Inline CMD system for monitoring operationality of BWMS: development project

Monitoring, rather than simply testing to prove compliance in port or during checkups, is important, as the ballast water tests performed by many groups have shown operator errors are a common source of failed ballast water compliance – a source which can be avoided....

Conducting the first tests of ballast water quality monitoring platform integrated on a vessel: BallastWISE Inline

The test setup at NIOZ: here you see the components of BallastWISE Inline exposed in the bare frame of its housing – the BallastWISE Filter unit (left) and test chambers units (middle) are connected with tubes and pumps, while and a computer runs the BallastWISE...

Main source of ballast water compliance and commissioning test failures is organisms ≥ 50 μm in size

On site operation of the BallastWISE Filtration Unit on a commercial vessel during commissioning testing of a BWMS. In this article, we dive into an important finding from the experience-building phase (EBP) report associated with the Ballast Water Management...

Developing a new ballast water test method – to address an important gap in ballast water compliance testing

Resistant organisms floating unnoticed in ballast water… The spread of invasive species in untreated ballast water represents a major threat to marine biodiversity, marine industry and human health. Certain organisms are more resistant to ballast water treatment than...

1.3 million DKK support to develop in-line ballast water quality monitoring platform

Shipowners installing Ballast water treatment systems are making a substantial technology investment but have no practical way to validate the system’s operational functionality. We want to change that. MicroWISE recently received funding from the Danish...
