2 Ultrasonic antifouling toscano, a company leader in electronics and technology, founded in 1971, develops and manufacture a comprehensive range of equipments for water, power, and environment sectors. Designed for high performance, durability and ease of use, their products are available through a global network of dealers and distributors. toscano s world-class laboratories, test and R&D facilities continuously push the boundaries, striving for perfection and innovation. toscano in conjunction with European universities have spent many years researching ultrasound technology to control and deter bacteria and growth. The results and development of their work can be found in a number of their products Ultrasound fouling removal and protection The introduction and transmissions of ultrasound destroys, inhibits and prevents the growth of algae and barnacles. Ultrasound is clean and kind to the environment and provides many cost and maintenance benefits. The Dumo ACM, extremely cost effective 2

3 Destruction and growthinhibition of algae by ultrasonic energy pulses Ultrasounds are present in a wide range of frequencies, beyond the range of human hearing (20Khz 10Mhz) Sound propagation in water is carried out by a continuous dual phase wave transition: rarefaction, negative pressure and compression, positive pressure. View the Dumo ACM demonstration video Our DUMO ACM offers a coupling technology that matches the transmission pulses to the water density. Installed outside of the boat submerged under water our transducer delivers highly effective ultrasonic waves resulting in increased acoustic pressure and penetration, covering greater distances. Vacuole Chloroplasts Core The DUMO ACM transmits patterns of differing harmonic frequencies. These changing sound waves are varied in time and intensity. This combination is extremely effective in causing damage to vacuoles or cell tissue inhibiting the growth and vital functions of algae and barnacles. See (fig.1) Once activated, the performance of DUMO ACM will be noticed depending on the environmental conditions, water nutrients, hull shape as well as other biological variables. mg Chlorophyll A / m 3 Fig Destruction Release of chlorophyll A Chlorophyll A Weeks Trend mg Chlorophyl A / m Inhibition Release of chlorophyl A Weeks With US Trend w/ US Without US Trend w/o US 3

4 Ultrasonic antifouling The most effective and ecological way to prevent fouling and barnacles DUMO ACM Marina DUMO ACM: A very effective and environmentally friendly way to prevent fouling. The DUMO ACM provides an environmentally safe and harmless way to alleviate fouling and barnacles from your vessel s hull, propellers and under water fittings, culminating in improved fuel consumption, enhanced sailing performance and easy hull maintenance. Installation is easy and versatile. All you need to do is float or install the transducer in line with the bow or stern of your vessel and connect the ultrasonic electronic generator to a power source. That s it as simple as that!. The DUMO ACM systems work equally as well cleaning and repelling growth from pontoon and dock frame works, under water pipelines, any cables, as well as sumerged structures. The Advantages and Benefits Environment friendly Easy to install Safe Causes no harm to humans, animals or plants. Clean reduces the need for eroding toxic enhanced paints Minimal maintenance Reduces maintenance costs 24/7 service Low power consumption Reduces fuel consumption Improves sailing performance 4
