Problems solved by technology

Although the current anti-fouling technology can effectively prevent fouling in an environmentally friendly way, it consumes a lot of power, requires the opposite of the cathode and the anode, and has great restrictions on the selection of the anode and the structure of the protective body.
Moreover, although the current method can be applied to the antifouling of ship hulls and marine facilities through the conductive coating method, it has high requirements for the conductivity of the coating, the resistance to seawater electrolysis, and the electrolysis equipment, and consumes a lot of energy. for small installations and ships
In addition, the conductivity and seawater electrolysis resistance of the current conductive film still need to be improved.

Abstract

The invention relates to the seawater / fresh water biofouling preventing field, in particular to a method for preventing facilities from seawater / fresh water biofouling via the damage of high-voltage electric field to organisms by applying a high-voltage pulsed electric field to a high-resistance conductive coating. The conductive coating layer is wired to a high-voltage pulse power supply, so that the applied high-voltage electric field acts on the high-resistance conductive coating, sterilization and anti-fouling operations are carried out under the applied voltage electric field, the peak of the applied high-voltage pulse voltage is 1000V-50000V, time of each acting is more than 0.001 second. The surface of the conductive coating can be insulated, i.e., no current is required to pass through seawater or freshwater. A metal surface needs to be insulated before the conductive coating is applied to the metal surface. The method is applied to prevention and control of biofouling of marine facilities and ships, is capable of effectively killing microbes on the surfaces of materials, preventing the formation of microbial membranes and inhibiting the attachment of algae and macro-organisms such as barnacles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of seawater and freshwater biofouling prevention, and specifically relates to a method for preventing seawater and freshwater biofouling of facilities by using a high-voltage pulse electric field to act on a high-resistance conductive coating and destroying organisms by the high-voltage electric field. Background technique [0002] Marine facilities, ship hulls and propellers submerged below seawater and freshwater waterlines for a long time are attached by various organisms (such as microorganisms, shellfish, algae, seaweed, aquatic plants, etc.) and other dirt, causing the facilities to be fouled. While affecting the appearance, it will lead to biological corrosion of marine facilities and ships, increase the surface resistance of the ship when sailing, reduce the speed of the ship, and increase the fuel consumption rate. The ship needs to be cleaned regularly, which is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, how to e...
