A Review of Water Disinfection Technology to Determine Suitable Equipment for Use Onboard Boat for the Disinfection of Seawater

Summary

Supplies of clean water are essential for the industry to maintain high standards of hygiene and quality. This report is concerned with a review of water disinfection technology, carried out to identify equipment suitable for use at sea for seawater disinfection. The review considers the equipment required, the safety and the estimated costs associated with each treatment. Ionization, chlorination, UV and ozone were identified as being potentially suitable and warranting further investigation. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies.
