Free & Total Chlorine in Ballast Water Treatment

Free & Total Chlorine in Ballast Water Treatment

Proper disinfection of ballast water is critical to safeguard local environments and mitigate the introduction of non-native organisms from cargo ships travelling the globe. As opposed to oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), another common measurement used to control ballast water disinfection, accurate chlorine measurement in ballast water is necessary when specificity to chlorine or other halogen-based disinfectants is desired. AlpHa’s amperometric RC67 and RC68 chlorine sensors provide a continuous, direct measurement of chlorine in parts per million (ppm).
