PolyShield Technologies has acquired the technology rights for a desalination "bio scrubber" designed to remove alkali metal from fuel in efforts to protect gas turbines from high temperature corrosion.
The technology has recently been installed on active ships within the cruise line industry and has displayed positive results.
The technology contains processes that are patent pending in the U.S. and Europe.
This technology is said to be economical and cost reducing – both operationally and for the interval expense of gas turbine engine service.
The technology has a worldwide application that is not limited to the maritime industry and is capable of being installed during normal vessel operation without the need to use expensive dry dock time.
PolyShield's product line provides coating protection for a number of different industries including industrial, commercial, marine, aerospace, oilfield, and residential applications.
