Hyde Marine, a subsidiary of Calgon Carbon Corporation (CCC), has received a contract to supply six Hyde Guardian Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) systems for installation on two LR2 Aframax tankers.

The Aframax pair is being built by SPP Shipbuilding in South Korea for ship-owner Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG). The company has not disclosed the value of the contract.

The chemical-free Hyde Guardian BWT process uses filtration and ultraviolet disinfection to treat ships’ ballast water and prevent the spread of invasive species from port to port.

The company said two HG1500X-SF70 units and one HG250S unit will be installed on each of the newbuild vessels this year.

In April 2009, the International Maritime Organization approved the Hyde Guardian BWT unit, which was the first to be accepted in the US Coastguard’s shipboard technology evaluation programme.

In 2010, CCC’s UV technology division and Hyde Marine also received accreditation from Det Norske Veritas and the ANAB National Accreditation Board. The accreditation included the management system for the design, development, manufacture, delivery, installation, warranty support, and aftermarket parts and service for both the UV water treatment and ballast treatment systems.
