UV Ballast Water Management System

UV Ballast Water Management System | USCG & IMO Approved | Chemical-Free BWMS for Marine Vessels

Product Overview
Our UV Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) is an advanced, environmentally responsible solution designed to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species through ships’ ballast water. Utilizing proven medium-pressure ultraviolet disinfection technology, this system offers a safe, chemical-free method for treating ballast water that protects marine ecosystems without risking crew health or vessel safety. Certified by major international classification societies, it provides reliable compliance with IMO and USCG regulations across all sailing routes and water conditions.

System Operating Principles

Ballasting Process:

Ballast water enters through automatic filter, removing particles >40 microns
Filtered water passes through MPUV reactor for instant disinfection
UV-C radiation at 200-280nm wavelength destroys organisms’ DNA
Treated water flows to ballast tanks without sediment accumulation

De-ballasting Process:

Ballast water bypasses filter and flows directly to UV reactor
Secondary UV disinfection prevents regrowth during storage
Compliant discharge without environmental impact

Factors Affecting BWMS Selection

Vessel-Specific Considerations:

Large Bulk Carriers & Tankers: Require high-capacity systems for rapid ballasting/deballasting
Special Purpose Vessels: Must meet strict fire and explosion safety requirements
All Vessel Types: Chemical-free operation eliminates storage and handling risks

Route-Specific Considerations:

Variable Water Conditions: UV performance unaffected by salinity or temperature changes
High Turbidity Waters: Automatic filtration ensures consistent UV transmission
Stringent Port Requirements: Adjustable UV dosage meets higher local standards
Regional Routes: Immediate treatment eliminates holding time requirements
