Llalco – Prevention of Marine Growth – Mussels & Barnacles
Designed to eliminate blockages in seawater cooling lines caused by barnacles and mussels
Marine growth prevention for sea water pipework is easy and economical to install, Llalco MGPS systems have been installed on more than 50,000 ships worldwide.
Designed to eliminate blockages in seawater cooling lines caused by barnacles and mussels, the systems are available for vessels of every size including mini-systems for luxury yachts.
Most Llalco systems are dual action, removing biofouling and reducing corrosion. In the case of steel pipes, the corrosion suppression anodes are made of aluminum, while cupro-nickel pipes are protected against corrosion with ferrous anodes. When installed, corrosion rates are significantly reduced, extending the life of pipes and any other equipment that is connected to the seawater system.
Key features of Llalco Marine Growth Prevention Systems
- Based on the electrolytic principle, providing continuous and reliable protection without the use of chemicals.
- Approved by classification societies.
- Every system custom designed for its particular application ensuring greater effectiveness.
- Automatic operation – requires minimal attention and makes very little demands on crew time.
- Easy installation – anodes can be installed in seachests or strainers at newbuilding or retrofit.
- Environmentally friendly – does not involve the use of chlorine based chemicals or carcinogens.
- A dual system combining pipework anti-fouling and corrosion suppression. A range of control panels and anodes to suit vessels of every size.
