Minitek ICCP systems
Corrosion protection for steel hulls
Corrosion protection for steel hulls
Designed to protect steel hulls against corrosion, the Minitek system consists of a control panel and an arrangement of hull mounted anodes and reference electrodes. The current to the anodes is automatically adjusted to provide the optimum level of corrosion protection. Anode life is 15 years - far longer than sacrificial anodes.
Evac Evolution ballast water management system
Space saving system for superyachts
Space saving system for superyachts
The space saving Evac Evolution ballast water management (BWM) system is specifically designed for superyachts and has now attained U.S. Coast Guard Type Approval and IMO approval to the revised G8 standard. Developed by Cathelco over a period of ten years, the system is based on a combination of filtration and UV technology and is entirely chemical free with capacities from 34-80m3/hr upwards. It is available in modular form for retrofit applications or can be supplied skid mounted for newbuilds.
Cathelco Desalinators
Reverse osmosis desalinators for luxury yachts
Reverse osmosis desalinators for luxury yachts
Cathelco manufacture a range of reverse osmosis desalinators which are used to turn seawater into drinking water. They have gained a reputation for the reliability of their products which are expertly engineered using high quality components. The ‘Ton’ series of desalinators, suitable for megayachts, have outputs from 10 to 40 cubic metres per day. They are fully automatic in operation and modular in design for easy installation.
Marine Growth Prevention Systems (MGPS)
Preventing blockages in engine cooling systems
Preventing blockages in engine cooling systems
Cathelco MGPS systems eliminate blockages in engine cooling systems caused by barnacles and mussels. Their effectiveness has been proven on more 500 luxury yachts around the world. The system is based on the electrolytic principle and consists of a compact control panel wired to anodes which are mounted in seachests or strainers. The copper anode produces ions which are carried by the flow of seawater and create an environment where larvae do not settle or breed.
Cathelco Alutek Systems
Aluminium hull corrosion protection systems
Aluminium hull corrosion protection systems
Alutek impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems are specifically designed to protect aluminium hulls against corrosion.
Unlike traditional sacrificial anodes, Alutek uses flush mounted, lightweight anodes and advanced monitoring system to provide the optimum level of corrosion protection at all times.

Cathelco HEM hot water systems
Custom made systems - for newbuilds and retrofits
Custom made systems - for newbuilds and retrofits
Cathelco HEM have considerable experience in designing hot water systems which are tailored to individual requirements. The custom made systems can be supplied in modular form so that all of the components pass through standard doors and hatchways, simplifying installation in retrofit applications. For new buildings the equipment can be supplied skid mounted for a 'plug and play' solution.
HEM water treatment systems
Systems for yachts of every size
Systems for yachts of every size
HEM, now part of the Evac group, produce an extensive range of water treatment systems. These go from small, cost effective desalinators to the largest ultra rugged duplex systems capable of high sustained output in continuous operation. In addition, they manufacture water softeners, freshwater skids and hydrophore systems.
