The BALPURE system from Severn Trent De Nora is environmentally safe and easy to maintain. The self cleaning system offers an operating cost of less than €0.016 ($0.022) per m³ of ballast water treated. Designed for high-capacity applications, the BALPURE system can offer energy savings of more than 60% compared to competitive technologies.

Marwan Nesicolaci, Severn Trent Services’ vice president of international sales and business development said: “Electrochlorination-based ballast water treatment systems such as BALPURE are well suited for ships with high ballast water flow rates such as tankers and bulk carriers because of their low power consumption, especially when compared to other technologies. Additionally, the BALPURE system is easy to separate into smaller sub-assemblies to fit installation requirements on retrofit or new construction vessels, minimizing changes to ship design. The sub-assembly design of the BALPURE system is exceptionally well suited for vessels with hazardous area rated-pump rooms (as required by SOLAS rules).”
