Evoqua Water Technologies has obtained type approval from DNV GL for its ballast water management system SeaCure.
The company described the certification as “an exacting standard that takes into account a system’s design, construction, operation and functionality”. The electrochlorination and filtration based unit received IMO type approval from the German flag authority in 2014.
Matt Granitto, business manager for ballast water treatment, said: “We are very proud that our BWMS has received DNV GL type approval. This certificate is a benchmark standard for marine equipment that will provide assurance to our customers as to the quality and safety of SeaCURE.”
The SeaCure system uses a Chloropac electrolyser to produce hypochlorite that, combined with a filtration process, treats ballast water to the required standard.
