ROCHEM CHLORINATING TABLETS

 

 

The discharge of raw sewage into the sea can create a health hazard, while in coastal areas, sewage can also lead to oxygen depletion and an obvious visual pollution - a major problem for countries with large tourist industries.

 

MARPOL 73/78, Annex IV prohibits the discharge of sewage into the sea, except when the ship has in operation an approved sewage treatment plant or is discharging comminuted and disinfected sewage using an approved system at a distance of more than three nautical miles from the nearest land; or is discharging sewage which is not comminuted or disinfected at a distance of more than 12 nautical miles from the nearest land.

 

ROCHEM CHLORINATING TABLETS are 3” in diameter, each 200 gm tablet contains 180 gm available chlorine and are slow dissolving to have the sanitizing power of 90% available chlorine.   Each tablet has powerful disinfecting, deodorizing and germicidal properties developed specifically for sewage affluent treatment prior overboard discharge in compliance with MARPOL 73/78, Annex IV.
