MAIN BENEFITS OF LLALCO'S MARINE GROWTH PREVENTION SYSTEMS
Most Llalco systems have a dual action, eliminating biological fouling and reducing corrosion.
In the case of steel pipes, the corrosion suppression anodes are made of aluminium, while cupro-nickel pipes are protected against corrosion with ferrous anodes.
When installed, corrosion rates are significantly reduced, prolonging the life of the pipelines and any other equipment that is connected to the seawater system.
