Ballast Water Treatment System – Turnkey Installations
What Is a Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS)?
A Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) ensures compliance with international regulations preventing the spread of invasive species and minimizing environmental impact. SYM Naval specializes in turnkey installations, providing a seamless solution to help vessels meet IMO and USCG standards.
To do this, we offer the design and installation of the Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) and other filtration solutions with a guarantee and trust, taking into account the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ballast Water.
How Does a Ballast Water Treatment System Work?
A Ballast Water Treatment System removes harmful organisms from ballast water before discharge. Common treatment methods include:
- Filtration & UV Treatment – Physically removing particles and using UV light to neutralize organisms.
- Electrochlorination – Using electrical currents to disinfect water.
- Chemical Treatment – Adding biocides to eliminate invasive species.
Each method ensures compliance with MARPOL Annex IV and the Ballast Water Management Convention.
