Compare Anti-Fouling Technology Routes
Evaluating the functional mechanism of different seawater treatment systems.
MGPS / ICAF
Electrolytic Metal-Ion TreatmentUses controlled copper-ion release for marine-growth control, normally with aluminum or iron / ferrous anodes selected according to seawater-system metallurgy.
Electrochlorination
On-Site Hypochlorite GenerationUses seawater electrolysis to generate sodium hypochlorite for controlled dosing into seawater intake and cooling systems.
Ultrasonic / Coatings
Alternative Physical or Surface TreatmentAlternative technologies for specific applications. (Presented for comparison unless specified in the HELE supply scope).
Important Note: MGPS / ICAF controls marine growth inside seawater systems. It is not the same product function as ICCP hull cathodic protection.
Marine Anti-Fouling Products and Components We Supply
HELE supplies marine anti-fouling systems, electrochemical components and retrofit solutions for ships, offshore assets and seawater installations. Our product scope is organized around three engineering groups: MGPS / ICAF systems, electrochlorination systems, and control / retrofit integration.

Engineering Note
The correct anti-fouling solution should be selected as a complete system, not by component name alone. Seawater flow, fouling severity, piping materials, equipment layout, electrical supply, control requirements and maintenance strategy should be reviewed together before the final system scope is confirmed.
What We Need to Select the Right Anti-Fouling System
Anti-fouling technology and system scope should be reviewed against the complete seawater circuit—not selected from flow rate alone. The following project inputs help determine whether MGPS / ICAF, electrochlorination or a project-specific configuration is more appropriate.
| Engineering Input | What to Provide |
|---|---|
| Vessel / Asset | Vessel type, offshore asset or industrial seawater facility |
| Seawater Duty | Flow rate, operating hours and seawater source |
| Seawater Conditions | Salinity, temperature, operating region and known fouling severity |
| Protected Equipment & Layout | Sea chests, strainers, box coolers, pumps, heat exchangers, pipe sizes and system layout |
| Wetted Materials | Steel, Cu-Ni, titanium, GRP / PVC or other wetted materials |
| Treatment Requirement | Localized intake protection or wider treatment across the seawater circuit |
| Electrical & Control | Available power, control philosophy, monitoring and interface requirements |
| Installation Constraints | Available equipment space, anode / cell locations, cable routing and maintenance access |
| Existing System / Retrofit | Existing make / model, installed equipment, drawings and photographs where applicable |
| Project Requirements | Newbuild, retrofit or drydock schedule, classification, hazardous-area and owner requirements where applicable |
Engineering Note Final system selection should consider seawater flow, fouling conditions, piping metallurgy, treatment coverage, installation layout, electrical supply, maintenance strategy and project requirements together. Anode arrangement, electrolytic-cell duty, dosing philosophy and control scope should be confirmed during application review.

Need Hull Corrosion Protection Rather Than Marine-Growth Control?
Marine anti-fouling systems and cathodic-protection systems serve different functions. For hull, offshore structure or submerged-metal corrosion protection, review HELE ICCP and cathodic-protection solutions separately.
