Ballast water management system is obligatory on ships

Treatment of the ballast water should prevent further invasive pollution of the coastal installations due to foreign water organisms that threaten the marine ecosystems.

Protection of the ballast water treatment system

Aggressive seawater, tenacious adhering organic particles and mussel growth, inside and outside the ballast-water treatment systems affect their optimum functionality. Through reliable prefiltration, using the BOLLFILTER automatic Type 6.18.3, solid protection for the ballast water system is ensured.

Cost savings through a fully automatic filter

Due to automatic backflushing, perfect regeneration of the filter mesh is ensured. The filter, operating fully automatic, conforms to the regulations of unsupervised operation on ships. A continuous series with different sizes of housing and nominal connection widths, permit adapted dimensioning of the ballast water filter to individual circumstances.
