ballast water management system 

The Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) operates through a two-stage process: filtration and disinfection. When ballast water is taken on board, it first passes through a filtration system that removes larger particles, sediments, and marine organisms such as plankton and larvae. This step significantly reduces the number of biological contaminants before further treatment.

After filtration, the water undergoes disinfection to eliminate smaller microorganisms that may still be present. One common method is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which disrupts the DNA of microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. Another approach is electrochlorination, where an electrical current is applied to seawater, generating chlorine that effectively kills harmful organisms. Some systems use ozonation, introducing ozone gas that reacts with organic material and destroys microorganisms. In certain cases, chemical biocides are added to neutralize any remaining biological contaminants.

Once the water has been treated, it can either be stored in ballast tanks for later use or discharged safely into the sea without posing a risk to marine ecosystems. This process ensures compliance with international environmental regulations and helps prevent the spread of invasive species between different maritime regions.

The provided services include the comprehensive integration of Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS), tailored to the specific characteristics of the vessel and compliant with applicable classification requirements. The process begins with a ship inspection, during which detailed measurements and 3D scanning are conducted. Utilizing scanning technology allows for an accurate representation of the ship’s existing structures, which is crucial for the subsequent design phase.

Based on the collected data, a BWTS integration project is developed, focusing on integrating the structure of the existing onboard system with the ordered ballast water management system selected by the shipowner. This process takes into account all technical aspects of the system’s installation, identifies and resolves potential conflicts, and ensures full compliance with classification and operational requirements. Special attention is given to the optimal placement of system components to prevent interference with other onboard installations.

Once the design phase is completed, component prefabrication is carried out to minimize installation time on the vessel. This approach ensures that the system installation is efficient and reduces operational downtime. The assembly process is performed in accordance with the highest quality standards, guaranteeing the seamless integration of the BWTS and its trouble-free operation.

Additionally, full technical documentation is prepared to facilitate system approval by relevant classification institutions and ensure compliance with international ballast water management regulations. The entire process is conducted in close collaboration with the shipowner, allowing for customized solutions tailored to the vessel’s specific needs and the optimal implementation of the BWTS.
