Ultrasonic Antifouling USP DragGone™
Most operators recognise the need to combine modern hull coatings with a purpose designed impressed current cathodic (ICCP) protection system. Cathelco produce a range of hull anodes, reference electrodes and control panels which enable their ICCP systems to be fitted on all types of ships and offshore platforms.
How the system works
HETERODYNING TECHNOLOGY
Multi-frequency protection for all waters
Generates multiple ultrasonic frequencies to target a wider range of fouling organisms compared to traditional ultrasonic antifouling systems.
GUIDED WAVE TECHNOLOGY
Complete hull coverage with fewer transducers
Channels energy through the hull structure, ensuring protection over a larger area with 60% fewer transducers, reducing the need for additional hardware and installation complexity. The DragGone™ system is 40x more efficient than traditional ultrasonic antifouling systems.
Stop biofouling before it starts – protect your vessel 24/7
Prevent biofouling from attaching during prolonged idle periods (e.g., at port or in DP mode), reducing fuel consumption and the need for manual cleaning.
Cut fuel costs by up to 13% with a biofouling-free hull
Achieve up to 13% reduction in fuel use by keeping your hull clean and drag-free, particularly during low-speed or standby operations.
