    Electrolytic Ballast Water Treatment System

    Experience

    Installed Base of SANILEC systems producing over 1 million pounds per day of chlorine equivalent worldwide Severn Trent DeNora accounts for 65% of the worldwide operating on-site hypochlorite capacity Over 400 systems operating in 59 countries Offshore applications 21 different size systems capable of producing from 3 to 2400 pounds per day of hypochlorite Installations since 1974

    Electrolytic Ballast Water Treatment

    Chemistry of electrolyzing sodium chloride


    NaCl + H2O + 2e---> NaOCl + H2
    Salt+Water+Energy = Hypochlorite+Hydrogen

    Electrolytic Ballast Water Treatment

    How Does It Work ?


    Seawater slip stream enters one end of the electrolytic generator DC electric current is passed between electrodes through the Seawater to generate products Hydrogen removed while hypochlorite and seawater injected into main ballast line Br (Bromine) in Seawater reacts to form OBr (Hypobromite) and HOBr (hypobromous acid) HOBr acts as an aggressive disinfectant when injected back into the main ballast line

    Competitive Advantages
    Efficacy of Halogens for disinfection is well established Electrochemical oxidation is a well proven technology with 30 years experience in the offshore industry, marine, and coastal power plants STDN BalPureTM units are modular in construction and can be backfitted into existing vessels without major modifications Biocide has significant half life, solution mixes extremely well with ballast water, efficacy is not dependent on seawater turbidity Electrochemical oxidation systems are low cost vs. the alternate proposed technologies The cost of EC is appx. $0.02 per M3 of ballast water treated ($0.15/KWH generation cost)
