February 2006 29 Clean Water Tech BalPure Ballast Water Treatment System Severn Trent De Nora introduced the BalPure ballast water treatment system, a patent-pending system that generates biocides, meters and analyzes the resid- ual level of both biocides and neutraliz- ing agents and logs the performance of the overall ballast water treatment sys- tem. Third party testing of the BalPure system reportedly confirmed effluent quality that meets proposed IMO ballast water standards. Through the oxidation of the halide ions in seawater, the pro- prietary BalPure electrolyzer generates oxidants that are injected into the ballast stream where they react with both inor- ganic and organic matter, as well as bac- teria, to provide effective disinfection. As the organisms are inactivated or destroyed, the oxidant concentration in the ballast water is reduced. The BalPure system then introduces a neu- tralizing agent to the ballast water, where it reacts with residual oxidant, rendering the water safe to discharge into waterways.

OSG Ship Management Ltd. is reportedly the first tanker operator in the world to have achieved the Lloyd's Register notation for its entire fleet. Ensolve Wins Navy Deal EnSolve Biosystems won a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract by the U.S. Navy to develop a prototype Portable Oil Remediation System (PORS) for removal of hydro- carbons, organic contaminants, and trace metals normally found on inactive vessels. EnSolve will design, build and test a prototype system that can be used to clean the wash water to regulatory acceptable levels required for overboard effluent discharge. The system will be based on EnSolve's patented biotechnol- ogy process, which uses naturally occur- ring microbes to consume oil, grease, fuels and other hydrocarbon-based wastes. Ultra-Sep Finds Success Designed and manufactured by Coffin World Water Systems (CWWS), Ultra- Sep Bilge Water Separators were the first systems in the world certified by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to the standards of IMO's new resolution MEPC.107(49). USCG certificates of approval issued to all eight available Ultra-Sep models. Some Ultra-Sep advantages include: • U.S. Coast Guard certification for all eight models to MEPC.107(49) - the first achieved by any manufacturer Reduce oil content to less than 5 ppm Manual or automatic operation Continuous ops;no manual cleaning Proven reliability Long lasting membranes No chemical or biological sludge Low operating costs Low maintenance operation Easy, economical installation Compact design, small footprint Global support for parts and service Circle 39 on Reader Service Card Circle 234 on Reader Service Card Circle 219 on Reader Service Card SBA Interior Ltd, sba@sba.fi , phone +358 19 32771, fax +358 19 3277 277, www.sba.fi Hoistable pullman bed B-15 panelling Now available • A-60 lightweight bulkhead, only 50 mm thick • wide B-15 lining up to 1150 mm Also, of course • JMC 1 wall and ceiling panels • JMC 1 inspection doors • extension screens • stainless steel lining • pullman beds, hoistable beds, sofa beds, and fi xed beds for passenger and crew cabins SBA products are sailing on board • Freedom of the Seas • Galaxy • Pride of America • Flamenco • Color Fantasy • Carnival Miracle • AIDAaura and many others.
