sea water treatment
(OP)
we are looking for some suppler for sea water treatment for the cooling system specialy which can take care of mussule, barnacles, and brown algae along with sea water anti scalant
Will some body help me in this regard

Good luck!
RE: sea water treatment
Generally, there are two opposing issues that apply to most treatment type systems:
1. Is the system sufficiently toxic to significantly reduce fouling?
2. Is the system sufficiently benign and legal from an environmental perspective?
Those points stated, I consider chlorination systems to be effective and easily installed. UV and ozone systems may or may not be effective, depending on local conditions. Copper systems (specifically the copper anode sytems in which a DC current is used to force the dissolution of a copper anode) usually do not deliver sufficient amounts of copper the be effective.
There are also automatic cleaning systems that can be used on tube-and-shell heat exchangers while the system is on-line. These do nothing, however, for the piping to and from the heat exchangers.
I don't believe coatings of any sort will be effective for long periods of time (i.e. years). Antifouling coatings work by using toxins (such as copper), and the coating must make available sufficient toxin to control fouling, but must also contain sufficient toxin to provide the desired service life.

In seawater you can also use Br injection. The various Cl containing acids that are the actual anit-microbials are formed by ion exchange.
This biggest issue in seawater systems is that you usually can't use periodic or burst treatments. Once the biofilms form they are too robust to penetrate. You need enough continious treatment to prevent more than a light slim from forming.
