Cathelco® is a world leading designer, developer and manufacturer of multi-patented anti-fouling, corrosion protection and freshwater systems for ships, yachts and offshore energy installations. In 2018, Cathelco was acquired by Finland-based Evac Group, the world’s leading provider of integrated waste, wastewater and waste management systems for the marine, offshore and building industries. Evac Group has entities across the globe including Evac North America Inc. Headquartered in Cherry Valley, Illinois with additional offices and service provision in Hollywood, Florida.
Founded in the UK over 50 years ago, the demand for Cathelco’s products and services has continued to grow, particularly as the marine shipping industry itself has heavily evolved. With a long history of providing anti-fouling (AF) Marine Growth Prevention Systems (MGPS) for pipe work, box coolers and sea chests, the portfolio of its services has expanded to include Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) systems, Reverse Osmosis desalination units and ballast water treatment systems.
The Cathelco MGPS has proved to be an extremely effective and versatile system for eliminating blockages in seawater pipe work caused by bio fouling. Based on the electrolytic principle of providing continuous and reliable protection without the use of chemicals, the dual system, combining pipe work AF and corrosion suppression is offered with a range of control panels and anodes to suit vessels of every size. With each system custom designed for its clients, it is able to create well-suited applications that work with much greater effectiveness.
The ICCP systems are designed to safeguard the hulls of commercial and military vessels against corrosion, and the popularity of the product continues to grow on offshore platforms, semi-submersibles, FPSOs and FSOs. With the recent surge in the renewable market, the company has further developed its advanced ICCP system to protect monopile, jacket and tripod offshore wind turbines.
In early Q2 of 2024, Cathelco will officially launch the ‘DragGone’, Ultra-Sonic Marine Growth Prevention System (UPS) a game changing solution for slashing fuel costs and reducing Green House Gas emissions while also preventing transfer of invasive marine species from vessels of all sizes through the installation and operation of a patented (USA, Canada & Europe), multi-frequency transducer technology based on Guided Wave & Heterodyning science for anti-fouling measures. Although the basic concept of ultrasound on hulls is not new, Cathelco now has a much-advanced capability in this field.
