UNDER WATER CAVITATION CLEANING

It is no secret that marine growth left on a vessel's hull can increase fuel costs by up to 15%. It is equally important that whilst removing growth, care must be taken so as not to damage the antifouling paintwork. Coupled with our divers' experience and the very latest in cavitation cleaning machines we are able to safely clean the hull without causing any damage to the vessels' paintwork.  Diving and Security Solutions Ltd now provides cavitation hull cleaning.  The system is based on the principles of cavitation, when collapsing bubbles generated by a proprietary system create a vacuum that quickly and safely removes fouling materials. The advantages of this system over conventional high pressure blasting, grit blasters, barnacle blasters or brush cleaning are many.

The systems are safe to use. The water stream will not inflict damage to a diver who may come in contact accidentally. The lance grip nozzle system is compact, enabling cleaning of geometrically complex surfaces.

All types of marine growth, from seaweed to hard well-attached barnacles, are easily removed, with only one pass, saving operators time and money.

Surfaces with paint, varnish or anti-fouling coatings are not disturbed when cleaned, and heavy metals or other contaminants are not released into the water -

Environmentally safe.

The systems use either fresh water or seawater. The cavitation system leaves a smooth surface that retards biological growth and decreases cleaning frequency. Materials: Painted metal, Unpainted metal, Concrete, Plastic, Wood, Rubber, Glass, Fiber, Fiberglass Structures, Boat hulls, Offshore platforms, Pilings and Piers, Pipelines, Intake grates, Ship propellers, Tanks, Fishing nets, Buoys.

Ship's seachest grill cleaning is now made easier and faster because the cavitation bubbles are able to get into hard to reach areas.
