Testing the BIO-SEA ballast water management system; Filter efficiency tests with high levels of zooplankton

N.H.B.M. Kaag, A.C. Sneekes

Research output: Book/ReportReportProfessional

Abstract

The BIO-SEA® Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) was tested at the IMARES land-based test facility. General goal of the tests was to compare two different brands of filter and to test the filter efficiency of finer mesh sizes of each brand. The filters were tested in combination with a ‘one-shot UVtreatment’ (ballasting and deballasting the same day) in order to evaluate the effect of the filters on the overall treatment efficacy.
