Technology of Advanced Electrocatalysis Oxidation Process (AEOP) – Hydroxyl radicals produced by AEOP technology disappear within nanoseconds. They have high sterilization efficiency, which is able to kill different bacteria, viruses, algae and dormant ovum in ballast water effectively (broad spectrum sterilization). The sterilization process is completed in the EUT unit. The concentration of TRO (total residual oxidants) can be controlled within 2ppm, so that the TRO can carry out advanced treatment of the water in the ballast tanks.
No corrosion to Ships – According to long-term operation results, the system is proved to be safe and reliable, and water treated by BWMS causes no corrosion to the ballast tanks.
Energy-saving – Low operating costs. Energy consumption is only approximately 17kW for the treatment of 1000 m3 of ballast water.
Explosion-proof – Electro-Catalytic Oxidation Technology Ballast Water Management Systems can be producedc explosion, in order to be fitted in the pump room.
Single Treatment – The whole treatment process is completed during ballasting and thus no treatment is needed during deballasting.
UV treatment of ballast water
Ballast water is used by large ships to provide stability.
However, ballast water contains small organisms such as plankton, aquatic invertebrates, fish larvae and pathogens which are imported into foreign ecosystems. To preserve the biological and ecological equilibrium and recently imposed regulations, it is therefore necessary for vessel operators to keep this water free from organisms such as bacteria and pathogens.
Water treatment with intensive UV light is an environmentally-friendly treatment method.
UV treatment of ballast water
The special light sterilizes the water in the ballast water tanks. In the UVC range, a wavelength of 254 nanometers destroys the DNA of the bacteria and pathogens making them inactive, and thus prevents them from reproducing.
For this process, Noblelight develops and manufactures special UV lamps and complete modules and power supplies for integration into modern ballast water treatment systems.
The standards for clean ballast water defined by the IMO, helps stem the introduction of invasive aquatic organisms. With the 2017 ratification of IMO regulations, environmentally compatible treatment systems for ballast water will soon be mandatory on all maritime vessels operating in international waters that discharge ballast water.
