ProvenSystems have been in

operation on ships since

2004. USCG STEP Approved

technology used in the

Ecochlor Treatment

System has been used

for municipal water

treatment for over

60 years.

ScalableThe system is scaled

for different size ships

and the space-efficient

filtration system can

be installed vertically

or horizontally.

EconomicalBecause of the unique

design, larger systems

are particularly

cost-effective when

compared to other

technical approaches.

ReliableSystem is ship-sturdy,

requiring little main-

tenance. It effectively

removes all aquatic

organisms from

ballast water.

System effectiveness is not affected by salinity, temperature, turbidity, organics, vibration or other variables that impact other treatment options

Simple performance verification; easy operation

Alloy 20, 316L stainless steel and solvent and corrosion-resistant coatings used for long life

Explosion-proof option for hazardous areas

The Ecochlor Process includes a Filtration System

to remove sediments and larger organisms as well as

a Treatment System that eliminates smaller organisms

and pathogens.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) technology – safe, reliable and cost-effective

Ten consecutive test cycles on land and aboard ship over 2 years with zero surviving organisms

Environmentally safe – does not generate chlorine, chlorine gas or other unwanted decomposition products

Module is self-contained, fully automated, requires low power and has a small footprint

Treatment will have no effect on ballast water tank coatings

Proven treatment technology effectively eliminates invasive aquatic species, bacteria and other pathogens

How It Works

The Treatment System

generates a dilute solution of

chlorine dioxide as needed

to treat incoming ballast

water. A small amount of

supply water is needed from

the ship. The water can be

seawater or fresh water and

is only needed during ballasting. A vacuum is created in the mixing chamber as

the water passes through a specially designed venturi tube. Once this vacuum is

established, the two precursor chemicals are introduced into the mixing cham-

ber. The supply water then becomes a dilute solution of chlorine dioxide that is

sent to the main ballast water line.

Ecochlor’s Treatment System is a rugged skid-mounted system that consists of a Chlorine Dioxide Generator, self-contained chemical storage tanks, associated piping, valves and automated PLC controls.

The Heart of the System

ClO2 technology

Chlorine dioxide is a highly effective oxidant and biocide used around the world in a wide range of water purification applications. It offers a number of advantages over other disinfection chemicals and tech-niques. It can be generated safely and reliably on demand, is

non-corrosive to ship metal or coatings, and the decomposition products are environmentally safe. Ecochlor is the exclusive worldwide licensee of Ecolab/Nalco’s Purate™ chlorine dioxide technology for the disinfection of ship ballast water.

Unique Filter Screen StructureThe unique screen technology enables it to have an unparalleled zooplankton removal rate. Made out of 4 layers of sintered stainless steel screens, it is a reinforced filtering element requiring absolutely no support.

Flexible Modular ApproachThe modular filtration system enables a vertical filter to operate in the exact same manner as a horizontally installed unit while significantly reducing its footprint where space is tight.

Continuous Screen CleaningThe unique suction nozzles allow 100% cleaning of the screen after each flush cycle, ensuring continu-ous, uninterrupted filter operation without any risk of clogging.

Filtration of sediment and larger aquatic species is essential for ballast water treatment

About us

Ecochlor, Inc. was founded in 2001 with the sole purpose of commercial-izing recently obtained patents for a superior ballast water treatment technology. The patents encompass US and International protection for the use, generation and control of an active substance (chlorine dioxide) for control of aquatic invasive species in ships’ ballast water. The company installed its first commercial scale system in 2004.

Ecochlor systems provide ship owners with cost effective,

System is self-contained, fully automated and suitable for new construction or retrofits

Commercial Cargo Vessels with Large Scale Ecochlor Systems

Ecochlor’s first Ballast Water Treatment Systems were installed on the Atlantic Compass owned by Atlantic Container Line, and the Moku Pahu managed by Matson Navigation. These were the first two systems accepted into the USCG STEP program in 2008.

The Ecochlor Treatment System can be located in any convenient location on

the ship. Only the Filtration System needs to be located in close proximity to the

ballast pumps.
