HASYTECgroup

What HASYTECgroup does

HASYTECgroup is a German cleantech company founded in Kiel in 2016 that develops and manufactures AI-controlled ultrasound antifouling systems to prevent organic and inorganic deposits on liquid-carrying surfaces. The company's core technology, Dynamic Biofilm Protection, uses externally glued ultrasonic transducers that analyze local environmental parameters (ambient temperature, material thickness, viscosity, medium temperature) in real time and adapt their frequency and power output to prevent biofouling, biocorrosion, and marine growth. The platform is delivered through two product lines: DBPI (Dynamic Biofilm Protection Intelligent) for commercial shipping applications — seawater cooling systems, propellers, freshwater generators, and bow/stern thrusters — and IDP (Intelligent Deposit Protection) for industrial cooling and process equipment in food, dairy, beverage, and paper sectors. The operating entity is Ultrasonic Tech GmbH, with HASYTEC Holding GmbH as parent.

The company sells configured hardware systems (up to 8 transducers per IDP control unit) directly to enterprise customers via a sales-led motion, supplemented by regional channel partners in Greece/Cyprus (Environmental Protection Engineering S.A.) and Norway (Ålesund Maritime via Ålesund Maritime), and complemented by installation and 24/7 service. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; configuration is determined through technical consultation. Revenue is generated through hardware sales and professional installation services; ongoing software updates and system monitoring are delivered via an integrated USB port. Notable reference customers include TUI Cruises (fleet rollout beginning with Mein Schiff 6 cruise ship in April 2022, the first cruise vessel globally equipped with the technology) and Tree Energy Solution's FSRU EXCELSIOR LNG terminal in Wilhelmshaven (commissioned 2023, preventing 32 tonnes of chlorine discharge annually into the Wadden Sea UNESCO site). The company reports approximately 800 ships equipped, ~500 propellers fitted, and an estimated 330,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions reduction annually across the equipped fleet.

Core offering

HASYTECgroup develops, manufactures and sells AI-controlled ultrasound antifouling systems that prevent biofilm, fouling and deposits on ship hulls and industrial pipework without chemicals or biocides. Its flagship marine product DBPI® (Dynamic Biofilm Protection Intelligent) targets commercial shipping, while IDP® (Intelligent Deposit Protection) serves industrial cooling and process-water applications, both delivered as engineered hardware systems with embedded intelligent electronics and remote monitoring.

Product overview

HASYTECgroup offers a portfolio of AI-controlled ultrasound antifouling technologies developed and manufactured in Germany. The core offerings are DBPI® (Dynamic Biofilm Protection Intelligent) for commercial shipping and IDP® (Intelligent Deposit Protection) for industrial applications. Both products share the same underlying AI-controlled ultrasound technology platform, using transducers that analyze environmental parameters and generate optimized ultrasound frequencies to prevent organic and inorganic deposits, biofouling, and biocorrosion on all liquid-carrying surfaces.
