The BWM Convention

 BWM CONVENTION AT A
GLANCE

September, 2017: The IMO Ballast Water Management Convention

entered into force
→ All ships must treat their ballast water so the ocean's biodiversity is preserved and micro-
organisms as well as pathogens are removed or rendered harmless before the ballast water is
released into a new location.

= A certified Ballast Water Treatment System before Sept 2024

For existing ships (over 400 GT), retrofit is to be conducted at next IOPP Certificate renewal
(and prior to 08 Sept. 2024).

 UV TECHNOLOGY FOR BWTS

Filter + UV treatment is the second most common technologies for Ballast Water Treatment Systems

UV systems are deemed relevant for any flowrate below 2000 m3/h +/-

Key advantages VS other technologies: lower CAPEX, cost effective installation, easy to operate, small
footprint and sustainable solution.

Market studies show about one third of the eligible vessels are not retrofitted yet, with a noticeable
prominence of medium/small size vessels.

 PERFORMANCE

High UV dose in order to cope at best with waters charged with particles or chemical residuals.

Illustrated by :

• Short holding times

IMO waters : 0 hrs all waters
US waters : 0 hrs fresh water / 17 hrs brakish / 24 hrs
(0 hrs all waters with Hydac filters)

• IMO Type Approval tests results

Show capability to handle waters down to 42% UV-Transmittance

Operation, Maintenance &
Spare Parts

23
 BIO-SEA SYSTEM
OPERATIONS

• Operation from Main Control Panel + Remote control panels in options

• All parameters (such as alarm levels) set at commissioning.

• Minimum integration : on/off position contacts with ballast pumps and by-pass valve.
Further, integration to AMS in option.

24
 BIO-SEA SYSTEM
OPERATIONS

Maintenance
General

• Scheduled Maintenance under one year is visual / tightening checks mainly.

Yearly mechanical checks : filter and UV reactor

• Sensors calibration is checked during the recommended annual audit

25
 BIO-SEA SYSTEM
OPERATIONS

Quartz Sleeve Cleaning

Quartz sleeve can be cleaned without dismounting the UV reactor thanks to the provided manual CIP
(cleaning in place) devise.

26
 BIO-SEA SYSTEM
OPERATIONS

Maintenance

• Expected lamps lifespan is 5000 hrs of operation.

• Manual indicates preventive renewal at 3000 hrs, but replacement is needed as per UV lamp wear
(performance loss not solved by cleaning or quartz sleeve renewal)

• It is recommended to keep one UV lamp (and one quartz sleeve) onboard as safety spare.

• UV reactor dismounting procedure is part of the one-day recommended crew training, done at
commissioning.
