GEA: First BallastMaster ultraV for jack-up barge Vidar
Efficient ballast water treatment on special vessel of Hochtief
for offshore wind farms
24.10.2012 + + + Hochtief Solutions is strengthening its leading position in the market for offshore wind
power installations with the expansion of its fleet of special vessels. The German
construction group has engaged the Polish Crist shipyard to build a further jack-up
barge, the Vidar, for establishing offshore wind power installations. On board for the
first time: A BallastMaster ultraV ballast water treatment installation of GEA Westfalia
Separator Group, which uses filtration and UVC treatment to guarantee a high degree
of disinfection safety.
The BallastMaster ultraV operates with low energy and operating costs, does not
require any chemicals and is thus suitable for being installed in new vessels and also
retrofitted in existing vessels. The ballast water system used on the Vidar has a
capacity of 500 cubic metres per hour. The system has BSH type approval according to
IMO MEPC. 174(58). GEA Westfalia Separator Group has already received further
orders for the BallastMaster ultraV.
In advance, Hochtief had already placed orders for a total of five Compact Units with
five separators of the type OSE 10 for treating diesel oil and lubricating oil for the Vidar.
