Application

Fresh hot and cold water

GF Piping Systems provides thermoplastic and multilayer piping systems for efficient production and distribution of fresh hot and cold water. Fresh Water Generators (FWGs) onboard vessels convert seawater to fresh water via distillation, using condenser and evaporator plate heat exchangers. Seawater from the sea chest and hot jacket water from the engine cooling system circulate through these exchangers, using vacuum to efficiently evaporate seawater, with condensed fresh water pumped to storage tanks. Plastic piping like PE100 or Marine Grade PVC-C is crucial for transporting seawater and fresh water, resisting corrosion and scaling. We offer plastic and composite systems like INSTAFLEX (Polybutene) and iFIT (MC), with drinking water approvals for shipboard distribution.

Maximum corrosion-resistance

Essential for long-term use with seawater and chemicals, preventing leaks and contamination.

Low Scaling Tendency

Minimizes scale buildup on system surfaces, maintaining efficiency and reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

Chemical and Temperature Compatibility

Resistant to chemical treatments and varying temperatures, ensuring consistent water quality and system durability.

40% less noise generation

Plastic materials generate less noise than metal piping solutions

Success Story: Prefabricated plastic piping systems on board a luxury cruise ship

T. Mariotti, Italy

T. Mariotti is a renowned Italian shipyard specializing in constructing luxury cruise ships. After setting an industry benchmark with a sister ship, the Seabourne Venture, the company based in Genoa, decided to further improve operational safety on its latest vessel, the Seabourn Pursuit. Outfitting the potable water system with a polybutene INSTAFLEX solution by GF Piping Systems has increased longevity and hygiene while lowering maintenance costs.
