This ballast water treatment process offers a number of advantages over other techniques:
This allows for a consistent, easy-to-use system for the crew without the uncertainty of its effectiveness when faced with varying water types.
The Ecochlor BWMS uses FilterSafe’s 40 micron filter: a fully automatic self-cleaning operation that handles heavy sediment loads.
The filtration system has both vertical and horizontal filter options, significantly reducing its footprint where space is tight. Other advantages include:
The Ecochlor system, with the exception of the filters, can be placed almost anywhere and is designed to meet existing space limitations on board the vessel. The Ecochlor systems are capable of treating up to 16,200 m3/hr. and the size of the system does not grow in proportion to the ballast water flow rates either in physical size or in power consumption.
