The Unitor Ballast Water Treatment Systems (UBWTS) is an efficient, cost effective system designed to meet the requirements of IMO. Two models of the reactor are currently available to suit installation in vessels with 6-inch and 10-inch ballast water pipe systems respectively, with bigger systems to be developed in the future.

The Reactor combines the use of mechanical cavitation, disinfection and physical separation methods to provide a system that is equally efficient in both salt-water and freshwater environments. In addition, this combination of methods means that it can handle diverse water conditions such as high turbidity and polluted water, including that containing high levels of organic and mineral matter.

The disinfectants employed are produced within the system and thus, no additional storage facilities are required.
