Seanic has developed a unique subsea water blasting system (ECB) that incorporates cavitation technology capable of being used with most work-class remotely operated vessels (ROVs).

The ECB pump was built to solve an industry-wide problem, where traditional 5K pressure washers are extremely inefficient for cleaning heavy marine growth and 10K pressure washers could potentially damage sensitive materials such as rubber, paint or anti-fouling coatings. "The ECB pump is extremely efficient and powerful in the removal of marine growth from vessel hulls, strakes, risers, fairings and moorings, saving operators time and money," Seanic says.

Andy Guinn, VP of operations, remarked: "We have been consistently satisfied with the performance of the pumps. To date, our fleets of models are being used on diverse cleaning campaigns throughout the GOM. I am also excited to report that our rental partner, Ashtead Technologies, has several units working in Southeast Asia/Australia, as a result of the success in the Gulf of Mexico."

Seanic Ocean Systems is based in Houston, Texas, and was formed to address the growing demand for simple, rugged and reliable subsea tooling for remote intervention. "Our ability to provide innovative solutions to remote problems comes from our employees’ years of experience in the subsea industry," it says.
