Ballast Water Treatment Systems Performance Analysis & Review

ERMA FIRST Umar Shipping Ballast Water

ERMA FIRST, after 13 years of developing cutting edge BWTS solutions, has set the standard for effective ballast water treatment with superior operational readiness, build quality and ease of use. The key to ERMA FIRST’s success is the operational flexibility that our Ballast Water Treatment System delivers to shipowners, installation and operation on all types of vessels. This flexibility allows unrestricted trading under any given conditions regardless of the water’s salinity, temperature and turbidity levels.

AN OUTLINE OF THE RESULTS:

• Filtration is key to compliance.

UV design limitations, a practical and operational constraint.

• Side-stream EC systems deliver compliance at the cost of installation and operational complexity.
