Water Ballast Management System, PURIMAR

At ballasting, the ballast water treatment process performed by the PurimarTM System comprises two main unit operation: mechanical separation (filtering) and disinfection. At deballasting, a neutralization unit decreases the total residual Samsung-oxidants (TRO) concentration before discharge if required.

Samsung Water Ballast Management System(Purimar) Advantages:

• Small footprint and easy installation in vessel
• Low power consumption(i.e. a 600m3/hr unit need maximum 26kW, 6,500m3/hr unit need maximum 224kW)
• Low cost maintenance
• No increase of corrosion
• Using a little salt water (<1% of total flow)in low salinity (<10PSU)
• Using various heat source of ship for warming a little seawater(<1% of total flow) in low temperature (<10?)
• Non hazardous material to be handled or stocked on board
• Qualified world-wide service network & single service contact
• Easy control, automatic operation by SSAS
• System integration with other automation systems

SHI has developed an efficient way of seawater electrolysis to safely generate sodium hypochlorite on board in the basis of the accumulated electrolysis technology of SHI, which immediately injects the solution directly into the ballast water intakes. The BWMS involves passing a small supply (less than 1% of total ballast flow) of seawater from the incoming ballast water line through bipolar electrolytic cells in which it is subjected to low amperage and medium voltage direct current.

SHI has finally adopted a ballast water treatment system utilizing proven technology to filter out, oxidize and disinfect all harmful aquatic microorganisms and pathogens contained in the ballast water with sodium hypochlorite.
