Physical And Chemical Treatments News

The introduction of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) via ships’ ballast water is an increasingly disastrous ecological issue. Numerous mechanical, physical and chemical treatments that may reduce such occurrences are presently being investigated. The 2004 International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments is the major driving force for the development and adaptation of ballast water treatment systems. The SiCURE system combines physical separation with a proprietary process of on-demand treatment with biocides produced in-situ from seawater.
