泰科罗斯是一家韩国的生产压载水处理系统的公司。
Techcross is a leading company in ballast water management system. TECHCROSS product, Electro-Cleen™ System (ECS), obtained the industry’s very first IMO Basic Approval in 2006, and Final Approval in 2008. ECS has won numerous eminent awards including New Excellent Product by MKE (Ministry of Knowledge Economy) in Korea, National Green Tech Award and Jang Young-Shil Award by KOITA (Korea Industrial Technology Association) in 2011.
Electro-Cleen™ System (ECS) is the most effective disinfection system using electrolysis technology. With in-situ generation of electric potential and oxidants from Electro-Chamber Unit (ECU), ECS treats all of the incoming ballast water. Among the oxidants, hypochlorite remains in the ballast tanks to continuously disinfect residual organisms. More specifically, when sea water passes through the ECU, a maximum 10ppm of hypochlorite is produced within the ECU. At the same time, two more effects occur to increase disinfection efficacy.
One of these effects is the electric energy from the electrodes which physically shocks organisms resulting in the weakening of cell membrane stability enhancing the disinfection efficacy of the oxidant compounds generated by the ECU. The other effect is the production of oxidants such as hydroxyl radical and hypobromite (in addition to hypochlorite) which can oxidize cell membranes and cell walls to disinfect organisms. Among the two types of oxidants, hydroxyl radical is a powerful oxidant which is instantly generated during electrolysis but also very short lived.
On the other hand, the residual oxidant, hypochlorite is able to remain active for a much longer period to eliminate residual organisms in ballast tanks and prevent re-growth.
