High-quality products from Optimarin for effective ballast water treatment

In our ballast water treatment system, the filter plays a crucial role in removing particles from seawater during the ballast or stripping processes. The filter fabric effectively captures larger particles and prevents them from entering the system.

Key Features of Our Filter Technology

Our filter is designed to remove larger particles and organisms from seawater, ensuring optimal water quality.

Minimal pressure loss: With a pressure loss of only 0.1 to 0.5 BAR, our filter ensures efficient flow rates without significant energy consumption.

Bypass function: During ballast water discharge, the filter is intelligently bypassed, allowing for smooth and quick water discharge.

Automatic self-cleaning: Our filter is equipped with an automatic self-cleaning function. By reversing the flow direction and backflushing untreated water into the sea, continuous filter performance is ensured.

Filter types

Optimarin uses high-quality filters in their ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) to ensure the efficiency and reliability of particle removal from seawater:

Filtrex Filters: A basket-type filter that can filter particles down to a size of 20 microns. This filter is known for its high filtration efficiency and robustness.

Our systems use strong UV light to efficiently eliminate organisms in ballast water. Each chamber treats up to 167 m³/h of water. By installing the chambers in parallel, virtually unlimited capacities are possible, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance.

Key Features of Our UV Technology

• High-performance UV lamps efficiently inactivate organisms, bacteria, and pathogens in ballast water, ensuring excellent treatment results.
• Das The system consists of one or more UV chambers installed in parallel. Each chamber is made from a single CuNi Fer 90/10 DN150 pipe with a robust wall thickness of 3 mm.
• Each UV chamber can effectively treat up to 167 m³/h of ballast water, thanks to the implementation of a high-performance UV lamp. With a maximum UV lamp power of 35 kW, our system delivers exceptional performance.
• The chambers are equipped with UV and temperature sensors to ensure precise monitoring and control, enabling real-time data acquisition and adjustments.
• Our system utilizes a standardized UV chamber design, which can be installed in parallel on a single rack. This configuration allows for higher flow rates and enhances the scalability of the system..
• Our UV system is designed for minimal maintenance requirements and ease of operation. It does not require chemical cleaning and has no moving parts, ensuring hassle-free usage.
• Each chamber can handle a maximum flow rate of 167 m³/h in all modes, ensuring efficient treatment performance.
• In IMO mode, no holding time is required, allowing continuous flow and operation. In USCG mode, the holding time is reduced to 24 hours.
