As Blue Octobus, we will present and introduce you the information about the Ballast Water Treatment System, which has been accepted by IMO in order to protect the ecology in the sea much better. In this content, we will provide you with information about the working principle of the Ballast water treatment system, the effective date of the system, as well as the process within which the equipment used in the system will be processed.
About the Ballast Water Treatment System
In this system, which emerged with the aim of preventing ship-borne pollution in the sea, controlling and reducing pollution, it is aimed to transport different organisms in the waters in the seas with ballast operations on ships and to prevent ecological confusion. Would you like to take a closer look at the working principle of the Ballast Water Treatment System accepted by IMO MEPC?
This system consists of the functions of the water treatment system and the combination of different filtering systems. As Blue Octopus, you can examine all the equipment included in the working principle within the scope of the information we have presented to you on our site and have information about them. These equipments will be sufficient for a perfect separation.
Monitor/Displays
It is the equipment that can be found in a fixed or mobile form in order to make the separation of all substances in the water of the ballast more effective and to ensure the ease of use.
Hydrocyclone
It is also known as a separation method, which is very effective in the system. With the effect of the centrifuge, it allows easy separation of the large runners the ballast water.
Coagulation
Although it does not seem possible to separate the small parts in terms of size in the physical separation methods within the working principle of the ballast water treatment system, the coagulation method is preferred, making it possible to separate these small, small parts the ballast water.
Media Filtering
Media filtration is one of the most commonly preferred methods on board. In this filtering method, solid separation technique is used.
Magnetic Field Filtering
It is used with the coagulation method mentioned above. It works depending on the principle that the magnetic deposits stay stuck in this area while the liquid passes through a magnetic angle.
Chemical Removal
At the same time, it is a system used for the purpose of interfering with the bacteria named Biosite and the unwanted creatures in the ballast water. Marine organisms are inactivated.
Ultra Violet Removal Units
It is a tube resembling ultraviolet lights that the ballast waters in these units pass through. While the ballast water passes through the tube, it is aimed to make the organic substances in the water the most harmless.
Deoxygeneration Systems
In order to minimize the amount of oxygen in the water, this system that puts an end to the life in the water is called "Deoxygeneration Systems".
Heat Removal Units
It is called the heating technique that is sufficient to kill almost every bacteria in the ship's ballast water. With this process, an external heating system can be taken, but this system may cause corrosion in the ship's ballast tanks.
Acoustic-Cavitation Units
These units are preferred for the destruction of the cells in the water in the ballast water tanks.
Electrical Wave/Wave Plasma Units
Finally, this technology offered to you is trying to adapt to the new development. Thanks to the sudden increase in energy, it destroys the micro organisms in the ballast water and aims to clean the ballast water.
