SeaCURE Ballast Water System gets type approval
Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) - Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany type approval completes international approval process for SeaCURE Ballast Water System. SeaCURE is now a product of Evoqua Water Technologies, formerly Siemens Water Technologies. Proven Chloropacconcentric tubular electrodes used in the SeaCURE system produce biocide from seawater without the addition of chemicals. Solution available in skid-mounted version for new builds or as modular components for retrofits. The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie- BSH) has granted type approval for the SeaCURE Ballast Water Management System. The SeaCURE system is now a product of Evoqua Water Technologies, formerly Siemens Water Technologies. BSH's type approval of the SeaCURE system concludes the international approval process that began with the basic approval and then final approval granted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2012. The SeaCURE system utilizes a patented process* that first injects biocide into ballast seawater before it reaches the large surface filter intakes to reduce the growth of marine organisms that can clog the filters. Next, Chloropac? concentric tubular electrodes (CTE) generate sodium hypochlorite from the natural salinity in sea water which eliminates the need to purchase biocides and store or replenish ...
