 "3D model of Avitalis ballast water treatment system")
TeamTec AS and Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH have signed a cooperation agreement for the marketing of Avitalis ballast water treatment system. Avitalis is a fully automated system for the disinfection of ballast water aboard of ships. Usually ballast water, which provides stability and manoeuvrability to a ship, is pumped into ballast tanks when a ship has delivered cargo to a port and is departing with less or no cargo.
Avitalis utilises the highly efficacious and biologically degradable Peraclean Ocean that has been specifically developed for the treatment of ballast water.
As per the agreement, TeamTec takes over the global responsibility for the manufacture, sales and service of Avitalis. Evonik, with its global presence and established supply chains for specialty chemicals, ensures the supply of the customers with Peraclean Ocean as well as the further development of the technology.
TeamTec is a globally leading supplier of waste incinerators and stripping ejectors for the use aboard of ships. Beyond this, TeamTec’s parent company IMS Group is a market leader in watertight ship doors.
“In TeamTec as a globally leading supplier of maritime specialty equipment we have found the ideal partner for the marketing of Avitalis. With its broad market access and production know how for specialty components for the ship industry, TeamTec perfectly complements our own technology competencies,” explained Michael Traxler, head of the business line Active Oxygens of Evonik.
Olav Voie, CEO of TeamTec, added, “Avitalis is the ideal addition to our maritime product portfolio. With Avitalis, we are now able to also offer our customers a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for the treatment of ballast water.”
