Copron

Antifouling System      

Our COPRON MGPS system is designed to combat the harmful effects of macro fouling in seawater circuits. Using copper and aluminium/iron anodes (depending on material of pipes). COPRON offers complete protection against the growth of mussels, limpets etc. in the seawater lines.

Galvanic corrosion can often be created as a result of the use of copper anodes. For this reason the Copron system installs an aluminium anode for every copper anode used to prevent such corrosive activities.

How the system operates

copro_1.jpgCopron operates by dissolving copper and aluminium/iron ions into the seawater contained in the seachest. This action is created by a current that is generated at the electric panel and is passed to the anodes. The copper ions combat macro fouling and the aluminium ions act against corrosion. Only a small concentration, less than 2ppb, of copper is required for the system to be effective.

The system consists of 3 parts:

  • Electric cabinet (located in engine room);
  • Copper anodes (located in seachests);
  • Aluminium/iron anodes (located in seachests).
