MOSCOW (MRC) -- TeamTec AS and Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH have signed a cooperation agreement for the marketing of AVITALIS Ballast Water Treatment System (AVITALIS), said Evonik in its press release.
AVITALIS is a fully automated system for the disinfection of ballast water aboard of ships. AVITALIS utilizes the highly efficacious and biologically degradable PERACLEAN Ocean, which has been specifically developed for the treatment of ballast water.
Within the cooperation with Evonik, TeamTec takes over the global responsibility for the manufacture, sales and service of AVITALIS. Evonik with its global presence and established supply chains for specialty chemicals ensures the supply of the customers with PERACLEAN Ocean as well as the further development of the technology.
TeamTec is a globally leading supplier of waste incinerators and stripping ejectors for the use aboard of ships. Beyond this, TeamTec’s parent company IMS Group is a market leader in watertight ship doors.
"In TeamTec as a globally leading supplier of maritime specialty equipment we have found the ideal partner for the marketing of AVITALIS. With its broad market access and production know how for specialty components for the ship industry, TeamTec perfectly complements our own technology competencies", explains Michael Traxler, head of the Business Line Active Oxygens of Evonik.
Olav Voie, CEO of TeamTec emphasizes: "AVITALIS is the ideal addition to our maritime product portfolio. With AVITALIS, we are now able to also offer our customers a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for the treatment of ballast water. We are very much looking forward to the cooperation with Evonik, a leading company in specialty chemicals and in the field of ballast water treatment".
As MRC informed before, in June 2015, Evonik and Brenntag agreed to cooperate on hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid for pharma and cosmetics markets. Evonik Industries introduced new hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid grades for drug, medical products, and cosmetics manufacturers in response to increasingly more stringent regulatory requirements in these close-to-consumer industry segments. In Europe, customers will receive tailored solutions, enabling them to provide end consumers with safe and fully certified products.
Evonik, the creative industrial group from Germany, is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals. Its activities focus on the key megatrends health, nutrition, resource efficiency and globalization. Evonik benefits specifically from its innovative prowess and integrated technology platforms. Evonik is active in over 100 countries around the world.
