Pollution caused by discharge of ship's ballast water has been confirmed as one of the four major pollution sources to the world oceans. UV disinfection has become one of the most mature, reliable, effective pure physical methods for ship's ballast water disinfection.

For the ship's ballast water our expert designs enhanced physical technology (EPT) including hydrocyclone separation filter + ultrasonic wave pre-treatment + UV reactor disinfection, uses powerful function to rapidly treat ballast water, so as to complete the ballast and discharge during loading and unloading, the treated ballast water discharged following treatment completely

meets the requirement of International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The biggest worry for ship owners — —Filter clogging problem

The size of sieve in the filter of all ballast water treatment device is 20-50μm, less than the diameter of hair, therefore, the clogging problem is a trouble to all users.
Filamentous, flocculent or trichosporon kinds marine microbe easily cling to a gap between protective mesh and filter screen, it causes terrible inconvenience during back flushing.
In case ship's draft line is deep, a lot of mud and sand will be sucked from sea chest, it would clog the filter.
This kind of a minute and fine filter brings big resistance to water flow, and it requires very high pressure to discharge water through the filter, which causes great pressure loss of ballast water pipe and great equipment pressure loss.
