Ballast Water System

Ballast Water Management System Manufacturer | IMO & USCG Compliant BWMS Solutions for Global Shipping

The Global Challenge of Ballast Water Management

Each year, an estimated 3-5 billion tons of ballast water are transferred by ships worldwide, introducing invasive aquatic species into non-native environments. These organisms pose severe threats to marine ecosystems, local economies, and human health. While ballast water is essential for vessel stability and safety, its untreated discharge has been identified as one of the four major sources of global ocean pollution.

In response, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (2004), requiring vessels to install approved ballast water treatment systems based on their ballast capacity and construction year.

Advanced UV-Based Ballast Water Treatment System

Our Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) employs enhanced physical treatment technologies—including hydrocyclone separation, ultrasonic pretreatment, and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection—to effectively eliminate aquatic pathogens and invasive species without chemicals. This pure physical treatment process ensures instant, compliant ballast water discharge that meets both IMO D-2 and USCG standards.

Key Advantages of Our UV Ballast Water Treatment System

✅ Compared to Chemical Treatment Systems:

100% Chemical-Free: No addition of disinfectants or generation of hazardous gases (H₂/Cl₂)
No Toxic Byproducts: Eliminates risks of residual oxidants, protecting crew and vessel structures
Immediate Treatment & Discharge: No holding time required; operates independently of salinity and water quality
Simplified Compliance: No post-discharge neutralization or residual concentration testing needed
Lower Operational Costs: Reduced maintenance, consumables, and operational complexity
