RXSOL-40-4003-026 Seawater Dispersant SWD
Seawater Dispersant SWD for Marine Cooling Systems
RXSOL-40-4003-026 Seawater Dispersant SWD is a concentrated liquid dispersant designed for use in marine seawater cooling systems to help control marine fouling and prevent the adhesion of biological growth to seawater heat-transfer equipment.
Regular application helps disperse microbiological growth such as bacteria and fungi as well as macrobiological fouling such as mussels, plants and other marine growth, helping maintain seawater flow and heat-transfer efficiency.
Seawater dispersant is a highly effective dispersant for keeping seawater cooling system free from marine fouling. Keeping seawater cooling systems free from microbiological bacteria and fungi or macro biological.
Application
Where to use Sea Water Dispersant?
RXSOL Seawater Dispersant SWD is suitable for seawater cooling circuits used in marine and offshore equipment, including:
-
Main engine seawater cooling systems
-
Auxiliary engine cooling systems
-
Central cooling systems
-
Marine heat exchangers
-
Seawater condensers
-
Cooling-water pipelines
-
Sea chests and associated cooling-water circuits
-
Marine heat-transfer equipment
-
Offshore seawater cooling systems
The product is intended primarily as a fouling-prevention/dispersant treatment. Existing heavy fouling should be mechanically or chemically removed before starting a preventive treatment program.
RXSOL Seawater dispersant SWD is a highly effective dispersant for keeping seawater cooling system free from marine fouling. Keeping seawater cooling systems free from microbiological (bacteria and fungi) or macrobiological (mussels, plants, etc.) growth is essential for maintaining the cooling capacity of today’s high efficiency systems. When used on a regular basis, RXSOL Seawater dispersant SWD prevents fouling by dispersing sea growth and preventing it from adhering to marine heat transfer equipment. RXSOL Seawater dispersant SWD does not contain any phenolics, chlorinated solvents or other harsh chemicals.
Precautions
How Seawater Dispersant SWD Works
Marine seawater cooling systems are continuously exposed to microorganisms and marine organisms. If biological growth attaches to heat-transfer surfaces, it can restrict seawater flow and reduce heat-transfer efficiency.
RXSOL Seawater Dispersant SWD works by dispersing marine growth and reducing its adhesion to seawater heat-transfer equipment. Regular treatment helps maintain cleaner heat-transfer surfaces and supports stable cooling performance.
Pre-Cleaning Requirement
If a seawater cooling system is already heavily fouled, the existing deposits and marine growth should be removed before beginning a preventive SWD treatment program.
Note that the dispersant is intended to prevent new growth and does not replace the cleaning required to remove established fouling.
Important Application Precaution
Seawater Dispersant SWD should not be dosed while seawater is being drawn as make-up water for an evaporator or water maker.
The evaporator/water maker should be isolated or shut down during dosing and for at least 30 minutes after dosing.
Seawater dispersant is available in 25-liter containers (PCN 5148409).For vessels which operate continuously in coastal waters, we recommend dosing every three days. For all oceangoing vessels, we recommend dosing every two days while in coastal waters and at a minimum dose of once a week when not. Seawater dispersant should not be fed to a system while the seawater is being drawn as makeup for an evaporator or water maker. Either isolate the evaporator or shut it down while Seawater dispersant is being dosed and for at least 30 minutes afterward.
