밸러스트수 처리장치 ELECTRO-CLEAN 의 IMO 활성물질 초기승인

Abstract

The ELECTRO-CLEANTM System was granted the basic approval of ballast water management systems that make use of active substances by IMO at March 2006. This electrochemical disinfection system Electro-CleanTM uses various active substances produced from electrolysis of ballast water. These active substances attack simultaneously an organism or organisms for disinfection so that synergy effect can be expected. Active substances are not added to the system but produced during electrolysis of sea water. Some of active substances with a lifetime in nanoseconds like as Hydroxyl Radical are not remain until to ballast tank in a ship. The biological efficacy of the electrochemical disinfection system Electro-CleanTM System was tested using marine and fresh water organisms.
