4 Plan the Work, Work the Plan

5 Plan the Work, Work the Plan Input needed from Vessel Drawings to start with General Arrangement - Capacity Plan - Ballast piping diagram - Machinery Arrangement in Engine Room (or Pump Room) 1. Analyze ballast piping diagram (number of pumps, APT feeding, overboard discharge lines) 2. Analyze available space on board / feasibility of installation (E/R, Weather Deck, Pump Room) 3. Analyze ballasting de-ballasting operational habits of the vessel to optimum proposal (ballasting on 1 or 2 pumps, gravity de-ballasting, actual capacity needed related to time) 4. Model selection / available configurations (space, ballasting capacity-1 pump-2 pumps- 75% of 2 pumps, redundancy of components) 5. Embed BWTS in vessels ballast piping diagram according to required operational habits 6. Place BWTS in the available space 7. Submit Detailed Documentation of the complete BWTS operation and components

6 Plan the Work, Work the Plan 8. Elaborate with ship owners and implement any extra modifications according to ship owners or yard requests 9. Finalize approval process / Class approval 10. Implement approved documentation to construction 11. Prefabrication / Preparation prior installation 12. Installation / Supervision 13. Commissioning 14. Training 15. Delivery to operation

7 BALLAST WATER TREATMENT = SEPARATION + DISINFECTION

8 BALLAST WATER TREATMENT STAGE 1: SEPARATION Get rid of the most living organisms at the same spot you are ballasting Various different types of filter and filtration degrees can be implemented. ERMA FIRST: Basket filters, specifically designed for ballast water, 40 μm mesh STAGE 2: DISINFECTION Eliminate the living organisms that have passed through stage 1 Various disinfection methods and means, like chlorine and other oxidants, UV, cavitation, etc ERMA FIRST: Full flow electrolysis for production of up to 6mg/Lt TRO

9 ERMA FIRST FIT BWT System ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS Stage Components Option 1 Filtersafe: 40 microns selfcleaning automatic screen filter Separation Option 2 Filtrex: 40 microns selfcleaning automatic screen filter Disinfection Advanced Technology Electrolysis Cells TRO Concentration 4-6 mg/l

10 Filtration High End Filtration o Screen: Sintered o Screen Material: SS316 or 904L o Filtration grade: >40 μm o Pressure Drop: bar o Min. pressure needed 1 bar o Capacity : 50 ~ 3,740 m³/h o Installation position: Vertical / Horizontal o Explosion proof type available o Uninterrupted operation under heavy sediment conditions

11 Electrolytic Cell Simplicity in Service o Full Flow Type o Specifically designed for marine applications o Low energy consumption o Negligible pressure loss o Small footprint o Vertical or horizontal installation o Electrodes lifetime exceed 5000 operational hrs o Fresh water operation according to IMO & USCG standards o Made in Sweden Sodium Hypochlorite (Chlorine) is produced at a max concentration of 6mg/Lit

12 Ballasting One way treatment

13 De-ballasting neutralization
