Biofouling: A Massive & Costly Worldwide Problem
WaveArray's AI-Driven Waveform Technology Prevents Biofouling, Reduces Fuel Use and Maintenance Costs For Boaters, and Protects Marina Infrastructure From Costly Damage
What is Biofouling?
- Slime → Algae → Barnacles, Oysters, Mussels
- Grows on anything in the water
Current 'Solutions'
- Toxic Anti-Fouling Paints (Heavy Metals)
- Divers Scrapping Hulls and Marina Infrastructure
The Reality
- Only Temporary Effectiveness
- Toxins Released into the Sea
- Ecosystem Damage

Billions Lost Annually In Fuel Inefficiency, Maintenance And Environmental Damage
Biofouling - A Recurring Nightmare For Boaters and Marina Management
- Drag on Hull
- Speed & Maneuverability
- Fuel Consumption
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Invasive Species Transport
- Maintenance Costs
How it works
How it works
External Solution
Ultrasonic transducer arrays form a microscopic bubble “hurricane” that shields the hull of the boat
How The External Solution works
Fouling larvae cannot penetrate the invisible shield, preventing fouling from sticking in the first place
Internal Solution
Ultrasonic Transducers are strategically placed on the inner surface of the hull creating a very small vibrational force that do not allow the biofouling larvae to adhere.
No Impact on Marine Mammals as well as Fish and hard shell crustaceans.
Low voltage, energy
efficient design for marine environments
Solutions for fixed and floating docks
Toxic Paint Solutions
Only Slows Biofouling; Requires Boat Cleaning and Re-Painting
Ineffective
- Getting worse as the EPA & other regulators reduce the level of toxicity allowed
- Only after biofouling occurs are divers sent down to clean/scrape the hull
Toxic Chemicals
- Copper and tin biocides are toxic to the environment
- Toxicity is spread when scraped off by divers
