French UV-C water therapy professional BIO-UV Group stated it has actually obtained an order to provide a low-flow BIO-SEA L-Series ballast water therapy system (BWTS) for retrofit installment to the 1,268 GT exploration vessel Quest.
The 49-meter-long, 60-passenger ability vessel is the 5th guest ship running under Cruise Management International [CMI] to have actually defined a BWTS from BIO-SEA by BIO-UV Group companion TECO2030.
Maxime Dedeurwaerder, organization system supervisor, BIO-UV Group’s maritime department, stated, “This new order underscores the success of the partnership agreement we signed with TECO2030 in 2019. The BIO-SEA system fits perfectly with TECO2030’s ethos to supply environmentally sustainable, energy efficient technologies to the global shipping fleet.
“The environmental and energy efficiency of our UV-based treatment technology provides the optimum solution for expedition cruise ships operating in ecologically sensitive environments.”
Incorporating BIO-UV Group’s future generation UV-reactor, the ‘L’ variety is based around a totally brand-new type-approved UV light plan, the supplier stated. According to the business, the system is sized to ensure complete IMO and also USCG conformity, dealing with circulation prices of in between 20m3/h and also 120m3/h from a portable, reduced power eating BWTS.
The system retrofitted to Quest is modular to suit the minimal area readily available and also has 2 lights to deal with a ballast water circulation price of 55 m3/h.
“One lamp can treat ballast water flows of up to 30m3/h. A further one or two lamps can be added to the BWTS skid to deal with higher flow rates. This means reduced maintenance for the crew, fewer spare parts have to be kept onboard and as the automated UV sensors adapt to the quality of the water, energy consumption is better regulated, reducing energy consumption and preserving lamp life,” Dedeurwaerder stated.
