Water Filtration Solutions - Ballast Water Sintered Stainless Steel Filter
Ballast Water Sintered Stainless Steel Filteration and separation systems have become extremely important in modern ships. Since the introduction of steel hulled vessels around 120 years ago, water has been used as a ballast to stabilize vessels at sea. Ballast water is pumped in to maintain the ship’s balance, stability and safe operating conditions throughout a voyage. This water ballast practice reduces stress on the ship’s hull, provides transverse stability, improves propulsion and the ship’s maneuverability, and compensates for weight lost due to the consumption of fuel and water throughout the trip.
While ballast water is essential for modern, safe and efficient shipping operations, it can pose serious ecological, economic and human health-related problems due to the multitude of marine life carried in it within the ship. This marine life includes everything from bacteria and microbes, to small invertebrate animals, eggs, larvae of various species, etc. These organisms and animals may survive to reproduce and establish a population in the host environment (the ship), becoming invasive and multiplying into bigger problems.
For filtration of ballast water in the shipbuilding sector, we produce specially developed Ballast Water Sintered Stainless Steel Filter,stainless steel meshes, semi-finished products and filter cartridges as components for use in the corresponding filter systems of our OEM customers.
