Ballast Water Management System
SUNRUI BalClor BWMS
The ballast water management system has three main steps: filtration, disinfection using seawater electrolysis, and neutralization.
Filtration: As the ship takes in water, it passes through a special filter that automatically cleans itself. This filter catches most of the tiny sea creatures and solid bits in the water.
Disinfection: Some of the filtered seawater goes through an electrolyzer. Here, a special process creates a substance called sodium hypochlorite, which is like a powerful disinfectant. This disinfectant gets rid of any tiny organisms left in the water, making sure it meets strict cleanliness standards.
Neutralization: Before the water is released back into the sea, it’s checked to make sure it’s safe. If there’s too much leftover disinfectant, a system kicks in to balance it out. This ensures that the water going back into the ocean is just right.
