ERMA FIRST FIT BTWS

Product catalog summary

Overview
ERMA FIRST ESK Engineering Solutions S.A. provides a Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) that is USCG type approved and suitable for all water types. The system is designed for both ballasting and de-ballasting operations, ensuring compliance with international regulations.

Ballasting Process
During ballasting, water is filtered to remove organisms and sediment larger than 40 microns. The filtered water then undergoes electrolysis to produce free chlorine at low concentrations (4-6 mg/L) before entering the ballast tanks.

De-ballasting Process
In de-ballasting, the system monitors residual oxidants. If residual chlorine exceeds 0.1 mg/L, a neutralizing agent (Sodium Bisulfite) is dosed to ensure safe discharge. This is confirmed by a second sensor.

Technology and Operation
The ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS uses a full flow electrolytic system, operating only during ballasting. It features a 40 microns automatic backwashing filter and advanced electrolysis cells with a special coating to minimize harmful byproducts. The system is designed for low power consumption and minimal pressure drop.

System Features
The system is modular, suitable for various vessel types and sizes, and operates efficiently in challenging conditions. It covers capacities from 50 to 3740 m3/hr and is certified by IMO, USCG, and classification societies.

Benefits
ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS offers competitive capital and operational expenditures, a small footprint, and smart savings. It is certified under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.

Global Network
ERMA FIRST serves ships internationally through a network of agents and service stations in numerous countries, ensuring global support and service availability.

ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS is a full flow electrolytic system that operates only during ballasting FULL FLOW ELECTROLYSIS CONSIDERABLE GAINS During ballasting, the water goes through the filter, where organisms and sediment (with a diameter larger than 40 microns) are separated and further discharged overboard. During de-ballasting, the system will only monitor the residual oxidants and will further intervene if necessary. The main stages of the system (filtration and disinfection) are bypassed. The filtered water enters the Electrolytic Cell. From the chlorides of the water, free chlorine is produced...
