PRACTICAL

The system does not disrupt any aspect of standard ship operation.
Ballast water is pumped into the ballast tanks as normal, with no restriction to flow.
The water is treated whilst the vessel is underway and so poses no disruption to the vessels operating schedule. System performance is not affected by normal silt and solids levels within
the ballast tanks or by changes in salinity, or even the use of fresh water ballast.
The system is automatic in operation thereby ensuring optimal conditions are maintained within the ballast tanks regardless of loading.
There are no additional specialist training or engineering support requirements for operators already accustomed to using inert gas generation systems.
