KPI (KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS) APPLICATION ON BALLAST WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM SELECTION

open access: yesBrodogradnja, 2017
Every day, more than 7,000 different marine species are transferred to different ecosystems via ballast water in ships. The introduction of invasive species can cause problems for native species.

Ecological impacts of ballast water loading and discharge: insight into the toxicity and accumulation of disinfection by-products

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Since the implementation of the International Maritime Organization 2004 regulation, most ships have been equipped with on-dock ballast water treatment. While this method is effective in solving the invasive alien species problem, concerns are raised due

Not all calcite ballast is created equal: differing effects of foraminiferan and coccolith calcite on the formation and sinking of aggregates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Correlation between particulate organic carbon (POC) and calcium carbonate sinking through the deep ocean has led to the idea that ballast provided by calcium carbonate is important for the export of POC from the surface ocean.

Enhanced rates of particulate organic matter remineralization by microzooplankton are diminished by added ballast minerals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To examine the potentially competing influences of microzooplankton and calcite mineral ballast on organic matter remineralization, we incubated diatoms in darkness in rolling tanks with and without added calcite minerals (coccoliths) and ...

Approaches for determining the effects of UV radiation on microorganisms in ballast water [PDF]

open access: yesManagement of Biological Invasions, 2013
To minimize the dispersal of aquatic nuisance species through shipping, ballast water can be treated to kill, remove, or inactivate organisms.Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is used in some ballast water management systems to address this goal.
