FEBRUARY 8, 2017 — Evoqua Water Technologies reports that it SeaCure ballast water management system (BWMS) continues to build momentum in the marine market.

The company has added Hong Kong based Hai Cheung to its global partnership network agreement.

In a second phase of the agreement, Hai Cheung will then produce the SeaCure system under license to facilitate demand from Chinese yards.

Gus Hou, Hai Cheung’s manager for the marine equipment business, said: “We are delighted to have formed this relationship with Evoqua. By combining the knowledge of our two organizations we will provide a robust and bespoke service to all our customers in the area.
“Over the next three years, we want to grow the business in China and become the first choice for electrochlorination equipment in this market.”

Evoqua’s SeaCURE system is an electrochlorination Ballast Water Management solution that has been developed to meet the IMO and USCG regulations, in all three salinities.

The system is based around three main pillars of filtration, electrochlorination and proprietary ORP-control logic. Utilizsing the trusted Chloropac electrolyzer, the system produces hypochlorite through the electrochlorination process to provide effective ballast water management.

The in situ generation of hypochlorite from natural seawater avoids purchasing and handling of bulk chemicals, reducing operating costs and removing safety risks.
