 3. ECS OVERVIEW

3.1 Introduction of ECS

3.1.1 General Information

The purpose of a ballast water treatment system is to preserve the marine environment by preventing
harmful sea organisms from migrating through ship’s ballast water. Techcross Inc. has developed and
manufactured ECS, a Ballast Water Treatment System, and its goal is to sterilize marine bio species that
pose potential threats to oceanic ecosystem elsewhere. ECS, with its compact design integrated with
electrolysis technology, meets the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO).

3.1.2 Principles of disinfection

There are four disinfection mechanisms in the electrolysis process of ECS: Hypochlorous acid, Radicals,
ORP (oxidation reduction potential), and Residual chlorine. Hypochlorous acid, Radicals, and ORP
(oxidation reduction potential) sterilize harmful organisms contained in the ballast water and Residual
chlorine prevents harmful organisms from regenerating in the ballast tanks.

3.1.3 Safety
ECS is developed and designed to ensure that the operation is conducted in a safe and efficient
manner, and to familiarize the users with the basic procedures that affect their own safety and
the safety of their fellow users. However, the users should read the manual thoroughly and be
educated to be able to maintain overall control of software and hardware safety before starting to
operate ECS.

17
ECS Quick Manual
ECS Manual

3.1.4 Environment friendly

ECS employs electrolysis method for active substance to disinfect micro-organisms in the ballast water.
The levels of active substances produced during the electrolysis of seawater are below the standards for
dangerous substances (United States standards). ECS adopts automatic neutralization system which is
ANU to neutralize the treated water in the ballast tanks, resulting in lowering the TRO value below 0.2mg/
L before discharging in order not to interrupt marine environment.

3.3 OPERATION PROCESS

3.3.1 Ballasting Procedure

The ballast water flows into the ship’s ballast pipelines through ballast pumps via sea chests. The
intake seawater is disinfected by ECS, and the disinfected water remains in the ballast tanks until it
is discharged. The ECS system, controlled by CPC, carries out the disinfection procedure.

3.3.2 Deballasting Procedure

Before discharging the treated ballast water in the ballast tanks, TSU examines the TRO
concentration. As a result of electrolysis, the TRO value goes down to 0.2 mg/L or lower by means
of neutralization devices; TSU re-examines the TRO concentration of the neutralized water.

6.3 Main Problems and Measures
Problem:
- ECS shuts down one minute after alarm message “The flow rate is higher the regulated standards”
appears.
Reason:
- Flow rate is above the normal range. (Normal Range: 10% ~ 110% of pump capacity)
Solution:
- Valve throttling is required to ensure that the measured flow rate of FMU is within the normal
range of rated flow of ECS.
- Lower the flow rate by turning the valve to the close direction. (Make sure that the flow rate of
ECS is within normal range.)

Lower the flow rate by

turning the valve to the close
direction

Problem:
- ECS shuts down 10 minutes after alarm message, “The amount of TRO concentration is lower
than the regulated standard” appears.
Solution:
- Close Air inlet manual valve of Ex-CLX and Verfity the "0" pressure of Regulator

2). Check whether pipe or SV(Solenoid Valve) is clogged up or not.
3). When the pipe or SV is clogged up, disassemble the Solenoid valve and remove the foreign
materials after disassembling
(Please refer to 7.3.3 Procedure for maintenance of Ex-Soleniod valve)
2. When the same problem persists even if sampling water flows into the sensor:
1). Check replacement date of Ex-CLX Sensor.
(Please refer to “Check points before operation-Selecting Remote mode
and Checking Supplies -step3”.)
2). Make sure to prevent air coming into the tube between CLX reagent and the Ex-CLX
when replacing the solution.

Subj: AMS ACCEPTANCE LETTER – Techcross-Electro-Cleen 5760
October 04, 2013
 

In accordance with 33 CFR 151.2026 (a)(5), the AMS application required the submittal of a
type approval application for the BWTS. The type approval information submitted with the
AMS application does not have any bearing on the type approval status of the BWTS, nor does
Coast Guard acceptance of the Electro-Cleen BWTS as an AMS indicate that the BWTS meets
requirements for Coast Guard type approval.

