Envirocleanse, owned by Charter Brockerage, a Berkshire Hathaway company, has developed the ‘inTank’ Ballast Water Treatment solution. This USCG, IMO Type approved BWTS aims to prevent the transfer of harmful marine organisms via a ship’s ballast water.
Utilizing patented nozzles inside a vessel’s ballast tanks and a hypochlorite generator, the ‘inTank’ BWTS is the most dynamic, advanced and sustainable system on the market. Aitken Marine International are the official agent for Envirocleanse in the Middle East/GCC Region.
We can offer the option of two ‘in tank’ systems. One Electrochlorination and the other Bulk Chemical injection.
Envirocleanse inTank Ballast Water Treatment Systems
The ‘inTank’ BWTS, suitable for high ballast dependent vessels, treat’s ballast in the ballast tank, during the voyage, by either generating sodium hypochlorite using only clean seawater and electricity -or- utilizing bulk liquid chemical. The inTank BWTS doses a small portion of ballast water with concentrated sodium hypochlorite and returns it to the ballast tank. This is all accomplished without the use of a filter.

Benefits
Accompanied by Aitken Marine’s holistic Project Management of Installation, the Envirocleanse ‘inTank’ solution provides a compliant and extremely cost effective BWTS solution for both CAPEX and OPEX.
Other benefits of Envirocleanse include:
No invasion into existing Ballast piping system: therefor no large Dia Pipe modification or installation in Engine room
No parallel interference to Cargo Operations
Delivery pipework and manifolds shall be of a smaller Dia than conventional systems, therefore reducing installation costs.
Less complicated and user-friendly Control system and automation.
No Large Filters required, thus reducing equipment and installation modification costs.
Reduced delivery and installation time (Out of service reduced)
No impact or additional delays on Ballast Uptake schedules
Either of these compliant USCG and IMO Type Approved systems provide a compliant and extremely cost effective solution particularly with fleets who are tied to long term and long distance trading patterns, as well as a more cost effective solution for ageing or new fleets.
