Results for tag: "Ballast Water Treatment"

The Ballast Water Treatment market within the Maritime industry is a rapidly growing sector, as the need for effective and efficient ballast water management systems increases. Ballast water is used to stabilize ships and maintain their trim and draft, and is often taken on in one port and discharged in another. This can lead to the spread of aquatic species, which can have a detrimental effect on the environment. To combat this, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented the Ballast Water Management Convention, which requires ships to install ballast water treatment systems. These systems use a variety of technologies to treat ballast water, including filtration, ultraviolet disinfection, and chemical treatment. The systems must meet the IMO's standards for ballast water discharge, and must be approved by the relevant maritime authority. Companies in the Ballast Water Treatment market include Alfa Laval, Evoqua Water Technologies, Panasia, Wärtsilä, and Xylem. Show Less Read more
