Subsea Cleaning/ Under waterjetting Pumps allows us to clear out marine growth in a variety of surfaces including ship hulls and for Underwater.
Aquatek provides pumps for various industries, particularly offshore oil and gas, marine transportation, and underwater infrastructure maintenance. This process ensures the integrity and performance of underwater assets.
Subsea cleaning effectively removes marine growth, sediments, corrosion, and other contaminants that can compromise equipment functionality. By maintaining clean underwater structures, we can enhance operational efficiency and extend asset lifespans.
Water jetting is a widely adopted method in ship repair and marine industries. Utilizing pressures of 300 bar helps eliminate marine growth and salt deposits before grit blasting. The capability to employ larger pumps allows for simultaneous use of multiple jetting guns for improved efficiency.
For more demanding applications, pressures ranging from 700 to 1000 bar are effective in removing loose coatings and corrosion while preserving sound coatings for repainting. It is often stated that if 1000 bar fails to remove a coating, it is sufficiently intact for painting over.
Finally, ultra-high pressure (UHP) jetting at 2750 bar can strip all coatings back to white metal. Marine paint manufacturers endorse hydro-blasting as it eliminates chlorides and provides an optimal surface for recoating, ensuring long-lasting protection for underwater structures.
