The Aalborg Industries ballast water treatment
technology AquaTriComb™ is highly
efficient, and effectively disinfects water
with high organism and sediment concentrations
compliant with the standards specified
by the IMO BallastWater Convention.
Filtration
The organisms and sediments are removed
from the ballast water during the pretreatment
phase using filters as first stage
water treatment, removing sediments and
larger organisms and to prevent an accumulation
of sediments in the ballast tanks
and to guarantee optimal disinfecting.
The automatic cleaning action of the filter
modules is brought about by fully automatic
forced cleaning controlled by time and
pressure.
Disinfection
The secondary treatment is performed
using the effect of UV radiation and ultrasound.
Ultrasound guarantees an extremely
effective and permanent cleaning of the
UV lamps removing biofilms and deposits.
The ultrasound works via micro cavitation.
By using monochromatic UV-C radiation
(254 nm), organisms and bacteria or phytoplankton
are effectively eliminated.
The combination of UV radiation, filtration
and ultrasound ensures uniform disinfecting
according to the D2 standard of the
IMO Ballast Water Convention.
Professional Maritime Solution
All vessels with AquaTriComb™ on board
will meet the requirements of local port
state controls.