The following conditions apply for the operation of the Electro-Cleen BWTS in U.S. waters:

1. The AMS manufacturer must comply with all general conditions of certification
stipulated in the type approval certificate issued by the Republic of Korea, as referenced
above. Revocation of type approval by the approving authority will result in revocation
of this AMS acceptance. Copies of all reports required under the stated conditions of use
must be submitted to the Office of Environmental Standards (OES-3) at the following
address or email:

2703 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE
Washington DC 20593-7509
Tel: 202-372-1402
e-mail: [email protected]

2. Because the AMS has not been adequately tested in freshwater, its use as an AMS is
limited to the treatment of marine and brackish water with a practical salinity unit (PSU)
concentration greater than 1.

3. Installation and repairs of the AMS must be performed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and approved by the flag administration or its representative.

4. Operation and maintenance must be conducted in accordance with all specifications and
limiting conditions stipulated on the certificate of type approval and with the
manufacturer’s instructions, including any limitations posed by environment (for
example, water quality, temperature, salinity, or other parameters) or vessel operations
(for example, voyage duration, pumping rates, or other constraints). The following
specific conditions apply:

a. Flow rates: The flow rate of ballast water through the system should not exceed the
treatment rated capacity (TRC) for the installed system.

b. Design dose of oxidants: The Electro-Cleen BWTS is designed to operate with a

total residual oxidant (TRO) concentration between 6 and 10 milligrams per liter
(mg/L). An error message will occur if the TRO concentration is above or below this
concentration.

Subj: AMS ACCEPTANCE LETTER – Techcross-Electro-Cleen 5760
October 04, 2013
 

c. Maximum allowable discharge concentration (MADC): Prior to the discharge of

treated ballast water, the TRO concentration must be measured to ensure compliance
with all applicable federal, state, and local water quality effluent limits for all
discharged chemicals, including disinfectant by-products (DBP). This BWTS
employs sensors to monitor the TRO concentration at the time of ballast water
discharge.

A historical record documenting that the system has been operated within these criteria,
including a record of any alarm conditions, shall be made available for review onboard
the vessel.

5. In accordance with the type approval by the Republic of Korea, Electro-Cleen systems
may be combined in parallel to achieve higher TRCs. Flow partitioning to each
individual system must be approved by the flag administration or its representative before
installation.

6. If installed on a U.S. flag vessel, it must be shown that the system and installation comply
with or provide an equivalent level of safety to the requirements of 46 CFR Subchapter F
(Marine Engineering) and Subchapter J (Electrical Engineering). All electrical
equipment located within hazardous areas must be explosion proof or intrinsically safe as
certified by an independent laboratory recognized by USCG per 46 CFR 111.105-7.

7. Use of the AMS is specified in the ship’s ballast water management plan (BW plan),
required by 33CFR 151.2050(g). The BW plan must identify: (1) the ballast water
management practices to be used in the event the AMS cannot be used and (2) the
personnel responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of the BWTS. An up-to-
date record of the operation, maintenance, and repair of the BWTS must be maintained
onboard the ship.

8. Any change in design, materials, manufacturing, or intended operational conditions of

this BWTS without prior notification to, and acceptance by, the U. S. Coast Guard will
automatically invalidate this AMS acceptance. Prior to any such change, the
manufacturer of an AMS must notify the Commanding Officer, U. S. Coast Guard
Marine Safety Center (MSC), at the following address or e-mail:

frequent process upsets or out-of-bounds operating conditions, or other situations or
process-related conditions that may reduce treatment effectiveness. The vessel may
continue to the next U.S. port of call, subject to the directions of the COTP or District
Commander, as provided by 33 CFR 160.

10. All transport and handling of chemicals required for proper operation of the AMS must
be conducted in accordance with 46 CFR 147 (Hazardous Ships' Stores), 49 CFR 171-
180 (Hazardous Materials Regulations), and 46 CFR 98.30 (portable tanks), as
appropriate.

11. Use of the AMS must be reported in the ship’s ballast water management reports
submitted to the National Ballast Information Clearinghouse, as required by 33CFR
151.2060, as follows:
