In the G8 and G9 approval tests for ballast water management systems, organic carbon additives are frequently supplemented into test water to satisfy the water quality requirements. Because organic additives can affect the approval test, the additive selected, and its use and validation should be included in the test report. This study assessed the effects of organic carbon additives on the concentration of total residual oxidants (TROs) and the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). The concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in test water containing additives varied depending on the type of additive, but all additives, except for methylcellulose, had concentrations similar to or higher than the theoretical values. There was a low concentration of particulate organic carbon (POC) compared to the amount of corn starch added. Over the course of the five-day holding time, TRO concentrations tended to decrease. In general, substances with a large molecular size had a higher DBP concentration than their counterparts with a smaller molecular size, some of which, however produced the highest DBP concentrations due to their molecular structure. The results suggest that the formation of DBPs is affected by the reaction with TROs, molecular size, and molecular structure in a complex manner.
