OceanGuard^® BWMS

Components

	Control Unit Control Unit is responsible for regulating the entire system including collection of various signals from the sensors, Management of alarm signals and controls of system startup and shutdown. It contains all procedures for the system operation, displays the system working condition, including the working condition of various parts as well as data and status reported by real time inspection from various sensors.
	Filter OceanGuard® adopts full auto-back flushing filter, which can realize the simultaneous operation of filtration and back flush. The filtration precision is 50μm. It can remove organisms larger than 50μm in ballast water to prevent micro organisms and sediments entering ballast tank.
	Filter Treatment Capacity：100m3/h—5000m3/h. Filtration Precision：50 μm Automatic back-flush Low input pressure Flexible for retrofit
	EUT EUT Unit is the core of OceanGuard® BWMS. Each single unit has the treatment capacity from 100-3000m3/h. The Unit comprises of two parts: Electrocatalysis Unit and Ultrasound Unit. The Electrocatalysis Unit is able to produce large numbers of hydroxyl radicals and other highly active oxidizing substances to kill all organisms in ballast water within several nanoseconds. The whole sterilization process is completed inside the EUT Unit. During the treatment process, the Ultrasound Unit can clean the surface of Electrocatalysis Unit regularly to keep the long-term treatment effectiveness of the electrocatalysis material.

Advantages of OceanGuard^®

【Technology of Advanced Electrocatalysis Oxidation Process (AEOP)】

Hydroxyl radicals produced in the process of Management by AEOP technology will disappear after several nanoseconds. These radicals have high sterilization efficiency, which are able to kill different bacteria, viruses, algae and dormant ovum in ballast water effectively (broad spectrum sterilization) in a chained mode. The sterilization process can be completed within EUT Unit. The concentration of TRO (total residual oxidation) can be controlled within 2ppm, so that the TRO can carry out advanced Management on the water in ballast tanks.

【No corrosion to Ships】

Hydroxyl radicals produced by OceanGuard^® Ballast Water Management System will disappear after several nanoseconds. The whole sterilization Management is completed within EUT Unit. Through the Management, TRO concentration is within 2ppm. According to results of long-term operation, the system is proved to be safe and reliable, and water treated by OceanGuard™ causes no corrosion to the hull.

【Satisfy Requirements】

Fully meet IMO regulation and California requirement.

【Compact Design; High-Quality Spares】

Compact design, small footprint, easy installation and maintenance free. OceanGuard^®  BWMS can be fitted on various vessels with different internal structures. High-quality materials and spare parts with long lifespan are used for all the components.

【Wide Scope of Application】

OceanGuard^® BWMS shows excellent performance in fresh water and sea water. The discharged treated ballast water has no any harm to the environment in the surrounding waters.

【Energy-saving】

Low operating costs. Energy consumption is only appr. 17KW for the treatment of 1000 m³ of ballast water.

【Explosion-proof】

OceanGuard^®  obtained Explosion-proof Certificate, which can be fitted in the pump room of oil tanker, liquid gas carrier, etc.

【Single Treatment】

The whole process only needs the inflow treatment rather than the discharge treatment, so that it is proper for all the vessel ballast water discharge systems.

Cases

Global Threat

Shipping moves over 80% of the world’s commodities and transfers approximately 3 to 5 billion tonnes of ballast water internationally each year.

Ballast water is absolutely essential to the safe and efficient operation of modern shipping, providing balance and stability to un-laden ships. However, it may also pose serious threats to ecology, economy and health.

There are thousands of marine species that may be carried in ships’ ballast water,
basically anything that is small enough to pass through a ship’s ballast water intake
ports and pumps. If these organisms survive transport to other parts of the globe, their impact can be devastating. Such invasions can jeopardize the local ecosystem, and even pose threats to human health. Usually, their effects are irreversible.

The introduction of invasive marine species into new environments by ships’ ballast water, attached to ships’ hulls and via other vectors has been identified as one of the four greatest threats to the world’s oceans. In 2004, IMO adopted the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, which will phase in requirements for ballast water treatment over the coming years.

Regulation

The IMO Regulations

IMO regulations will not affect all ships in the same way. Ballast water treatment will be phased in, with requirements for different ships arriving at different times.

D-2 Regulation

In International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, the following D-2 Regulation is addressed regarding management of ballast water.

The Tier III NOx emission regulation which is ruled by International Maritime Organization（IMO) is going to be put into force from Jan. 1st 2016 in emission control area (ECA). The area out of ECA still adopt Tier II

SCR system has been generally recognized as the most effective solution to reduce the NOx emission, of which efficiency can be up to 90%.

Selective Reduction (SCR) is an exhaust gas aftertreatment method bywhich the NOx generated in a marine diesel engine can be reduced to a level in compliance with the NOx Tier III requirements.

The process of NOx reduction is as follows: Appropriate amount of ammonia source as reducing agent (normally in the form of aqueous urea）i5 injected into the exhaust gas. Subsequently the ammonia/exhaust gas mixture passes through catalyst block installed in the reactor, where the NOx is converted to nitrogen and water vapor.

l Aqueous Urea, 40% Wt: CO(NH2)2 + H2O

l Aqueous Urea decomposes to ammonia: CO(NH2)2 + H2O → NH3 + CO2

l Reaction between NOx and ammonia: NOx + NH3 + O2 → N2 + H2O

About

Developed initially for the United States Army, Bluezone® is a unique, patented, air cleaning technology that strips microbes, ethylene, hydrocarbons, odors and other contaminants from the atmosphere.

Its positive effect on produce quality and storage life has been demonstrated in transport containers, walk-in refrigerators, reach-in refrigerators and general produce storage areas.

For many years the world’s largest shipping, defense force and commercial organizations have relied on Bluezone® Technology to maximize produce quality globally. Domestically it is now also used by some of maritime and Chinese leading producers, wholesalers and growers.

Patented Techology

Bluezone^® is the Highest Performance Ethylene and Mold Removal Technology on the market.

Bluezone^® technology removes the decay producing, chemical and microbial agents from the air without introducing any chemicals or gases to the FF&V storage space.

It works by oxidizing ethylene into carbon dioxide and water vapor.  The ultraviolet light destroys airborne microbes, spores and fungus. Using ultraviolet light is clean, effective and very low maintenance.

Bluezone Technology eliminates Mold, Bacteria, Odors, Flavor Transfer, and the Ethylene that cause over-ripening in Fruits and Vegetables using patented technology.

An analysis of the cost of FF&V losses and the price of the Bluezone^® products demonstrates that Bluezone® will pay for itself in the first few months of service. Users profit from an extraordinary rate of return and an improvement in shelf life.
