatment Plants
Water and sewage treatment facilties experience fouling and unwelcome deposits in several stages of their processes. Minerals, suspended solids and biofilms can accumulate on wet areas in valves, pipework and fittings and in cooling towers. These lead to pressure drops and restrictions in flow, increasing energy costs and increasing maintenance down time.
Steel Works
Heat exchangers and cooling systems are used in numerous steel industry processes. Fouling occurs with the accumlation of corrosion products, particulate matter, and scale. This effects heat transfer efficiency leading to higher energy costs, and more regular down time. We have several case studies where our technology has been deployed very successful in steel mills to overcome fouling.
Paper Mills
Paper production facilities suffer particuarly serious fouling on heat exchanger surfaces with fibers, coating addidives and fillers accumlating on heat exchnage surfaces. Scaling and residue also occurs when minerals (calcium suphate, calcium carbonate) precipitate on heat exchange surfaces. This fouling inceases energy costs, and downtime needed for maintenance and cleaning.
