Travis Hills works for effective ballast water treatment system with no chemicals

An effective Ballast Water treatment system involves heating the ballast water to reach a temperature that will kill the organisms. It enables the ships to manage their ballast water and sediment discharge to a certain standard. There is a huge possibility that ballast water may pose serious ecological, economic and health problems due to the multitude of marine species carried in ships ballast water. These species include bacteria, microbes, small invertebrates, eggs and larvae. These species can further become invasive, out-competing native species and multiplying into pest proportions. 

There are certain approaches to treat ballast water which include mechanical, physical or chemical. Where mechanical methods include separation and filtration; physical methods include ozone, electrical currents, or UV radiations and chemical solutions are biocides. All the ships are required to implement a ballast water management plan and they need to carry a ballast water record book and ballast water management procedures to a given standard. 

Working for an effective Ballast Water Treatment System, Travis Hills considers it the best system with no chemicals, no filters, no UV, and no maintenance. It uses only electricity, no chemicals, and all steps are combined inline the moving stream of ballast water in real time, with no byproduct. It fulfills the need of the industry to have an efficient, low cost treatment technology to deal with the extremely large volume, varied, and life-filled and toxic waters that arise from ballast.

The Ballast Water Treatment System that Travis Hills works for created and patented the optimum configuration to use the disinfection abilities of technologies in series to achieve 100% kill. It ensures that each method is highly effective at certain species. Moreover, the cost is significantly less that either direct competitor with 50-80% reduction in acquisition and operations cost. 

The best part is that it employs no filters or chemicals and yields only sterile seawater, regardless of pollutant or level. The ballast water can be reused or disposed of legally anywhere under full compliance with US and EU regulations.
