Ballast Water Management System Expert - Alfa Laval will attend the MPC2015 Summit

It is reported that PureBallast uses a unique and chemical-free technology that generates free radicals that kill microbes in ballast water without any harm to the environment or navigation. At the same time, the compact design is ideal for installation in the engine room, which requires extremely low space requirements. As a joint professional organization, the International Maritime Association (IMO), Alfa Laval's unique system not only meets its standards, but is also recognized by the International Maritime Association for environmental, ship and personnel safety. Currently, the system has been installed more than 1,000 worldwide. The set, which includes nearly 150 sets installed in China, has won unanimous praise from industry owners.

As everyone knows, the entry into force of the Ballast Water Management Convention has been on the line. In the next five years, about 10,000 ships will need to install ballast water treatment systems every year. In the face of huge business opportunities, the battle for the ship's ballast water treatment system market has also entered a “white-hot” stage. However, in the face of cost, installation/modification, operation and maintenance, etc. of “complex and costly different brands of ballast water treatment systems”, how do shipowners choose the most suitable ballast water management system?

As the preferred platform for communication between domestic and overseas ballast water companies and Asian shipowners' shipyards, the 2015 China International Ship Pollution and Control Summit Forum (MPC 2015) is sponsored by the China Shipbuilding Industry Association and co-organized by the International Shipbuilding New Convention Standards Working Mechanism Office. Supported by China Shipowners Association, China Shipbuilding Engineering Society and China Navigation Society Anti-pollution Professional Committee, the 11th Research Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corporation will be held in Shanghai on October 20-21, 2015.

With the theme of “How to choose a ballast water management system that matches the ship type”, it is expected that there will be more than 200 people from the Maritime Safety Administration, classification society, shipowners, shipyards, design units, ballast water production companies and consulting companies. Representatives participated in the summit.
