Permanent and toxin-free
inhibition is here

About

Electroclear is using electric fields to disrupt small organisms’ ability to live on selected underwater surfaces. It is a permanent, non-toxic solution that can be applied to a wide range of geometries.
Our goal is to develop a database of the different parameters that impact different organisms in different environmental conditions. Which means a customer may be able to come to us with a problem with a particular algae or larvae in a particular area of the country and we will know the exact electrical field needed to control it.

technology

Electroclear implements electric fields to protect customers’ submerged surfaces from bio-fouling growth. Encapsulated electrodes are installed on the target surface connected to a nearby power supply for implementing the specific fields.

development partners

Partnering with industry is crucial to the development of new technologies. Electroclear is seeking development partners who have more infrastructure (such as piles, pontoons, wharfs) needing protection from biofouling. If you wish to join Electroclear's network and help us bring the technology to the commercial world, please fill out the contact form below.
