INTRODUCTION Marine organisms enter the sea water circulation systems usually aS \arvee and spats, and settle and fully grow in the ideal ship environment - namely lower water flow rates, adequate supplies of nutrients, oxygen and higher temperatures. If not combated, these marine fouling can result in partial or complete blockage of pipeworks and restrict or completely prevent of use of the water systems. Traditionally chlorination has been used to remove marine growth in sea water systems, by the addition of chlotine/hypochlorite or by electrochlorination. However these methods have not been suitable economic alternatives of providing antifouling and are always afraid to increase corrosion. CorrsTech Anti-Fouling System based on electrolytic cooper and aluminium or iron dosage now provides a more reliable, economical and technically and environmentally acceptable alternative, 1.2 ANTIF-FOULING SYSTEM The system consists essentially of a power control unit, anti-fouling anode(s) and anti-corrosion anode(s). The power control unit is usually installed in a place where it can be easily accessed by ship staff, in ship's engine room and the anodes in each sea chest of injection strainer or any fermediate suitable reaction tank. The sea water system downstream from the anodes will receive protection. A general arrangement of the complete system is shown in Drawing No. AM 1164 Anode functions are as follows : Cu - Anode Antifouling Al Anode : Reduction in Corrosion of Steel Surfaces Fe- Anode : Reduction in Corrasian of Non-Ferrous Surfaces as Anti-Fouling and Corrosion Mitigation is achieved by dissolving anodes by the application of a controlled D.C. current to the anodes in the sea water circulation system. D.C. current applied to the copper anode releases a controlled quantity cf copper ions into the sea water circuits to create an environment in which primary forms of marine life cannot settle and develope. The actual concentration of copper ions is extremely small and measured in micrograms per litre of sea water. Current applied to the aluminium anode releases an aluminium hydroxide ‘tioc’ of colloidal properties, The aluminium oxidetion products reduce corrosion rates in the sea water system of ferrous components by modifying the ferrous oxides formed and boy film deposition. Similarly, iron anodes are utilised for reducing corrosion rates of non-ferrous components. 2. MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT 2.1 Power Control Unit The Power Control Unit is of modular construction with A.C. input and D.C. output via individual modules as illustrated by Drawing No. AM 1158, Each unit is made up of 1 - 4 separate modules, which are interchangeable. The module has two separate positive outputs each of capacity 2 or 3 Amps (4 or 6 Amps total). One Module 2 Positive Outputs 2 Way Unit Two Modules 4 Positive Outputs 4. Way Unit Three Modules —_—_6 Positive Outputs 6 Way Unit Four Modules 8 Positive Outputs 8 Way Unit A common negative exists for all modules. A separate earthing connection should be provided on sea chests or injection straines cover where the anodes are installed; if not already provided on the anode coffetdam_unit. OPTION : Facility to operate at reduced | increased output for variable low / high flow rates 22 Electric Cable (2) input AC. input cable and fittings - terminations, glands, grommets and shrouds, etc., are usually of shipyard supply. The A.C. supply cable size is rated according to the maximum D.C. output of the power unit. Usually, a very small conductor size is adequate but for physical and electrical reasons, it is preferable to use a larger cable conductor size than the nominal cucrent capacity needed. Cable insulation, armoring and sleeving is dictated by ship classification requirements. Input supply may de 440/380V 3 phase 60Hz; 220)240V single phase or 110V single phase. A 2.5 Amp input fuse is provided. Input cable size of minimum cross-section 25 sq. mm per conductor is recommended. e.g. 3 x 2.5 sq. mm PVC/PVC/SWA/PVC NOTE : Non Armoured cable can be used on runs in trays or conduits (&) D.c. Output The D.C. output from each module is connected to the anodes (positive output) and sea chests or injection strainer covers respectively (negative output) via an intermediate junction box. Single core x 5.5 sq, mm cable is supplied for D.C. distribution to the anodes from the junction box without any significant voltage drop. Systems normally utilize 3 core cable per module output; two positive to Cu anode and Al anode respectively and one negative to the sea chest (see Drawing No, AM 1164), between the power unit and the junction box. for this section of cabling an armoured cable_is_preferable_(e.g._ EPR/CSP/GSW/CSP);—unless—cable—tray—or conduit is used for distribution where cable with insulation and sleeving alone can be adequate. This can be EPR/CSP or XLPEJPVC. Cable voltage rating is not significant since units operate well below 15 volts D.C., the maximum output of the power unit. Most cables have voltage ratings above 200 volts. (c) Earthing An insulated earthing cable minimum 1 x 5.5 mm? should be connected from the power earth connection on the power unit housing to a suitable external earth point. 2.3. Junction Box CorrsTech supply standard junction boxes rated to IP65, (typical construction is shown in Drawing No. AM 1178), with input 3 x 5.5 mm? and 3 separate outputs to Cu anode, Al anode and: sea chest or injection strainer respectively. An intermediate junction box facilitates separation of anodes from the supply, thus avoiding interference with the remainder of the installation - during inspection or anode replacement periods and is necessary where anode assemblies are provided as a separate unit complete with pre-connected cable. 