The Subtraction Formula Of Underwater Intelligent Cleaning Robot In IST

On March 5, the fifth session of the 13th NPC opens at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang proposed: China will promote the work of the emission peak and carbon neutrality in an orderly manner. And Try to survey and stand before they are broken to promote low-carbon energy transition. Among them, Li Keqiang focused on resolutely curbing the blind development of projects with high energy consumption, high emissions and low quality. However, there are countless ship attachments in the world every year. If they are carried for a long time, ships will become indirect low-level projects with high energy consumption and high emissions. The best way to get rid of such problems is to carry out regular ship cleaning.

So, what are the benefits of ship cleaning? 

A study by the US Navy showed that at normal cruising speed, the fuel consumption of ships with light Marine life increases by 15%, and that of ships with heavy Marine life increases by 2-3 times, up to 40%, which greatly delays the voyage and increases operating costs. The Marine life attached to the hull not only increases the energy consumption and operating cost of the ship, but also damages the coating of the ship's hull, increases the resistance of the ship, reduces the speed of the ship by about 10%, and shortens the life of the ship.

The above two points will undoubtedly increase the consumption of ships and bring huge economic pressure to shipowners. The research direction of the IST is in line with the economic "burden reduction" of shipowners. The cleaning by the IST underwater intelligent cleaning robot can effectively remove vessel attachments, thus reducing fuel consumption. Relevant case data show that the fuel consumption of ships cleaned by underwater intelligent cleaning robot decreases by about 6.7% on average in the first voyage. Effectively reduce shipowner's economic cost consumption.

As a major maritime country, China has rich Marine natural resources and a huge ecosystem. It can be said that the ocean is an important foundation and guarantee for China's economic and social development. China is committed to sustainable development. While developing Marine resources, it is also based on the protection of the Marine environment.

The annual invasion of alien species in China's Marine areas is reducing the country's Marine biodiversity and rare and endangered species. These alien species can easily enter China's sea through world trade ships, and the invasion of alien species has brought great pressure to the protection of China's Marine environment.

Regular cleaning of ships can effectively reduce the invasion of alien species. The intelligent underwater cleaning robot of IST can effectively remove ship attachments, timely get rid of the ship from the attachment of Marine organisms, reduce the situation that ships carry alien species into China's waters, help protect China's Marine life, but also relieve pressure for Marine environmental protection.

If the underwater vehicle cleaning service provided by IST is only the beginning of the "subtraction", the "decompression" achieved by "reducing the load" of ships, and ultimately "reducing the carbon" of the earth, is the final answer to the "subtraction" formula.

Over the years, IST has carried out deep research on this kind of technology by adopting flexible cavitation technology. After jet is ejects out of the nozzle with reverse opening, the connecting rod is pushed back at high speed to drive water flow to form whirlpool and encoil adsorption. At the same time, the high density cavitation bubbles generated by the water jet fill the gap between the hull and the attachment, which can clean and strip the attachment at the moment of collapse. Moreover, IST cleans 96 to 97% of the underwater area faster than traditional cleaning methods, and the cleaning effect lasts two to three times longer. Very good to help the ship to achieve emission reduction problems, reduce the ship fuel consumption, thereby reducing the emissions of the dioxide.

In the future, IST will continue to innovate and upgrade technology to innovate and research more Marine new technology, and focus on ship cleaning business to create more value for shipowners!
