BIO-UV Group stated Thursday it had obtained a serious order to provide its BIO-SEA ballast water remedy system to a pair of drillships scheduled to enter an undisclosed operator’s offshore drilling rig fleet.
According to BIO-UV, a modular model from the BIO-SEA B-Series, combining mechanical filtration and UV disinfection, has been ordered by a United Arab Emirates-based offshore drilling contractor, a returning buyer for BIO-UV Group, and might be put in on the vessels in India later in 2023.
“This is the latest in a string of orders for ballast water treatment systems that the maritime division of BIO-UV Group has received from the oil and gas sector; the recent uptick in the offshore energy business reflects a strong sector looking to invest, having bounced back from the extended downturn precipitated by the Covid-19 pandemic,” BIO-UV Group stated.
The BIO-SEA items to be equipped present for stream capacities of as much as 750m3/h; the order additionally consists of spare components and repair preparations.
