Assessing the Performance of Shipboard Instruments Used to Monitor Total Residual Oxidants

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Shipboard ballast water management systems (BWMS) commonly employ chlorine or other oxidants to treat ballast. Oxidant-based BWMS inject these biocides to meet a concentration threshold or target value that is lethal to most aquatic organisms.

Biological testing of ships’ ballast water indicates challenges for the implementation of the Ballast Water Management Convention

Frontiers in Marine Science
Ships’ ballast water and sediments are vectors that contribute to the unintentional spread of aquatic non-native species globally. Ballast water management, as well as commissioning testing of ballast water management systems and compliance monitoring ...

Ballast water treatment by ozone nanobubbles

Summarization: BACKGROUND The uncontrolled discharge of untreated ballast water, which is essential for a ship's optimal operation, is one of the major causes of sea environmental pollution by shipping. Among the disinfection methods available for ballast water treatment, ozonation is a commonly used method, but its performance is limited by the rapid ...

Water ballast treatment στην ελληνική εμπορική ναυτιλία

, 2006
Το θέμα αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι για να ανάλυση το τέταρτοσημαντικότερο πρόβλημα ρύπανσης του θαλασσίου περιβάλλοντος που προκαλείται απότις μεταναστεύεις υδρόβιων μικροοργανισμών από θάλασσα σε θάλασσα. Για τοπρόβλημα αυτό ο ΙΜΟ θέσπισε μια νέα συνθήκη «For the control and management ofship's Ballast Water and sediments» γνωστή και σαν ...
