Ballast Water Treatment
The IMO convention sets strict guidelines for ballast water management systems: they may not harm the environment, substances used must be biodegradable and they may not present any kind of additional risk to humans, the environment or the ship.

With the GEA BallastMaster marineX, it is very simple to ensure that there is only water in your ballast tanks – with no harmful organisms such as plankton, bacteria or viruses. Everything beneath the waves is under control, so you don’t have to worry about it. This reliable system combines pre-filtration and UV-C. It doesn’t need any chemical substances or generate any hazardous by-products. It uses a low pressure UV treatment, which is energy-efficient and requires no cooling.
