摘要

A method for the prevention or elimination of marine accumulations on the external surface of a marine structure, whose method comprises electrolyzing water in a remote tank to the surface to be protected, passing an electric current through the water from an anode placed in the water. deposit to a cathode separated from the anode, and then distribution of such electrolyzed water on/or in the region of said surface, or electrolyzing of water in which the surface to be protected is submerged by passing an electric current through the water from a anode to a cathode electrically isolated from said surface, the anode and the cathode being separated from each other in such a way that the ions released during the electrolysis process pass along the surface being treated as the ions migrate from the anode to the cathode being the anode of a metallic alloy that contains a material that has toxic action on the f marine compositions such as algae, bacteriological sludge, limpets, clams, or other animal growths, so that the electrolytic action prevents or eliminates marine accumulations on said surface.
