No biological data given. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The electrochemical antifouling systems is dimensionally and mechanically stable and can be economically manufactured. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The diagram shows a schematic representation of an electrochemical antifouling systems for combating the attachment of fouling organisms on seawater wetted building structures. 02, 03 : Seawater wetted building structures; 05 : grid structure electrode 06 : Counter electrode 07 : Direct current source 23 : Direct current circuit. #CMT#INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING : #/CMT# Preferred Components: (I) is characterized by: the formation of the electrode grid structure from a non-insulated steel- or wire mesh as metal component; a flexible formation of grid structure electrode and/or counter electrode; puckering the grid structure electrode from non-insulated steel or wire mesh; a form adaptation of the electrode grid structure and/or the counter electrode on curved surfaces of the building structures to be protected; a cylinder-shaped formation of the electrode grid structure and/or a ring-shaped formation of the counter electrode, where the counter electrode is concentrically arranged to the grid structure electrode, and a modular expandability is provided through connection of the grid electrode structures and the counter electrode. Preferred Components: In (I), an insulator or an insulating jacket is provided for the electrical insulation of the grid structure electrode against an electric conductive surface of the building structures. The counter electrode is a grid- or flat band electrode. A photovoltaic or other regenerative powder is fed into the direct current source. The device is provided in an optional temporary repair mode for the damaged areas of the grid structure electrode with a circuit of the grid structure electrode as a cathode and with the adjustment of the direct current source, where an accretion of hard aragonite occurs for the protection of the damaged areas due to the production of the current density at the grid structure electrode connected as cathode.
