Reusing system of the ballast water [PDF]
إبداعات تربوية, 2021 Increasing water consumption is a problem faced by the world; one of its solutions is reusing water. Reuse is about changing processes that result in polluted water byproducts so that the resulting water is usable again. Our solution is to reuse ballast water in transporting oil.

WSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT, 2021 Ships use ballast water to ensure their buoyancy and stability. A significant amount of them is transported in various water basins of the World Ocean. Thus, together with ballast water, many microorganisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton are transported.
