Ecochlor, developed in the US, treats ballast water with chlorine dioxide mixed on site from sulphuric acid and a proprietary blend of chlorate and peroxide. The system can be connected to the ballast line from anywhere and its operation is automatically linked to flow.
Sediment load is irrelevant and, unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide is only toxic for a short time and will degrade harmlessly within 24 hours. TST
