Ship Ballast Water Treatment Quat Testing

Reliable 10,000 ppm quaternary ammonium test strips for verifying ship ballast water treatments. Fast, accurate results for IMO/USCG compliance monitoring in maritime operations.

Ship ballast water management is a global regulatory requirement to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species. Many vessels use quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs, or quats) as part of their disinfection protocols. To ensure treatment effectiveness and regulatory compliance, operators need a simple way to measure quat levels in ballast water tanks and discharge. Indigo® 10,000 ppm quat test strips provide fast, accurate, and field-ready results.

These strips help ship operators, port authorities, and marine inspectors verify disinfection concentrations, monitor ballast water treatment system performance, and support compliance with IMO Ballast Water Management Convention and U.S. Coast Guard standards.
