MARINE GROWTH
Sea water contains both macro and micro marine organisms such as sea worm, molluscs, barnacles, algae, hard shells like acorn barnades etc. These organisms stick to the surface of the ship and flourish over there, resulting in marine growth.
EFFECTS OF MARINE GROWTH
The fouling problem arises when barnacles, mussels and other lower forms of marine life as larvae enter pipework systems and settle on the internal surface of pipes where they rapidly grow and multiply. In the most extreme cases, complete seawater lines can become blocked, affecting the safety and operational capability of the ship. In other instances, the gradual restriction in the flow of seawater through cooling systems can impair engine efficiency, leading to increased fuel usage.
As the marine organisms flourish they block and narrow the passage of cooling water in the ship’s system resulting the following factors:
· Impairing the heat transfer system.
· Overheating of several water-cooled machineries.
· Increase in the rate of corrosion and thinning of pipes.
· Reduced efficiency which can lead to loss of vessel speed, increase fuel
uses and loss of time.
