AQUARIUSTM EC SYSTEM
Q39: What is the basic operating principle of the AQUARIUSTM EC
system?
A: Ballast water treatment with an AQUARIUSTM EC system is achieved through a simple and efficient two
stage process. Upon uptake the sea water is first passed through a back washing filter (1st Stage) and
then the filtered sea water passes through a static mixer, where the disinfectant generated from the side
stream electrolysis unit (2nd stage) is injected to ensure a maximum level of 10ppm in the treated ballast
water. Upon discharge, ballast water with disinfectant levels in excess of the MARPOL limits are
neutralised using sodium bisulfite to ensure environmental compliance.

AQUARIUSTM UV SYSTEM
Q52: What is the basic operating principle of the AQUARIUSTM UV
system?
A: Ballast water treatment with the AQUARIUSTM UV system is achieved through a simple and
efficient two stage process. Upon uptake the sea water is first passed through a back washing filter
(1st Stage). The filtered sea water then passes through a UV chamber (2nd stage) where ultra-violet
light is used to disinfect the water prior to entering the ballast tank. Upon discharge, water from the
ballast tanks passes through the UV chamber only for a second time.
