Ecochlor, Inc. is the market leading provider of Chlorine Dioxide (“ClO2”)-based ballast water treatment systems (“BWTS”) for the $2.3B bulker / tanker market. Beginning in 2017, strin- gent standards will be enforced requiring ships to install approved BWTS to eliminate the transfer of invasive organisms (plants, animals, microbes, and algae), creating a massive market opportunity to provide systems to 54,000+ ships. Ecochlor’s ClO2 is the only com- pound proven to kill aquatic invasive species fast, at scale, and with 100% certainty. Eco- chlor has exclusive rights to ClO2 chemicals, making it impossible for an identical player to enter the space. Additionally, the small size, low power, and low maintenance characteristics of Ecochlor’s system make it the ideal system. These advantages well-position Ecochlor to capture the explosive growth of the market.
