Water Jetting Systems for Ship Cleaning | Efficient, Safe, and Eco-Friendly Solutions
Water jetting systems for ship cleaning provide high-pressure water streams (up to 2800 bar) to clean and maintain vessels, including hulls, decks, and marine equipment. These systems efficiently remove marine fouling, rust, oil, dirt, paint, and grease, ensuring ships stay in optimal condition while minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Whether you need to clean a cargo ship, tanker, cruise liner, or offshore vessel, our water jetting systems offer eco-friendly, cost-effective, and non-abrasive cleaning solutions for all types of ships.
How Water Jetting Systems Work for Ship Cleaning
Water jetting systems for ship cleaning operate by using high-pressure water streams to remove debris, marine growth, and other contaminants from ship surfaces. The key components of these systems include:
How It Works
High-Pressure Pump: Provides the necessary pressure (typically 500 bar to 2800 bar) to propel water through nozzles
Rotary Nozzles: Spins to cover a large area, ensuring efficient cleaning of wide surfaces
Flexible Lances & Hoses: Allow access to difficult-to-reach areas like hulls, pipes, and machinery
Control System: Regulates water flow and pressure for optimal cleaning performance
Water Recovery (Optional): Collects and filters used water for reuse or environmental disposal, ensuring eco-compliance
Technical Specifications
- Pressure Range: 500 – 2800 bar (customizable based on cleaning requirements)
- Flow Rate: 15 – 200 LPM
- Power Sources: Electric, Diesel, or Hydraulic-powered
- Pump Type: Triplex Plunger Pumps, Axial Piston Pumps for durability and high performance
- Nozzle Types: Rotary nozzles, fixed nozzles, and specialized nozzles for marine cleaning applications
- Mounting Options: Skid, Trailer, or Vehicle-mounted for mobility
- Hose Length: Flexible hoses up to 100 meters
- Water Recovery: Optional systems to collect, filter, and recycle water for reuse
Applications of Water Jetting Systems for Ship Cleaning
Water jetting systems are ideal for a variety of ship cleaning applications, including:
Hull Cleaning: Removes marine growth like barnacles, algae, and mussels that accumulate on ship hulls, improving fuel efficiency and speed
Deck Cleaning: Cleans decks, removing dirt, oil, and contaminants for a safe and clean working environment
Cargo Holds & Tanks: Prepares cargo holds for new cargo by removing residues from previous loads, ensuring cleanliness and safety
Engine Room & Machinery Cleaning: Cleans engines, pumps, and machinery from grease, oil, and dirt, ensuring optimal performance
Underwater Cleaning: Water jetting is an ideal solution for cleaning underwater surfaces while the vessel is in dry dock or during operational breaks
Pipe & Valve Cleaning: Cleans pipelines, valves, and other critical components, ensuring proper water flow and functionality
Coating Preparation: Prepares surfaces for painting or coating by removing old paint, rust, and contaminants
