Study on Ship Ballast Water Treatment Methods
Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023 With the rise of the world's maritime industry, the ecological and environmental concerns produced by ballast water discharges from ships are growing more and more significant, and can be hazardous to marine ecosystems, the marine economy, and human health. The ballast water management (BWM) convention from the International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Assessing ballast treatment standards for effect on rate of establishment using a stochastic model of the green crab [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2012 This paper describes a stochastic model used to characterize the probability/risk of NIS establishment from ships' ballast water discharges. Establishment is defined as the existence of a sufficient number of individuals of a species to provide for a ...

ELECTROCOAGULATION SYSTEM FOR TREATMENT OF BALLAST WATER
Carpathian Journal of Earth and Environmental SciencesThis study aimed to determine the removal of hazardous materials in ballast water by using an electrocoagulation (EC) system. This research was carried out on January 16 – June 15 2023 in Batam City. Ballast water was supplied by tanker ships anchored at 5 ports in Batam Island, namely Batam Centre, Sekupang, Nongsapura, Telaga Punggur, and Batu Ampar.

Do Ballast Water Management Systems Reduce Phytoplankton Introductions to Canadian Waters?
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Global coastal aquatic ecosystems are negatively impacted by the introduction of harmful aquatic species through the discharge of ships’ ballast water. To reduce discharges of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens, such as toxic phytoplankton species ...

Ballast water treatment system testing: assessing novel treatments and validating compliance methods [PDF]
, 2021 Aquatic invasive species spreading via ballast water are a threat to marine biodiversity. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) adopted a Ballast Water Discharge Standard (BWDS) limiting discharge of organism through ballast water.
