On February 15, 2016, TeamTec AS and Evonik Resource Efficiency GmbH have signed a cooperation agreement for the marketing of AVITALISTM Ballast Water Treatment System (AVITALISTM).

AVITALISTM is a fully automated system for the disinfection of ballast water aboard of ships. AVITALISTM 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 AVITALISTM.
