voyage and also reduces <strong>the</strong> risk of corrosion<br />
in <strong>the</strong> tanks.<br />
On 3 January 2012, DNV granted type<br />
approval to <strong>the</strong> Mark II model of OceanSaver,<br />
which is a tailored version of <strong>the</strong> already type<br />
approved Mark I model, but with <strong>the</strong> most<br />
‘energy demanding’ features of <strong>the</strong> Mark I<br />
model removed. The Mark II model introduces<br />
better-performing filtration technology and<br />
reduces piping installation, which saves both<br />
time and money.<br />
Previously focusing mostly on <strong>the</strong><br />
larger-sized vessel segment, OceanSaver<br />
is positioning Mark II as a cost-effective<br />
solution for <strong>the</strong> medium-range vessel market,<br />
thus expanding its client base.<br />
OceanSaver’s focus is not only on<br />
procurement costs, but on Mark II’s entire<br />
lifecycle costs, including spare parts, energy<br />
consumption and manpower. The energy<br />
required for <strong>the</strong> complete system and related<br />
equipment is 50% less for Mark II compared mp<br />
with Mark I.<br />
OBS<br />
OptiMarin<br />

The Optimarin <strong>Ballast</strong> System (OBS) is based<br />
on filtration as pre-treatment and high doses<br />
of ultraviolet irradiation for inactivation of<br />
marine organisms.<br />
The OBS does not use or generate<br />
chemicals or biocides in its treatment or<br />
cleaning processes. <strong>Ballast</strong> water is treated<br />
both during ballasting and deballasting to<br />
ensure <strong>the</strong> dual UV effect. <strong>Ballast</strong> water is<br />
filtered only during ballasting.<br />
The system is normally installed as close as<br />
possible to <strong>the</strong> ballast pumps. The modular<br />
system is flexible, with a relatively small<br />
footprint and weight, and will fit vessels of<br />
different kinds and sizes. The OBS can be<br />
delivered as a complete skid or as a customised<br />
solution. It accommodates a wide range of<br />
ballast water capacities and can handle flows<br />
up to 3,000m3 /h (or higher upon request).<br />
The MicroKill UV chamber has one UV<br />
lamp, with a flow rate of 167m3 /h, which can<br />
be installed in parallel on a single manifold for<br />
higher flows.<br />
The chamber is specifically developed and<br />
manufactured for installation aboard ships.<br />
It is self-cleaning, with no moving parts or<br />
need for chemical cleaning. There is a UV and<br />
temperature sensor in each chamber.<br />
Optimarin offers two 40µm filters: BSF<br />
MicroKill basket type and B&K MicroKill<br />
candle type, both of which have automatic<br />
backflushing and are self-cleaning. ning ng ng.<br />

A 100% physical treatment technology has<br />
been adopted by Panasia of South Korea for<br />
its BWMS GloEn-Patrol, which eliminates<br />
harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens<br />
in water without generating any toxic<br />
