IMO Approvaled Ballast Water Treatment System
1.Treatment Technology of BWMS System
The treating process of BWMS is mainly consisted of the following three procedures:
Filtration ---The ballast water is filtrated by an automatic backwashing filter with 50µm screen to remove marine organisms larger than 50µm.
Disinfection --- A small side stream of the filtered ballast water is delivered to the electrolytic unit to generate the oxidants of high concentration (mainly sodium hypochlorite solution), then the oxidants are injected back into the main ballast stream to provide effective disinfection.
Sodium hypochlorite solution as a very effective germicide can be kept in ballast water for a certain period to effectively kill the plankton, spores, larvae and pathogens contained in the ballast water to meet D-2 standard.
Neutralization --- The residual TRO level of the treated ballast water below 0.1ppm, then the treated ballast water can be directly discharged. If the residual TRO level of the treated ballast water over 0.1ppm, neutralizer (sodium thiosulfate solution) is added into the de-ballast pipe to neutralize residual oxidants instantly automatically.
2. Disinfection principle¡ª¡ªCore technology
When seawater flows through the electrolyzer, decomposition reactions take place on the electrode surfaces, with chlorine produced at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode.
The reaction principle is as follows:
Anode: 2Cl- ¡ú Cl2 + 2e
Cathode: 2H2O + 2e ¡ú 2OH- + H2¡ü
Chlorine gas can be dissolved in water to produce hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid rapidly:
Cl2 + H2O ¡ú HOCl + Cl- + H+
So the whole reaction is:
NaCl + H2O ¡ú NaOCl + H2¡ü
Sodium hypochlorite solution as a very effective germicide can be kept in ballast water for a certain period to effectively kill the plankton, spores, larvae and pathogens contained in the ballast water. This technology has been widely practiced in water treatment industries like medical sterilization, water treatment fields for many years.

6. Neutralization Unit
Manual control mode and automatic control mode.
When TRO concentrations of the discharge ballast water lower than the IMO specified value, the system does not start. Neutralization Unit automatically and ballast water discharge outboard directly.
When TRO concentration of the discharge ballast water higher than the IMO specified value, the system start Neutralizer Unit automatically and inject the neutralization which could eliminate and neutralize the residual TRO. The flow of neutralization is controlled by the system automatically.
