GEA Westfalia Separator:
On the Move, Cleanly and Worry-Free
Highly Efficient Ballast Water Treatment Without the Use of Chemicals:
BallastMaster ultraV
26.07.2012 + + + Increasing demands for cost and resource efficiency in ship operations and the growing
importance of sustainable management have resulted in repeated critical examination
of the individual material and process cycles by shipping companies and shipbuilders in
recent years. Until now, ballast water on board has generally been treated with the use
of chemicals, resulting in corresponding detrimental effects for the environment as well
as material costs. At SMM 2012, with the new BallastMaster ultraV solution,
GEA Westfalia Separator Group demonstrates once again its development of new
products that are customer-oriented and in line with market requirements: with this
solution, the necessary cleaning processes can be completed entirely without the use
of chemicals and solely on the basis of filtration and irradiation with UV-C light. As
ultrasound is used for the self-cleaning of the lamps, no disinfection by-products
occur.
The BallastMaster ultraV has a modular structure and is therefore suited both to use in
the construction of new ships and to retrofitting. The system has already been certified
under IMO regulations and is being presented for the first time at SMM in Hamburg.
A Modern Service Concept that Adapts Intelligently and Flexibly:
serv&care
Experts estimate that the costs of system failures and downtimes within one life cycle
could be three to four times greater than the corresponding costs of maintenance and
repair. Particularly in ship operations, the economic importance of system availability
cannot be overestimated. GEA Westfalia Separator Group is therefore also bringing its
new, holistic serv&care service concept to SMM 2012. serv&care makes service not
only more flexible and adaptable than before but also capable of learning. Maintenance
measures are no longer bound by rigid concepts and firmly defined packages but
rather form one element of individually co-ordinated service agreements. In all
parameters, these are precisely geared to the individual requirements of the
customer.
The central benefit for the customer: maximum system availability with absolute budget
security.
