Fire Protection Water Treatment

Circulating untreated seawater throughout the fire protection system of offshore drilling rigs and production facilities allows the growth of various organisms that eventually clog up the pipes in these systems. Each facility must rely on the fire protection system to work when needed. The De Nora’ SANILEC^® TRP seawater electrochlorination system creates sodium hypochlorite on-rig used to prevent the biofouling of the fire protection system and prevent the growth of mussels around the jockey pump. These systems eliminate the risk of transporting bulk chemicals to and from the offshore location and replace ineffective bulk dosing with a continuous low concentration dose of sodium hypochlorite. For larger onshore coastal systems, SEACLOR^® systems can also be used.
