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.

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,

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.
