Ballast water compliance testing equipment development cooperation
MicroWISE and KC Denmark, after close collaboration during the development of our BallastWISE Filtration Unit, released in 2021, have announced a new partnership. KC Denmark will be responsible for the assembly and production of MicroWISE’s patented BallastWISE test instruments and filtration units.
KC Denmark is a company specialising in maritime sampling equipment.
“It’s a pleasure to work with MicroWISE, as they have the skills and resources to develop trend-setting technology which is urgently needed on the market due to upcoming legislations. We have experienced this during our cooperation over the past 4 years in the joint development of BallastWISE Inline.” Lars Christensen, KC Denmark
