Ballast Water Treatment

  • Maynard, United States of America

  • About Us

    Ecochlor, Inc. has developed proprietary ballast water treatment systems that have been specifically designed to safely and economically eliminate the worldwide transfer of aquatic invasive species. Ecochlor, Inc. was founded in 2001 with the sole purpose of commercializing 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 ballast water. The company installed its first commercial scale system in 2004. The Ecochlor® Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) provides shipowners with cost effective, environmentally acceptable treatment that complies with all enacted and proposed standards and regulations. In-house experts and the company’s team of strategic partners supply not only complete design and fabrication of the Ecochlor Systems, but also provide marine engineering, naval architecture, chemical treatment expertise, shipboard installation and ongoing technical and regulatory certification support. Ecochlor’s treatment methodology utilizes the unique properties of chlorine dioxide. This biocide, not to be confused with chlorine, has been used safely and effectively in industrial and municipal water treatment applications for over 70 years but has never been used in any shipboard applications until now.
