Biofouling — the accumulation of marine organisms on submerged surfaces — costs the global shipping industry over $150 billion annually. Fouled hulls increase drag by up to 60%, wasting 10% of all shipping fuel worldwide. Beyond shipping, fouling impacts industrial cooling systems, desalination membranes, offshore platforms, and aquaculture equipment — adding billions more in cross-industry losses.
INFINIA's ultrasonic antifouling technology eliminates biofouling without chemicals, toxic paints, or dry-dock downtime. Multi-frequency sound waves (17–200 kHz) create microscopic cavitation at submerged surfaces, physically preventing barnacles, mussels, algae, and biofilm from attaching. The result: zero environmental discharge, full IMO 2023 compliance, and measurable fuel savings of 10–20% across commercial fleets.
The product ecosystem spans three tiers — Marisonia for recreational vessels, Marisonia Smart for fleet-scale management with IoT connectivity, and KeepClean for industrial applications across refineries, power plants, desalination, and geothermal facilities. KeepClean is the world's first Physical Agentic AI for antifouling: it autonomously senses fouling conditions, optimizes ultrasonic treatment parameters, and acts in real time — no human intervention required.
The global marine antifouling market is projected to reach $15.3 billion by 2028. Regulatory pressure (IMO biocide restrictions, EU BPR, EPA copper limits) is accelerating the shift from chemical to physical antifouling methods. INFINIA is positioned at the intersection of this regulatory wave and the broader industrial fouling prevention market, with proven deployments across 15+ industries in 6 countries.
