• Accepted USCG Alternate Management safe, flexible and economical process for the
System (AMS) treatment of ballast water.
• Flexible side stream electrolysis Ballast water treatment with a Wärtsilä
configuration AQUARIUS® EC system is achieved through a
• Broad environmental operating envelope simple and efficient two stage process. Upon
- No salinity limits uptake the sea water is first passed through
- No temperature limits a back washing filter (1st Stage) and then
• In situ safe, sustainable and economical the filtered sea water passes through a static
disinfectant generation mixer, where the disinfectant generated from
• Efficient dosing controls the side stream electrolysis unit (2nd stage) is
• Modular construction for injected to ensure a maximum level of 10ppm
- efficient use of space and power in the treated ballast water.
- easy integration with ship systems
• Flexible up-scaling
• Intelligent PLC control ensuring safe,
automatic and economical operation

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
FILTRATION
During uptake ballast water passes through
an automatic back washing filter. The filter
removes particulates, sediments, zooplankton
and phytoplankton over 40 micron. Automatic
filter cleaning ensures and maintains filtration
efficiency.
ELECTRO-CHLORINATION
Disinfectant TRO (total residual oxidant) is
produced by an EC cell module, comprising
of electrolytic cells, specifically designed to
generate sodium hypochlorite from sea water.
The sodium hypochlorite generated is
pumped into the main ballast line, where it is
mixed with filtered ballast water for efficient
disinfection, and pumped into the ballast tanks.
Ballast Water TRO concentration is monitored
to ensure the correct hypochlorite dose.

During discharge the filter is bypassed and
residual concentration of TRO in treated
ballast water is monitored before being
discharged overboard.
If required, treated ballast water is
neutralised by injecting sodium bisulfite
into the main ballast line during discharge.
Neutralisation effectiveness is continuously
monitored to ensure compliance with
MARPOL discharge limits.
