Hyde Marine, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Calgon Carbon Corporation (NYSE: CCC), announced today that it has established two partnership agreements for engineering and installation of the chemical free Hyde GUARDIAN Gold™ Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) System  -- both domestically and internationally, the Corp. said in a press release.
