Marine watermakers provide reliable fresh water and, in some circumstances, potable water for your operation. Since they support your operations with such crucial functionality, marine watermakers are an important investment. If you select the right one, you can enjoy its benefits for decades.

Selecting the wrong one can lead to confusion, demanding maintenance procedures, and the eventual need to purchase another watermaker sooner than you would like.

When people cut corners to save on costs, such as the focusing only on initial cost of acquiring a marine watermaker, for example, they can see increased operational expenses instead of extended savings. 

Fortunately, if you select the right watermaker system, you can expect long-term function.

H2O LLC — an innovative provider of top-tier potable water, electrochlorination, and sewage treatment systems for marine vessels and offshore oil and gas platforms — today announced that it has acquired the assets of BOSS Separators, oily water separators designed for the marine industry, from Recovered Energy, Inc. The BOSS Separators brand will remain intact and become a product of H2O LLC.

Water, water, everywhere: When you’re at sea, one of the most precious commodities you need to produce and protect is, somewhat ironically, clean water. Your offshore rig or vessel depends upon disinfected, pure seawater to keep all of your seawater utility systems running safely and efficiently. One way to ensure effectiveness and efficiency is to reduce or prevent any instances of biofouling in your rig’s seawater utility systems.

Your vessel’s electrochlorination units work to reduce biofouling in your system’s pipes, heat exchangers, and firewater systems. These treatment systems also prevent biofouling in your system’s pipes, pumps, and heat exchangers. It even reduces corrosion from microbes present in seawater, leading to system durability and longevity. 

In short, investing in a good electrochlorination system is a good way to ensure that your rig’s seawater utility systems run smoothly. 

Interested in what’s going on behind the scenes? Here’s what you need to know about how electrochlorination systems work:

Why is my seawater hypochlorite generator not producing the concentration I want? The short answer to the that question is to stop worrying about concentration (how strong the hypochlorite is) and instead understand your plant’s specified generating capacity, which is typically rated as the mass of hypochlorite generated over a period of time. This is typically measured in kg/hour or lbs/day generated.

When it comes to the critical choice of selecting a watermaker for your offshore, marine or industrial location you have very important factors to consider.
