Follow on Google News | New reactor for Alfa Laval PureBallast means opportunities for smaller vesselsThe proven capabilities of Alfa Laval PureBallast – which include operation in fresh, brackish or marine water and in low-clarity water with just 42% UV transmittance – are now available to significantly smaller vessels.
By: Alfa Laval Tumba AB A variety of vessel types, including offshore supply vessels, will benefit from the extended PureBallast flow range. The lower capacities are enabled by a new reactor, optimized for system sizes from 170 m3/h down to 87 m3/h. This is a major expansion of the PureBallast family, where a 250 m3/h system was previously the smallest available. “Lower flow rates will make PureBallast accessible to smaller vessels, whose quality and performance needs mirror the needs of larger vessels,” says Stephen Westerling-Greer, Global Business Manager for PureBallast. “In some cases, as in the offshore industry, small vessel needs can be all the more extreme.” No compromises in design or operation Westerling-Greer points out that no shortcuts have been taken in the design process. “Smaller PureBallast systems will be a full match for their larger counterparts,” Nor will smaller vessels need to compromise their business opportunities. Certified for use in fresh, brackish and marine water, PureBallast can also treat liquid water with frigid temperatures or extremely poor quality. In low-clarity water with a UV transmittance of just 42%, PureBallast can still perform at full flow – a feat unmatched by any other system. “With PureBallast, vessels both large and small can enter more ports than with any other ballast water treatment system,” Westerling-Greer says. “Because PureBallast addresses the broadest spectrum of water types and qualities, ship owners and operators will be able to optimize their risk management. They can be confident of compliance with the local port requirements while ballasting and deballasting efficiently.” To learn more about PureBallast and Alfa Laval’s approach to ballast water treatment, visit www.alfalaval.com/ Link to Alfa Laval marine press releasesand hi-res images: http://www.alfalaval.com/ For further information, please contact: Stephen Westerling-Greer Global Business Manager, PureBallast, Alfa Laval Phone: +46 709 66 51 51 E-mail:stephen.westerlinggreer@ Sofia Rugfelt Marine Trade Press Manager Marine & Diesel Division, Alfa Laval Phone: +46 8 530 653 57 E-mail: sofia.rugfelt@ www.alfalaval.com/ Editor’s notes About PureBallast PureBallast is a ballast water treatment system sold by Alfa Laval and developed jointly by Alfa Laval and Wallenius Water.
