<p>The invention relates to: A method for the hindrance of adherence and growth of living marine organic items (1) on a surface (5) of an object (2) by means of a magnetic flux (3), said surface (5) being exposed to a marine environment (7). The object of the present invention is to provide a method to achieve an anti-fouling effect on an object exposed to a marine environment, which method is flexible in use in that it may be customized to different requirements as regards placement of the sources and the distribution and the density of the magnetic flux. It is a further object of the invention to provide a method that does not require the exposed object to be treated in a magnetic field. The objects are achieved in that the magnetic flux (3) is created by one or more macroscopic discrete sources (6) carried by the object (2). The invention may be used in relation to the protection of the hull of a ship, oil-drilling rigs, oil-producing platforms, or power plants, tubes or pipes, cooling water systems, aquaria, fish tanks, other tanks, or any other submerged objects subject to adherence of living marine creatures or plants.</p> |
