Novoship to Install Ecochlor BWTS on 4 Tankers

SCF Novoship Technical Management has selected the Ecochlor Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) to be retrofitted on three Aframax Oil Tankers and one Product Carrier. All of these retrofits are to be carried out in 2016.

“SCF Novoship Technical Management required a BWTS that is highly effectively in extreme climate conditions, has low power consumption and is nearing completion of the U.S. Type Approval process,” explained Tom Perlich, president and founder, Ecochlor, “The Ecochlor BWTS met all of these requirements.”

Ecochlor's BWTS employs a two step process to treat ballast water. First, a filtration system removes sediments and larger organisms, and then a chlorine dioxide treatment system eliminates smaller organisms and pathogens.
