Unitor Water Treatment & Ballast Systems

Unitor water treatment and ballast systems are engineered for reliable performance in demanding marine and offshore environments. These chemical treatments are specifically trusted for protecting boilers, reverse osmosis units, and ballast tanks by delivering:

• Prevention of scale buildup in heat exchangers and boilers
• Microbial control essential for ballast water compliance
• Corrosion protection for extended equipment lifespan
• Reliable performance in harsh saltwater conditions

Marine Water Treatment Product Range

Descaling Solutions

The Descalex and Descaling Liquid provide reliable descaling for boiler systems and heat exchangers commonly found in marine environments. Available in 25-litre containers to accommodate various maintenance requirements and system capacities, these solutions effectively remove calcium carbonate deposits without damaging equipment surfaces.

Ballast Water Treatment

Ballastguard SBS 40 offers biocide treatment for shipboard ballast systems, while Ballastguard STS 30 provides oxidant neutralization for discharge compliance. These products ensure vessels meet IMO D-2 standards and MARPOL Annex requirements for ballast water management.

Reverse Osmosis Chemicals

RO Bisulphite Liquid and RO Alkaline Cleaner are designed for maintaining reverse osmosis membrane performance. The bisulphite solution protects membranes during standby periods, while the alkaline cleaner removes organic fouling and biological growth, extending membrane lifespan and maintaining freshwater production efficiency.

Boiler Treatment Chemicals

• Oxygen Scavenger Plus: Effective oxygen removal for boiler feedwater systems, preventing corrosion in steam generation equipment
• Vaptreat: Multi-functional boiler water treatment providing scale and corrosion control for marine steam systems
• Autotreat: Automated dosing solution for consistent boiler water conditioning and treatment efficiency

Specialty Treatments

• Sodium Hypochlorite 10-15%: Biocide solution for cooling water systems and potable water disinfection, available in bulk quantities
• Vacuum Pipe Cleaner: Specialized 25-litre formulation for removing deposits from vacuum sanitation systems commonly installed on passenger vessels
