Sonihull is proud to announce the successful installation of its ATEX and IECEx approved ultrasonic antifouling systems on New Fortress Energy’s FSRU, the Energos Winter, in Brazil. Over the past six months, Sonihull worked closely with New Fortress Energy and provided them with a turnkey solution to protect the ship’s main circulating seawater system, seawater pipeline, filters, heat exchangers, and turbo generator condensers from bio-fouling, scaling, and build-up.

Sonihull utilised twenty of the advanced Agitate Pro systems, and for the regasification chambers, ATEX and IECEx approved transducers were installed in hazardous zones, with control panels mounted within Ex d enclosures for optimal protection.

Sonihull is a pioneer in achieving ATEX and IECEx approval for ultrasonic antifouling systems, with over 220 certified transducers in operation globally. Its systems effectively prevent marine growth and scaling in various industrial applications, including heat exchangers, condensers, pumps, filters, pipes, and cooling systems.

The company looks forward to seeing the enhanced performance of the Energos Winter and continuing the collaboration with New Fortress Energy.
