See the press release: Halogen amperometric total residual oxidants sensor is accepted by IMO’s GESAMP subcommittee as equivalent to the traditional DPD test. In the article, Halogen Systems president Michael Silveri is quoted as saying, “This makes the change from a DPD instrument to Halogen’s amperometric sensor straightforward. While case-by-case is required by the approval authority, repeating the initial type-approval testing is not required. With our new side stream system,

IMO now considers Halogen Systems Inc. Amperometric Chlorine Sensor as an equivalent to DPD on Ballast Water Treatment Systems We have huge news for Halogen Systems Inc. Ballast Water Management System manufacturers can now substitute Halogen amperometric sensors without repeating the complete FA testing. Contact your IL for details. We thank RWO GmbH and the GESAMP Ballast Water Working Group members for their efforts on our behalf. Both US Coast

Major news BWMS this week!  Halogen Systems along with a major name in the industry is the first to be granted Type Approval under the substitution Policy Letter No. 03-20. We are excited because no additional Type Approval testing is required to proceed with the implementation process. Meaning BWMS manufacturers can now switch from inline DPD instruments to Halogen’s TRO sensor without further testing. Congratulations are in order to the whole

Congratulations to the team at RWO GMBH for the recent USCG Type Approval with Halogen’s TRO Sensor. It is good news for their customers too! The Halogen TRO sensor does not require reagents or the installation of waterlines, needs far less maintenance, and provides a lower cost of ownership. DNV-GL has determined the Halogen amperometric sensor to be equivalent to DPD instruments in ballasting and deballasting applications.

Halogen BWMS Certification Updates: In addition to DNV-GL Type Approval, Halogen’s TRO™ amperometric sensor now has Korean Register Type Approval (KRS). The *US Coast Guard * (USCG) also recently approved Halogen’s sensor for substitution for online DPD instruments without requiring additional TA testing. BWMS can now reduce operating costs and lower maintenance with this attractive alternative to DPD systems. OES PL 03-20 BWMS Alternate Components 10.14.2020
