September 8, 2024 is the date by which all ships must be equipped with a ballast treatment plant meeting D-2 standard.

Azienda Chimica Genovese (ACG) is the Italian agent for UV BWTS manufactured by Norwegian Green Technology, a Norwegian company supplier of highly innovative water treatment systems

Capable of adapting to any space in the engine room or other allocation thanks to three possible set-ups (on skid, semi-skid or loose delivery), the BWMS NGT system is able to treat flow rates from 50 m3/h up to 1300 m3/h and can also be supplied in compliance with ATEX rules

It is IMO and USCG certified.

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, ACG faced, among a thousand practical and logistical difficulties, a great challenge in accepting the order – coming from a Spanish company leader in industrial air conditioning solutions – for the manufacturing of an electrochlorination system suitable for the antifouling treatment of seawater used in the refrigeration cycle of a large air conditioning system located in UAE.

ACG handled this order, working closely with the Spanish client daily, following and applying the strictest standards of quality, the most advanced automation, to get a safe, reliable, and long-lasting asset.

At the end of September 2020, with great satisfaction of the whole ACG Team, the ECOLCEL® SW 1x1K skid-mounted electrochlorination plant was shipped to a new district in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

Ecolcell Brine:the plant that produces the disinfectant capable of removing Covid-19 from hard surfaces

In these difficult times, due to the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, the company Azienda Chimica Genovese can proactively support local communities by providing its experience gained in over 70 years of activity in the manufacture and sale of generators for the in situ production of sodium hypochlorite solutions at concentrations of 5000 – 10000 ppm.

The WHO has approved sodium hypochlorite, at concentrations between 5000 and 10000 ppm, as a disinfectant agent to be applied on hard surfaces for the killing of the pathogen Covid-19.

The company, feeling an integral part of the nation, informs that in a phase where the accessibility to sodium hypochlorite solutions on the market is scarce and its distribution on the national territory is slow due also to the reduced mobility of people and means of transport, not allowed or reduced in number, it is able to provide its  plants of in situ production or supply sodium hypochlorite solutions in 20-litre tanks or small 1000-litre tanks, produced and packaged at the new plant headquarters in the former Centrale del Latte di Genova.

The production plant requires only electricity, water and table salt to operate and can produce the disinfectant solution when needed and in the wanted quantity. For the management of the plant there is no need of specialized personnel, but a short training of ours can make the operator in charge operational after a few hours.
