OPERATION
ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS is a full flow electrolytic system that operates only during ballasting

BALLASTING DE-BALLASTING
FULL FLOW ELECTROLYSIS CONSIDERABLE GAINS
During ballasting, the water goes through the During de-ballasting, the system will only monitor
filter, where organisms and sediment (with a the residual oxidants and will further intervene if
diameter larger than 40 microns) are separated necessary. The main stages of the system (filtra-
and further discharged overboard. tion and disinfection) are bypassed.

The filtered water enters the Electrolytic Cell. A Total Residual Oxidants (TRO) sensor samples
From the chlorides of the water, free chlorine is the residual chlorine at the discharge line. If it is
produced through the electrolysis process at a greater than 0.1 mg/L, a dosing pump is operat-
very low concentration (around 4-6 mg/L). The ed for the dosage of neutralizing agent (Sodium
treated water then, enters the ballast tanks. Bisulfite). Successful neutralization of free
chlorine is confirmed by a second TRO sensor,
installed at the far end point of the ballast
discharge line.

TECHNOLOGY
The success of ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS lies in its simplicity and the proven technology followed.

ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS incorporates the most reliable and efficient filtration followed by a state of the art
disinfection stage. Mechanical separation refers to a 40 microns automatic backwashing filter. The disin-
fection stage takes place in our own-design, highly customized electrodes, providing the appropriate
amount of disinfectant agent whilst consuming minimum power. A special coating is applied on the
electrodes, which are designed to minimize the production of harmful byproducts and have an extend-
ed life time of minimum 5000-6000 hrs.
