Ballast water technology gets basic approval by IMO
Severn Trent De Nora announced its BALPURE® ballast water treatment system received basic approval from the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) 60th session, March 22-26, 2010. As a result, Severn Trent De Nora said it submitted its dossier for final approval of the system at an upcoming MEPC session. The company said it is also scheduled to conduct shipboard testing of the BALPURE system May through November 2010 on the California Maritime Academy training ship T.S. Golden Bear.
Severn Trent De Nora said its BALPURE is “a patented system that generates biocides, meters and analyzes the residual level of both biocides and neutralizing agents and logs the performance of the overall ballast water treatment system.”
