Vapor Infusion
for Biofouling, Scaling, and Corrosion
Environmentally friendly alternative that reduces fouling and protects heat exchangers and process equipment that use water as a process stream.
Vapor Infusion Applications
Drill ships and offshore rigs
Cruise and cargo ships
Aquaculture
Vaporous Treatments
Iodine*
- Biofouling
- All surface treatment
- Microbial inhibition
- Macro foul disruption
- Void and containment disinfection
Bubble Characteristics
- Iodine vapor core
- Continual iodine biocidal source
- Iodine aqueous surface
- Microbial inhibition
- Macro foul disruption
- Void and containment disinfection
- Reduced oxygen presentation
- Reduced foul support
- Marginally soluble in water
- Low fluid residue
- Denser than air
- Disruptive bubble
- Greater impact
*NOTE: Iodine is not for sale or use in the United States of America.
Benzoate Salts
- Multi-metal treatment

Gordon Berryman
Marine EngineerMy experience with the infusion system from HTRI on marine plate heat exchangers helped the vessel improve efficiency due to increased heat transfer from cleaner coolers and the reduced differential pressure om the S/W pumping system. Not only is the infusion system easy to install into an existing system, but it also reduces the maintenance hours to maintain a conventional marine heat exchanger system.
