Neutralization of chlorinated chemicals for ballast water chemical treatment

Ballast water is seawater that is stored in ballast water tanks for weight to maintain the stability of the ship. During ballast water discharge, if organisms contained in the ballast water are discharged in areas that are not their natural habitat, it can affect the ecosystem.

To resolve this issue, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments in 2004, which came into effect in September 2017. Our products are used as neutralizers for ballast treatment systems that must be installed since the treaty came into effect.
