You appear to install larger transducers than your competition. Why?
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝟵 - It is all about the OOMPF, the racket these transducers (also referred to as 'transponders') make. The more (ultrasonic) decibels you can bring into a seawater exposed surface, the more it vibrates and the better we can prevent biofilm and if there is no biofilm subsequently you cannot have mussel/barnacle/tubewurm infestations. Due to years of painstaking research Shipsonic


You read in some documents that specific ultrasonic frequencies kill specific fouling species. What is your experience with that?
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝟴 - We see brochures or manuals from competitors stating that they have worked out which fouling organism gets killed at which ultrasonic frequency. That is a myth. Basically, ultrasonic sound cannot even kill any organism, it can only prevent biofilm from settling. 𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘜𝘭𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘈𝘯𝘵𝘪-𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 #USAF #fouling #biofilm #myths


So what is then the role of biofilm in fouling?
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝟯 - In yesterday's video you heard Chiel de Wit explain that fouling species do NOT eat biofilm. Today he will make it clear why biofilm is playing such a large role in the two-stage fouling process. Listen carefully. It might save your company millions of euros : less cleaning, no more recoating coolers, no replacement of coolers, etc. etc. Indeed, it will also save you some fu


A simple graphic, a powerful message.
What a great graphic. So clearly and accessibly explained. Well done Selamawit Alemayehu! Shipsonic particularly hopes that the graphic makes it clear that we are more than box-coolers. Here you can access our brochure on 'non-boxcooler applications' https://lnkd.in/dqkt4Hr4. Basically, if you need to prevent fouling on any seawater exposed part, get in touch. We will assess honestly if we can keep it clean - we will also make it clear if other solutions are more appropriate
