Evoqua Water Technologies supports Conference “Implementation of the BWMC in Russia” as its Sponsor
Evoqua Water Technologies supports the Conference “Implementation of the BWMC in Russia. What needs to be done by September?” as its Sponsor.
The Conference organized by Media Group PortNews with the assistance of the Russian Ministry of Transport will be held in Moscow, at the Chamber of Commerce of the Russian Federation, on 27 February 2017.
The Ballast Water Management Convention (BWMC 2004) will enter into force on September 8, 2017. The BWMC was adopted in order to prevent or minimize the spread of harmful aquatic organisms from one region to another, by establishing standards and procedures for the management and control of ships' ballast water and sediments.
Under the Convention, the ports and terminals where cleaning or repair of ballast tanks occurs, are required to have adequate reception facilities for the reception of sediments, taking into account relevant guidelines of IMO.
All ships in international traffic are required to manage their ballast water and sediments to a certain standard, according to a ship-specific ballast water management plan. Eventually most ships will need to install an on-board ballast water treatment system.

Evoqua’s SeaCURE® Ballast Water Management System uses a combination of filtration followed by in-situ production of biocide from seawater via electrochlorination. The SeaCURE system has evolved from the Chloropac® Marine Growth Prevention System (MGPS) to meet the IMO and USCG regulations in all three salinities.
Utilising trusted Chloropac electrolyser technology which has been servicing the maritime, and off-shore Oil & Gas industry for over 40 years, the SeaCURE system produces hypochlorite through the electrochlorination process to provide effective ballast water treatment. The system uses a small feed stream of just about 1% of the ballast water flow to generate sodium hypochlorite for the treatment of ballast water.
