Zusammenfassung:A method for managing ballast tank circulation system comprising a means for adding one or more halogens in controlled amounts to the water within the ballast tank. Test streams of water from the ballast tank can be analyzed to determine the level of halogens in the test stream to provide a halogen content signal. A controller receives the signal and compares the signal to a set point indicative of the level of halogen desired within the ballast tank to maintain, increase, or decrease the amount of chemical added to the water within the ballast tank in controlled amounts.
