Sonihull Soni 8

KEY FEATURES

ZERO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

No poisonous environmental legacy from biocides or metallic compounds. Zero interference with SONAR arrays or black box recovery equipment.

LOW MAINTENANCE

No expensive anodes to replace, no specialist fittings, dry-docking or current isolation required.

MICROBIAL CONTROL

Suppresses Diesel bug in stored fuel and keeps potable water fresher for longer

8 INDEPENDENT TRANSDUCERS

Sonihull8 effectively opens the market for large installations, where multiple surfaces and equipment can now be protected by one unit.

INTELLIGENT MULTI-MATERIAL COMMISSIONING

Operators can select different resonance algorithms for each ultrasonic transducer to suit the different materials or structures being protected.

NETWORKS WITH UP TO 32 UNITS

A potential network of 256 independently controlled and centrally managed transducers, ideal for large installations or multiple areas of protection.

CAN CONNECT TO 80m AWAY

Transducers are impedance matched, enabling cable lengths to be extended to 80 meters with no loss in performance. This makes Sonihull8 suitable for modular pre-fabricated constructions.

FULLY PROGRAMMABLE & INTEGRATABLE

Full RS232 / RS422 & Modbus communication interface for wired/wireless remote control with critical path fault monitoring.

Control Unit

Dual–Processor Programming Interface via LCD screen 8 Transducers 8 transducers

How It Works

Sonihull systems produce multiple bursts of ultrasonic energy in a range of targeted pulse frequencies.

The ultrasound produces a pattern of alternating positive and negative pressure on the surface of the material. Microscopic bubbles are created during the negative cycle and are imploded during the positive cycle.

This microscopic agitation has a cleansing effect which destroys surface algae.

Disrupting this first link in the food chain keeps the surface clean and makes it a much less inviting habitat for larger organisms that feed on the algae. The microscopic movement of water also prevents barnacle and mussel larvae from embedding on the surface.
