Sea Chest Antifoulant Aquasperse
Product code RXSOL-16-1599-020
Biocide against sea growth in inlets, pipelines and heat exchangers
Description
RXSOL SEA CHEST ANTIFOULANT is a specialized liquid treatment developed to help control marine growth in sea chests, seawater cooling lines, strainers, filter boxes and associated heat exchange systems. It is designed for use in marine seawater circuits where fouling by algae, shellfish, slime and other marine organisms can reduce flow, impair heat transfer efficiency and increase maintenance requirements.
The product forms a protective conditioning effect within the system, helping reduce the attachment and development of marine growth while supporting cleaner internal surfaces and improved operational reliability. Regular use helps maintain circulation efficiency, reduce blockage risk and minimize unplanned downtime.
Application
- Sea chests
- Seawater cooling systems
- Strainer boxes
- Filter boxes
- Seawater pipe lines
- Heat exchangers
- Central cooling systems
- Static or flowing seawater systems
Precautions
For best performance, the system should be as clean as possible before starting routine antifoulant treatment. Heavy deposits, scale or established marine growth should be removed through suitable cleaning/descaling procedures before application.
General preventive dosing:
Dose into sea chest, suction side, strainer box or designated injection point using suitable chemical dosing equipment.
Typical treatment guidance:
A preventive dose may be applied based on seawater flow rate and vessel operating conditions. Treatment frequency can be increased in harbour operations, warm waters, or areas prone to heavy marine growth.
Indicative example format:
For systems with known seawater circulation rates, dosing can be calculated proportionally per 100 tons/hour of seawater flow.
Important:
Final dosage, frequency and compatibility should be validated by RXSOL technical team before release on TDS/PDS and before onboard use.
