The present invention is a system and technique for the electromagnetic heating of ballast water to kill unwanted organisms. More specifically, the invention is based on a novel applicator design that is easily installed on ships or used in ports. It incorporates an array of channels that simultaneously heat, by electromagnetic means, and convey the water from storage, or into storage tanks. The applicator is basically a large hollow metal pipe containing open ended wave guide-like structures for water conveyance and heating.
