Ballast operation OceanSaver BWTS Filtration Disinfection
Filtration 40 micron in-line screen filter, 99.5% efficiency Automatic self-cleaning Filter capacity up to 4.000 m 3 /h / filter Filter may be delivered for pump room installation with Ex protection Well proven technology developed for BWTS application
Flexible installation True in-line filtration Minimal disruption to existing pipework Low service space requirements Installed in any orientation Ex-Safe
Automatic self cleaning Self cleaning initiated when differential pressure between inlet and outlet reaches 0,38 bar During cleaning, filter remains in operation Each cleaning cycle takes 3 minutes The dirty water is pumped directly overboard by sludge pump After cleaning cycle is complete, the filter is fully recovered
Disinfection Oxidant produced onboard without consumables OceanSaver patented membrane cell technology Extremely efficient maximum level 2.5 ppm Rapid decay of TRO level half time 30 mins Generated oxidant: Hypobromeous species Dosage level self-adjusted by TRO sensors Disinfectant injected in main ballast water stream to kill organisms / phytoplankton
C2E Disinfectant skid 3.000 m 3 /h BWTS system
Patented membrane cell
De-ballast OceanSaver BWTS No treatment Gravity discharge
De-ballast operation No treatment required Only initial monitoring of TRO level Discharge by: Gravity Ballast pumps Stripping ejectors Stripping pump No power consumption
Principle layout bulk / LNG
Principle layout tanker with P/R
Retrofit Challenges related to retrofit of BWTS Mechanical (piping, location of equipment etc) Electro (el.supply, cabling, switch board) Automation (valve control, BWTS control) Installation (limited access space) Design (as build drawings / survey) ALL vessels are different, vessel specific design required Planning well in advance is a key!
Retrofitting OceanSaver OceanSaver have in-house expertise with extensive experience: Dedicated retrofit project group Partnership with design company for detail design Result: Optimized solution for each particular vessel Reduced pipe-rework No relocation of exisiting equipment
Communication is the key to success!
