The Electro-Cleen System (ECS) from Techcross employs electrolysis within the ballast pipeline, to cause an active substance, sodium hypochlorite, and hydroxyl radicals to break down the cell membrane and disinfect the ballast water. The hypochlorite solution is a strong, sustainable disinfectant that destroys the cell nucleus, while the radicals are active only for nanoseconds. Seawater passes through an Electro-Chamber Unit (ECU) placed after the ballast pump, and the disinfectants generated by electrolysis process disinfect the harmful micro-organisms. The company maintains ECS is the most effective BWTS using electrolysis technology.
