The contract includes an option for six additional systems to be retrofit onto its existing fleet. Ecochlor uses a two-step process to treat ballast water \u2013 filtration followed by disinfection with chlorine dioxide. The company says its system\u2019s effectiveness is not impaired by variations in salinity, temperature, turbidity, organics, and vibration, which can impact other treatment options.<\/p>\n
Tom Perlich, president, Echochlor said: \u201cThrough the extensive selection process we appreciated the commitment of W Marine to fully complying with all environmental regulations. Ecochlor looks forward to ensuring that each of the W Marine vessel conform to all current and future ballast water treatment requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kyriakos Koumparakis, Technical Manager, W Marine added: \u201cAfter significant research into ballast water treatment systems, the Ecochlor solution met W Marine\u2019s rigid requirements for a fully-automatic operation with low power consumption and a simple design. Ultimately, the W Marine decision was based upon their confidence in Ecochlor\u2019s ability to secure United States Coast Guard Type Approval for its ballast water treatment solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
