Ballast Water Management System
|
OceanGuard™ Ballast Water Management System Shipping moves over 80% of the world's commodities and transfers approximately 3 to 5 billion tonnes of ballast water internationally each year. Ballast water is absolutely essential to the safe and efficient operation of modern shipping, providing balance and stability to un-laden ships. However, it may also pose serious threats to ecology, economy and health. There are thousands of marine species that may be carried in ships' ballast water, basically anything that is small enough to pass through a ship's ballast water intake ports and pumps. If these organisms survive transport to other parts of the globe, their impact can be devastating. Such invasions can jeopardize the local ecosystem, and even pose threats to human health. Usually, their effects are irreversible. The introduction of invasive marine species into new environments by ships' ballast water, attached to ships' hulls and via other vectors has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world's oceans. In 2004, IMO adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, which will phase in requirements for ballast water treatment over the coming years.
OceanGuard™ BWMS is developed by Headway Technology Co., Ltd. together with Harbin Engineering University. Its unique structure and reasonable design, stabilizes vessels during the drainage of Ballast Water, and poses no threat to marine life in surrounding waters thus protecting the marine ecology. Advantages of OceanGuard™ 【Technology of Advanced Electrocatalysis Oxidation Process (AEOP)】
Hydroxyl radicals produced in the process of Management by AEOP technology will disappear after several nanoseconds. These radicals have high sterilization efficiency, which are able to kill different bacteria, viruses, algae and dormant ovum in ballast water effectively (broad spectrum sterilization) in a chained mode. The sterilization process can be completed within EUT Unit. The concentration of TRO (total residual oxidation) can be controlled within 2ppm, so that the TRO can carry out advanced Management on the water in ballast tanks.
【No corrosion to Ships】
Hydroxyl radicals produced by OceanGuard™Ballast Water Management System will disappear after several nanoseconds. The whole sterilization Management is completed within EUT Unit. Through the Management, TRO concentration is within 2ppm. According to results of long-term operation, the system is proved to be safe and reliable, and water treated by OceanGuard™ causes no corrosion to the hull.
【Satisfy Requirements】 Fully meet IMO regulation and California requirement. 【Compact Design; High-Quality Spares】 Compact design, small footprint, easy installation and maintenance free. OceanGuard™ BWMS can be fitted on various vessels with different internal structures. High-quality materials and spare parts with long lifespan are used for all the components. 【Wide Scope of Application】 OceanGuard™ BWMS shows excellent performance in fresh water and sea water. The discharged treated ballast water has no any harm to the environment in the surrounding waters. 【Energy-saving】 Low operating costs. Energy consumption is only appr. 17KW for the treatment of 1000 m3 of ballast water. 【Explosion-proof】 OceanGuard™ obtained Explosion-proof Certificate, which can be fitted in the pump room of oil tanker, liquid gas carrier, etc. 【Single Treatment】 The whole process only needs the inflow treatment rather than the discharge treatment, so that it is proper for all the vessel ballast water discharge systems |
