In marine engineering, MGPS stands for Marine Growth Prevention System. The system is installed in the seawater cooling systems of ships, oil rigs and other marine structures to prevent the growth of marine organisms such as barnacles, mussels and algae on the surfaces of pipes, seawater filters and other equipment. MGPS uses an electric current to create a small electric field around the metal surface of the device, preventing marine life from attaching and growing on the surface. This is done to prevent equipment from corroding and clogging, resulting in reduced efficiency, increased maintenance costs and potential safety hazards.

MGPS systems generally consist of anodes, cathodes and a control panel. Anodes are made of a material that corrodes more easily than the metal of the equipment being protected and are attached to the metal surface of the equipment. The cathode is placed in the seawater surrounding the device, and a control panel is used to regulate the current flow between the anode and cathode to optimize the prevention of marine growth while minimizing the impact of the system on marine life. Overall, MGPS is an important tool for maintaining the safety and efficiency of marine equipment and structures.

Seawater electro-chlorination is a process that uses an electric current to convert seawater into a powerful disinfectant called sodium hypochlorite. This sanitizer is commonly used in marine applications to treat seawater before it enters a ship’s ballast tanks, cooling systems and other equipment. During electro-chlorination, seawater is pumped through an electrolytic cell containing electrodes made of titanium or other non-corrosive materials. When a direct current is applied to these electrodes, it causes a reaction that converts salt and seawater into sodium hypochlorite and other byproducts. Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent that is effective in killing bacteria, viruses and other organisms that may contaminate a ship’s ballast or cooling systems. It is also used to sanitize seawater before it is discharged back into the ocean. Seawater electro-chlorination is more efficient and requires less maintenance than traditional chemical treatments. It also produces no harmful by-products, avoiding the need to transport and store hazardous chemicals on board.

Overall, seawater electro-chlorination is an important tool for keeping marine systems clean and safe and protecting the environment from harmful pollutants.
