Ballast water treatment with
GEA Westfalia Separator BallastMaster
The solution for every size of ship and customer requirement
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.
GEA Westfalia Separator BallastMaster:
two key technologies for ballast water treatment
In order to satisfy every detail of respective customer requirements and to enable completely neutral compliance, GEA Westfalia Separator Group has both common solutions for ballast water management in its range:
Both reliably meet the IMO standards.
Whilst BallastMaster ecoP is essentially based on the technical process of electrolysis, BallastMaster ultraV relies on a combination of UV-C and ultrasonic technology.
Everything from a single source guarantees process-neutral consultation focused solely on customer benefit
With both the leading key technologies for ballast water management in their portfolio, the process specialists from GEA Westfalia Separator Group can give absolutely system-neutral advice. For customers, this means the best possible, customized solutions in accordance with objective criteria. This is because actual requirements which differ from ship to ship –type, size and volume of ballast water and the shipowner‘s specifications -make the benefits of both system variants attractive in different ways. The advantage here is that the detailed process solution can be worked out in close collaboration to combine maximum efficiency and optimum handling with maximum economy.
Modular system or compact unit:
the right solution for every ship performance
ecoP and ultraV, the two variants of the BallastMaster ballast water management system, are also perfect for retrofitting seagoing vessels of an enormous variety of types and sizes.
Selection of the right system depends on the design of the ship and on technical and economic specifications. GEA Westfalia Separator Group supports its customers all over the world, not only in selecting and planning the right ballast water management system, but also in selecting the competent partner to complete the installation rapidly and economically. This prevents long stays in shipyards, minimizing unavailability for charter.
