Description
The Aalborg Industries ballast water treatment technology AquaTriComb™ is highly efficient, and effectively disinfects water with high organism and sediment concentrations in compliance with the standards specified by the IMO BallastWater Convention.
Filtration The organisms and sediments are removed from the ballast water during the pretreatment phase using filters as first stage water treatment, removing sediments and larger organisms and to prevent an accumulation of sediments in the ballast tanks and to guarantee optimal disinfecting. The automatic cleaning action of the filter modules is brought about by fully automatic forced cleaning controlled by time and pressure.
Disinfection The secondary treatment is performed using the effect of UV radiation and ultrasound. Ultrasound guarantees an extremely effective and permanent cleaning of the UV lamps removing biofilms and deposits. The ultrasound works via micro cavitation. By using monochromatic UV-C radiation (254 nm), organisms and bacteria or phytoplankton are effectively eliminated. The combination of UV radiation, filtration and ultrasound ensures uniform disinfecting according to the D2 standard of the IMO Ballast Water Convention. Professional Maritime Solution All vessels with AquaTriComb™ on board will meet the recuirements of local port state controls.
