Ballast water treatment by membrane processes
, 2018 Non-native aquatic species can be introduced in new areas through emptying of the ballast tanks. These introductions induce a high impact on health, economy and environment. This is considered by the International Maritime Organization (IMO): the Ballast Water and Sediments (BMW Convention) entered into force on 8 September 2017 and opens the market ...

Application of Hydrocyclone and UV Radiation as a Ballast Water Treatment Method
Promet (Zagreb), 2010 The ballast water exchange methods in open sea are, for the time being, the prevailing procedures accepted by shipowners. However, such methods do not guarantee full efficacy in elimination of allochthonous organisms.
