ABOUT
Our focus is to provide an environmentally friendly solution to marine biofouling. Biofouling poses serious issues to marine industries such as off-shore mining of oil and gas. The added marine growth causes these structures to increasingly become less efficient.
Our product is designed to easily distribute ozone gas onto marine structures through the use of a robot. This robot, Obot, attaches to the structure and pumps ozone over the surface of it.
Obot is designed to anti-foul in an environmentally friendly way, which in turn improves the vessels efficiency and protect its structure.
