MMC BWMS - UV

MMC BWMS make use of the latest UV-technology commercially available today, based on medium pressure UV-radiation. This is the most efficient UV-technology for Ballast Water Treatment with a UV-radiation wave length of 200-400 nm.

UV- light has proved to be a very “clean” alternative to active substances (chemical agents such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide or ozone). Unlike these methods, UV does not produce any disinfection-by-products (DBPs).

The UV-sensor is placed in between the lamps, “looking 360 degrees” and senses all lamps simultaneously. The sensor will detect if a lamp needs to be replaced. Lamps and sensor are covered by the same quart sleeves, and is cleaned by a state of the art wiping mechanism. 4 power steps, controlled according to UV- light transmission. UV-lamp life time of more than 1000 hour (calculated to approx. 5-years operation on maximum power).
