Working Principle and Composition
Ship Ballast Water Definition

When the ships sail, enter and

leave port, load and berth in different
operation conditions, the ballast tanks need
to be taken or discharged ballast water in
order to maintain proper height of gravity
centre, tonnage, draft , vertical and
horizontal balance, and reduce excessive
bending moment, shear forces, vibration of
the hull.

 BWMS Definition

The inadvertent transfer of harmful aquatic organisms

and pathogens in the ballast water of ships has been
determined to have caused a significant adverse
impact to many of the world’s coastal regions. The
international maritime community, under the auspices
of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has
developed several documents, including the
“International Conventions for the Control and
Management of Ship’s Ballast Water and Sediments,
2004”, (Ballast Water Management Convention),
which are aimed at preventing the introduction of
unwanted aquatic organisms and pathogens through
the discharge of ballast water and sediments.
Ballast Water Management System means any system which process ballast water such at it meets
or exceeds the ballast water discharge performance standard.

Filter Description

The ballast filter is an automatic back-flushing filter, its

flushing is done without interrupting operation and with a
minimal pressure drop. The automatic back-flushing filter
can continue to work even if the back-flushing process is
running.
When the differential pressure of the filter screen or the
working time achieves the set value, the system will
automatically start self-clean cycle, and the dirty water is
firstly sent into sewage system. Then, the sewage is
pumped back to sea either in a separate line or through a
connection to an overboard line.

EDU Description

The EDU gets a little seawater to electrolyzer and

generates oxidant (NaClO) and by-product hydrogen.
The electrolyzed water contains sodium hypochlorite
solution is injected back into the main ballast pipe.
The hydrogen is separated by cyclone, and then the
hydrogen is diluted with air using a blower to a safe level
before it is released overboard.

ANU Description

Automatic neutralization unit is used to neutralizing

residual chlorite in the treated ballast water during de-
ballasting process.
The amount of neutralizer is controlled and adjusted
according to the amount of flow of the ballast water in the
main pipe and the TRO concentration in the ballast water
measured by the TRO analyzer.
Na2S2O3 solution is used as the neutralizer.

 2.4 Control System
Control Description

BalClor BWMS is designed for completed automatic

operation on the basis of PLC platform. During automatic
operation, the working condition of every part in this system
is automatic monitored.
In emergency cases, the system can be manually
operated. When emergency occurs, PLC will send
instruction signal to adjust the working condition of the
indentified part.
Meanwhile, PLC will transmit the working parameters of
the equipments and the alarm status to the HMI for
operating and observing.

(1)Flow Measuring system

Flow measuring system uses an electromagnetic flow meter measure the flow volume of
ballast water. The electromagnetic system consists of one transmitter and one sensor. And
include two types: split and combined.

 2.5 Other Important Equipments
(2)TRO Monitoring System

TRO Monitoring system is an economical and low maintenance instrument for ballast
water to analyze total residual chlorine of main pipe by use of DPD chemical colorimetric
method. The reagents consist of two bottles. One bottle has a buffer to control the PH; the
second has an indicator that contains DPD, which produces color for chemical reaction.
In ballasting, TRO monitoring system measures TRO concentration of ballast water after
fully mixed with sodium hypochlorite solution and transmits concentration signal to PLC in
the system control cabinet. After compared with preset signal, PLC transfer result signal to
the rectifier. On the basis of received signal, rectifier will regulate output current to control
amount of sodium hypochlorite generated by electrolytic cell to maintain TRO concentration.
In de-ballasting, the control system will calculate neutralizer dosage automatically in
accordance with overboard TRO value and main pipe flow rate.
