Applications
Our technology protects the system integrity in oceanography and many other branches.
Underwater sensors and
cameras
The WSL-emitters keep sensors clean, reduce the maintenance and help to keep data quality high.
Blockage protection
for ocean water filters
Targeted UV-C use reduces the settlement of biofouling and keeps a reliable waterflow through the filter.
Protection of valves and
underwater components
UV-C protection for subsea valves and critical flow control components. The technology helps to secure operation and access while minimizing maintenance. Applications include PLEMs, PLETs, and subsea manifolds.
Sea-Chests
360° UV-C illumination helps to prevent biofouling at sea-chests and supports the reliable operation of engine cooling systems, desalination filters, and fire-extinguishing systems. Simultaneously reducing maintenance requirements and the need for underwater interventions.
Our Vision: Ultraviolet
In the coming decades we use targeted UV-C to achieve long due goals in the maritime industry.
- Cleaner seas
- No toxis compounds
- No everlasting chemicals (PFAS)
- Lower emissions
- Reducing drag of surfaces
- Better mechanical reliability
- Improving lifetime of pumps
- Reducing maintenance
