Yorkshire electrical
engineering company named as sole UK SeaBis installer
Any owner of a sea-going vessel will know about the
potential perils of metal corrosion and the various means of keeping it at bay,
but there is some excellent news for such owners wishing to prevent
electrolysis – a Yorkshire electrical engineering company has been appointed as
the UK’s only approved installer for the revolutionary SeaBis system.
Pearson
Electrical, based in Hull, specialises in supporting marine, energy, industrial
and hazardous sectors,
Mark Pearson, Managing Director of Pearson Electrical, said:
“SeaBis is an absolutely amazing product, it’s the only system around capable
of detecting the stray currents which can cause electrolysis.
“We are thrilled to be approved as SeaBis installers. Having
used it ourselves to diagnose problems we know how incredibly effective it is,
and how quick and simple it is to use. We literally liked it so much we
contacted Glen and asked if we could sell and install it. He said yes, so now
we are in a position to bring this fantastic technology to boat owners across
the UK.”
Designed
by international surveyor Glen Bishop, who has racked up more than 55 years of
experience and knowledge in corrosion
prevention, including nine years at sea, SeaBis is working wonders around the
world.
Electrolysis can be hugely damaging. If electric currents
leave the boat as tiny earth leakages then enter the hull, engine or any metal parts, the steel
will rot. The unobtrusive 8inch by 4inch SeaBis unit is a unique device that
detects and warns of stray electric currents (which are the root cause ofallelectrolysis)
allowing the owner – or electrical engineering experts such as the Pearson team
– to diagnose and repair any faults before the hull or engine is affected.
Pearson Electrical is the only company in the UK with rights
to install SeaBis. Vessel owners can purchase their own SeaBis unit direct from
Pearson Electrical so they in effect have a constant early warning system on
board, or alternatively they may wish to hire a unit from Pearson on an ad hoc
basis.
Mark added: “We’re expecting SeaBis to be a very popular
product and will ensure we always have some in stock so that we’re able to
install a unit and conduct a diagnosis very quickly.
“The value-for-money this offers boat owners is superb. The
costs of repairing a corroded vessel
are significant, plus there’s the impact of downtime while the vessel is out of
action. For just a few hundred pounds, you can practically eliminate these
risks.”
SeaBis designer Glen Bishop, who lives in Australia, said:
“Ninety-seven per cent of marine corrosion is caused by electrolysis, and stray
current is always the cause. SeaBis offers a solution to identify, understand,
then prevent the cause permanently, saving you thousands of pounds.
“I was pleased to hear from Mark at Pearson about the success
he’d had using SeaBis, and even more delighted to appoint Pearson Electrical as
an approved installer. I know the company works to extremely high standards and
has a reputation for excellent customer service, so SeaBis is in safe and very
capable hands with Mark and his team.”
SeaBis is guaranteed
for eight years with a design life of 20 years.
