Optimize the performance of your BWTS with services from Zeppelin Power Systems

Optimarin maintenance kits

Optimarin requires regular maintenance at 2.5-year intervals for your ballast water treatment system. We provide comprehensive maintenance kits with installation kit for this purpose. The maintenance can be carried out by the trained crew themselves or in cooperation with our service technicians worldwide.

Easy to carry out by the crew on board

Our comprehensive maintenance instructions and training programs ensure that the on-board crew can carry out the maintenance work themselves. This saves time and money and ensures that your system is always in optimum condition.

Advantages of regular maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures that your system functions optimally and meets the strict requirements of the IMO and USCG Ballast Water Convention.

Regular maintenance allows wear on parts to be identified and replaced at an early stage, which significantly extends the service life of your system.

Regular maintenance helps to avoid unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs, maximizing the availability of your system.

Regular maintenance documents the proper upkeep of your system and thus ensures compliance with legal regulations.

The US Coast Guard (USCG) requires an annual inspection for ballast water treatment systems (BWTS), the so-called Annual Check-Up or Annual Compliance Inspection. This inspection is required to ensure that the system complies with established standards and regulations to prevent the spread of invasive species in US waters.

Zeppelin Power Systems performs these check-ups and ensures that your system complies with regulations. You can order the check-up directly with us.

Services of the Annual Compliance Inspection

System function tests: Checking the function of all essential components of the BWTS, including filters, UV lamps, pumps and control systems.

Performance verification: Measurement and analysis of system performance to ensure that it effectively meets all requirements for the removal or inactivation of organisms in ballast water.

Monitoring and calibration: Checking the monitoring and measuring equipment and calibrating it to ensure accurate system performance data.

Documentation review: Review operational records and maintenance documentation to ensure that all required inspections, maintenance and repairs have been properly performed and documented.

Visual inspection: Perform a visual inspection of the entire system to detect signs of wear, damage or corrosion that could affect performance.

Safety check: Review all safety precautions and emergency procedures to ensure the system is operating safely and in accordance with regulations. A water test, which is also required, must be carried out by a certified laboratory on site.

UV lamp units: These play a crucial role in the disinfection process of ballast water treatment. Our UV lamps ensure effective disinfection and compliance with legal standards and regulations.

Pumps and valves: These important components are responsible for the flow control and distribution of ballast water in the BWTS. We offer comprehensive component repair kits to ensure consistent and effective operation of the system.

Monitoring and electrical components: Data on the performance and condition of the ballast water system is crucial and controls all processes during the cleaning operation. Our delivery portfolio includes all components from sensors and transmitters to control panels, software updates and the power supply for the UV lamps.

Tools and accessories: Special tools and accessories are important for the proper maintenance and repair of the BWTS and are part of the spare parts programme at Zeppelin Power Systems. 

Cleaning: Dirty quartz glass in the UV lamps reduces the disinfection performance and increases the time and energy required for ballast water treatment. CLEANING IN PLACE (CIP) is an Optimarin system that cleans the glass automatically and in an environmentally friendly manner as required. Zeppelin Power Systems also offers you comprehensive support with installation, service and spare parts.
