USCG Approved Ballast Water Treatment System

Does your ballast water treatment system meet USCG standards? According to the Ballast Water Treatment Convention, BWTC, ships are not allowed to dump ballast water from one port into another without utilizing a USCG approved ballast water treatment system. Treating the ballast water of ships is considered one of the most important things we can do to protect the sustainability of our world’s oceans, which is why the BWTC is enforced by the International Maritime Organization, IMO, and the Marine Environmental Protection Committee, MEPC. 

The advantages of UV water sterilization are considerable and meet with USCG approval of ballast water treatment methods. 

UV Sterilization of Ballast Water 

UV technology is proven to be highly effective at sterilizing water, air and surfaces, eradicating harmful viruses, bacteria, and aquamarine microorganisms naked to the human eye. UVC radiation is an effective and cost efficient water treatment method to eliminate these dangerous invaders. UVC germicidal lamps developed with effective 254 nanometer (nm) output provide long lasting sterilization effectiveness with little to no maintenance require and no harmful chemicals to store or dispose of.
