Those who need large amounts of water include power plants and other large-scale industries. They often pump in considerable amounts of water directly from the sea.
Fouling in cooling water systems, caused by the growth of organisms present in sea water, such as algae, molluscs and barnacles, can halve thermal performance and heat transfer. Fouling also decreases flows, causes corrosion and increases maintenance needs. We can provide a more profitable and efficient solution to the problem of fouling than that offered by chemicals, physical removal and thermal treatment. The Wallenius AOT 250 is specially designed to cope with large-scale water flows.
