Optimizing Ballast Water Treatment

Protecting Our Oceans, One Ship at a Time

At Fluechem, we understand the critical role effective ballast water treatment plays in safeguarding marine ecosystems. Invasive aquatic species transported in ballast water pose a significant threat to native populations. Our high-performance Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) and Polyacrylamide (PAM) solutions are designed to empower ship operators to meet the challenges of ballast water treatment with efficiency and sustainability.

PAC: The Coagulation Powerhouse

• Effective Coagulation: PAC acts as a powerful coagulant, binding with suspended particles in ballast water. These particles include microorganisms, algae, and sediment.
• Improved Efficiency: By clumping these particles together, PAC creates larger flocs, significantly improving the efficiency of downstream filtration or sedimentation processes.
• Adaptable Performance: PAC works effectively across various water qualities, ensuring consistent performance despite changing environmental conditions.

PAM: Enhancing Floc Strength

• Floc Reinforcement: PAM acts as a flocculant, strengthening and enlarging the flocs formed by PAC. This creates larger, more stable flocs that are easier to separate from the treated water.
• Tailored Solutions: Different types of PAM (anionic, cationic, and non-ionic) address specific ballast water treatment needs. Our team will help you select the optimal PAM for your operations.
• Optimized Chemical Usage: By enhancing floc strength, PAM allows for optimized PAC dosage, minimizing environmental impact and operational costs.

The Fluechem Advantage:

• Proven Performance: Our PAC and PAM solutions have undergone rigorous testing to ensure consistent and reliable performance in ballast water treatment.
