“We have been able to combine our knowledge of ship technology, water treatment in large scale, and pumping technology which has now resulted in a unique and very sophisticated concept based on proven technology. A clear advantage of our system is that it does not use any type of chemicals, which means there is no pollution as a result of the ballast water treatment,” said Christian Ingvorsen, CEO of DESMI Ocean Guard A/S.

The new ballast water treatment system uses very little energy and meets the International Maritime Organisation’s International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments.
