Peracetic Acid (PAA) for Marine Wastewater Disinfection

Powerful. Eco-Friendly. IMO-Compliant

Peracetic Acid (PAA) is a highly effective, environmentally responsible disinfectant ideal for marine wastewater treatment systems. As a non chlorinated oxidizing agent, PAA offers broad-spectrum microbial control without the formation of harmful chlorinated byproducts, making it a preferred solution for vessels operating under IMO , MARPOL, MEPC.227(64) and other strict environmental regulations.

Benefits

CLEAN EFFLUENT

No toxic residuals – safe for marine discharge

ECO CONSCIOUS

Environmentally friendly – no trihalomethanes (THMs) or chlorinated compounds

RAPID PERFORMANCE

Fast acting and effective even in cold or variable-temperature systems

COMPLIANT

Helps meet global compliance standards without the risks of chlorine-based systems

How it Works

  • Acts as a powerful oxidizer, rapidly neutralizing bacteria, viruses, and pathogens
  • Decomposes into harmless byproducts: acetic acid, oxygen, and water
  • Effective over a wide PH range and in both fresh and saltwater systems
  • Requires lower contact times than traditional disinfectants like chlorine

Applications

  • Disinfection of treated effluent from Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs)
  • Offshore platforms, cargo ships, tankers, and ferries
  • Marine wastewater systems seeking a non-chlorine disinfection alternative
  • Systems operating in sensitive marine environments or restricted waters