2.4 Alloy Anodes A typical anode arrangement, complete with cofferdam and mounting flange is shown in Drawing No. AM 1174. The_anode assembly can be separated from the cotferdamsflange;the latter_being welded in-situ in the sea chest or injection strainer cover. The same type of assembly construction is used for Cu, Al and Fe anodes. The constituent components of the anode assembly construction are detailed in Drawing No. AM 1174, Anode sizes are designed according to a seawater flow rate and a dry docking or anode replacement period, Variations in Diameter, Length or Shape of anode can be provided depending on (a) the space available to install anode assemblies, (b) the period of use prior to dissolution and replacement. (For sea chest locations, the replacement period is generally the dry docking interval.) 3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Power Control Unit The control panel should be located. as near as possible to A.C. power supply and the anode locations (to minimise the D.C, cable length and voltage drop.) The control panel location should meet the following requirements: (a) Max. ambient temperature of $0 deg. C. (Unit rated to 55 deg. C.) {b)-Adequate-space_around_unit to assist ventilation (c) Approx. head height max to facilitate reading and output adjustment or servicing (a) be easily accessible (e) be in a safe non-hazardous environment (f) bulkhead mounted andjor secured to suitable base 3.2. Connecting Cables / Junction Boxes Input A.C, cable connection points and earthing cable connections are clearly marked in the power control unit. See Drawing No. AM 1062. Similarly positive output terminals on each module are evident with a common negative cable connection, Cable sizing and specification for A.C. input and D.C. output are described in Section 2.1.2. The D.C. supply cable to the anodes should be connected to the intermediate junction box. A junction box is provided with cable glands for D.C. input and anode | earthing output connections, see Drawing No. AM 1164. ‘Anode cables and negalive return should be connected to the D.C. supply in the junction box. 3.3. Anode | Cotferdam | Flange Anodes should be installed in the position specifically shown or advised for each vessel. The anodes are installed in the selected compartments, namely sea chests, or injection strainers. (a) The agreed positions for the apertures for the cofferdam entry points should be marked and burncut out; taking precautions to protect surrounding equipment with heat resistant blankets etc. A stand-by fire extinguisher should be provided. (b) The mating flange to receive the anode and cofferdam flange should be welded in position - welding on both inside and outside joints. (c) A 6 mm % 20 mm hexagon screw can be welded onto the mating flange to provide a negative connection point as shown in Drawing No. AM 1170 or welded on any other location directly in metallic contact with the sea chest to obtain a zero resistance connection (if not already provided). (a) All weld scale should be removed and any damaged paintwork reinstated, (e) Carefully lift the anode | cofferdam | flange assembly by means of the eye boits provided and lower the anode onto the sea chest or strainer mating flange, making sure that the rubber gasket is in position. Evenly tighten down the anode flange bolts. (THE PROCESS IS REPEATED FOR ALL ANODES) () Make the negative cable connection onto the welded flange. After making this connection, the stud and nut assembly should be completely covered with light coating of corrosion protection grease. (g) Secure anode cables and negative single cable together and take back for connection in the junction box. NOTE : Painting colour of cofferdam flange Blue : Cu Anode White : Al Anode Black - Fe Anode {h) When vessel is afloat, carry out leakage tests by checking for ingress of water into the cofferdam. i 4. COMMISSIONING (ONLY TO BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE VESSEL IS AFLOAT) Check all cable connections at power control unit, junction boxes and anodes. Identify each positive output and releyant anode and ensure that all anode output adjustment knobs are in the zero position. Switch on AC. supply and then the panel on/off switch. Adjust output to the recommended current values on each anode. Anode Current The digital readout display for each anode is indicated in 0.01 amp steps trom 0.0 to 2.0 or 3.0 amps. The current show is the actual current supplied from the module In cases where the anode resistance is high (worn anodes or vessel in fresh water) the indicated current may be less than the set current, Alarms The following-abnormal-conditions of anodes are indicated by illumination of red alarm LED on the relevant anode module : - Anode life span is completed or anode is consumed No output ‘And also when power fails the power fail alarm relay attached in the panel would operate. Alarms are non latching and will clear when the alarm condition has ceased to exist 10 yO MAINTENANCE The maintenance requirement is minimal. The system operates at constant current output and does not therefore require adjustment. A weekly recording of current output on each anode is recommended. This provides a record of the system’s operation, an. indication of any changes in tunction, and a Feminder when anode replacements are scheduled. A complete loss of current on any anode should be investigated by checking all cabte connections, power panel fuse of by interchanging modules, Anode Replacement Anode rods can be replaced during vessel's drydocking or with closing the sea water valves for strainers in where anodes are installed (See Orawing No. AM 1174) {a) Turn the current adjustment knobs on the modules to the zero position and switeh off the panel onjoff switch before vessss js dry docked or strainer valves are closed. {b) Take off the grand shroud (tem 18) and unstrew the cable gland (tem 21} fully.
