ECS (Electro-Cleen™ System)
ECS (Electro-Cleen™ System) is a BMWS using direct electrolysis technology. Since Techcross received basic approval from the IMO for the world's first BWMS in 2006, the company has been providing this optimal customer- acclaimed solution with easy installation, low maintenance costs, and experience-backed services. The sea water coming into the vessel passes through the ECU and is simultaneously sterilized through a direct electric process. The processed sea water goes to the ballast tank, where the remaining hypochlorite acid perfectly prevents the regrowth of microorganisms. Later during the deballast, the remaining TRO is neutralized to minimize the impact on the marine environment. Unlike during the ballasting, the sea water is directly discharged without going through the ECU during deballasting.
THE SECRET OF TECHCROSS ELECTRODES The key to electrolysis technology is in the electrodes. Techcross has proprietary technology on the electrodes, and the company can independently manufacture the devices, enabling quality and cost control. Strict quality control and manufacturing know-how are required to produce electrodes because all manufacturing elements from materials to coating liquid and methods determine the resulting performance. Techcross electrodes are made using catalysts with high reaction factors in fresh water with insufficient chlorides. Furthermore, Techcross uses a special coating method with higher efficiency that generates cracks on the surface of the titanium electrodes to ncrease the surface area. Also, electrodes lose their lifespan with more use because of scale buildup on the negative surface, which increases resistance and requires higher current to maintain the remaining oxidants. Techcross solved this problem by reducing the scale buildup by coating special materials on the titanium electrode surfaces.
