Soni8 is the latest addition to the Sonihull range of ultrasonic anti-fouling technology. Designed for the commercial marine market’s demand for a cleaner, more cost-effective way to protect multiple areas and devices against marine bio-fouling, including hulls, structures, tanks, pipes, sea chests, box coolers, pumps and valves. With eight independent and programmable outputs, Soni8 can protect every part of your vessel or structure from marine fouling. Unlike biocidal coatings and impressed-current systems, Soni8 is low cost and low maintenance, with zero poisonous environmental legacy. With one panel and eight transducers, Soni8 has all of your equipment covered. Sonihull’s fit-and-forget systems prevent marine organisms colonising solid surfaces that are exposed to raw seawater.

Key Features
ZERO ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
No poisonous environmental legacy from biocides or metallic compounds. Zero interference with SONAR arrays or black box recovery equipment.
LOW MAINTENANCE
No expensive anodes to replace, no specialist fittings, drydocking or current isolation required.
MICROBIAL CONTROL
Suppresses Diesel bug in stored fuel and keeps potable water fresher for longer.
8 INDEPENDENT TRANSDUCERS
Soni8 effectively opens the market for large installations, where multiple surfaces and equipment can now be protected by one unit.
INTELLIGENT MULTI-MATERIAL COMMISSIONING
Operators can select different resonance algorithms for each ultrasonic transducer to suit the different materials or structures being protected.
NETWORKS WITH UP TO 32 UNITS
A potential network of 256 independently controlled and centrally managed transducers, ideal for large installations or multiple areas of protection.
CAN CONNECT UP TO 80m AWAY
Transducers are impedance matched, enabling cable lengths to be extended to 80 metres with no loss in performance. This makes Soni8 suitable for modular pre-fabricated constructions.
