2.4. Preparations and pre-conditions
 The HiBallast NF system must be installed, operated, maintained, and repaired by persons
who have been sufficiently trained as described in HiBallast NF safety manual (HiB-
M01005).
 Make sure all documentation is available, read and understood before start.
 Make sure all parts are installed properly according to installation guide before start.
 Make sure that all operating parameters are set properly before start.
 Make sure that WBP and its related valves are set to be proper position before the HiBallast NF starts.
 Make sure not to exceed the certified flow (TRC, Treatment Rated Capacity) in the main stream.
 Make sure that all manually operated isolation valves for electrolyzer modules SHALL be OPENED
for ballasting operation. It is strongly recommended to CHECK the status of manual isolation valves,
and be CAREFUL not to operate or energize electrolyzer without water flow. It should be noted that if
the valve is closed, there is no water flow through electrolyzer module.
If the vessel uses a dedicated seawater tank for low salinity of seawater or a salt
tank, please make sure that the dedicated seawater tank should be filled with
normal seawater before entering into a port which is low salinity region.
Please Note :
At low salinity region, pre-charged salt water in the dedicated tank will be used
for salt water source.

3. System description
3.1. System overview
The HiBallast NF system is a Ballast Water Treatment System that employs aqueous chlorine which is
produced by seawater electrolysis. Total residual chlorine will be dissolved to the water and then converted to
hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion, which have been widely used for disinfection such as prevention of the
marine organisms’ growth and sterilization of drinking water or wastewater. Especially, side-stream (in-direct)
method for electrolysis’ arrangement is hired in order to produce high concentration (but, not more than 1,000
mg/l) of disinfectant, free chlorine and its derivatives from seawater, and then it will be directly injected into the
ballast pipe during ballasting. Generated chlorine and its derivatives will disinfect marine organisms and their
final concentration will meet regulation requirements. The remaining hypochlorite concentration will be
significantly lower than initial doses because the neutralization agent will be injected before de-ballasting in
order to remove any remaining oxidant that might have harmful effect when discharged without neutralization.
The HiBallast NF, Ballast Water Treatment System (hereinafter BWTS), consists of Electrolysis unit,
Neutralization unit and System control unit including Sampling unit. Table 1 summarizes each function of
equipment in the system.
Table 1 Units of Ballast Water Treatment System, “HiBallast NF”

UNIT FUNCTION
Electrolysis unit Electrolysis (Side-stream)
Seawater Feed Unit Sea water supply to electrolysis unit
Neutralization unit De-chlorination during de-ballasting
System control unit BWTS control and monitoring
Sampling unit Treated water sampling
Separately, SEA WATER FEED UNIT which is could be combined in the electrolysis unit considering
installation condition supplies water from source to the electrolysis unit. ELECTROLYSIS UNIT contributes to
produce a disinfectant in the same time. The key role of electrolysis unit is to generate active substances and
inject high concentrate of disinfectant into mainstream of ballast water piping. During this process, hydrogen
gas is also created but it is immediately vented out in order to secure the BWTS during operation.
During de-ballasting, remaining disinfectant which might be harmful to marine environment is reduced by

-7-
neutralizing agent such as thiosulfate and sulfite. The main purpose of NEUTRALIZATION UNIT is to detoxify
possible residuals, which could be residual chlorine or bromine derivatives measured as TRO (Total Residual
Oxidant) in ballast water.
The SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT of BWTS, an independent control unit of the ship’s IAS (Integrated
Automation System) or operator console, controls the system valves, electrolysis unit, neutralization unit and
monitors the system status. It is connected via hard wiring and/or data communication through ethernet to
communicate data between IAS or console and system.
The SAMPLING UNIT is to facilitate sampling of treated water by using flow measuring and sample
preparation devices, which shall comply with IMO Sampling guidance.

* Notes
The HiBallast NF system has system limitations for stable operation of electrolysis and maintaining
expected lifetime of electrodes.
1) In case that a vessel voyages in low salinity region, <15PSU, the vessel has to have a dedicated
seawater tank such as a Side Ballast Tank, A.P. Tank or salt tank unit for brine supply. The dedicated
tank shall be filled with normal seawater, >30PSU, in advance before entering low salinity region.
The system has no limit of salinity when using dedicated seawater tank or brine supply with salt tank
unit.
2) In case that the temperature of seawater feeding to electrolysis unit is below than 10°C, it is
recommended to use heat exchanger.
When the temperature of feed water to electrolyzer is below 10 ℃, the TRC is to be lowered to 80% of
TRC.

5. Process overview
This section explains how HiBallast NF system works during ship’s ballasting, de-ballasting and emergency
bypass process.
5.1. Ballasting
The ballast water is pumped in from the sea chest. And The sea water is also to be fed to electrolysis unit
from the water source by the SEA WATER FEED UNIT.
The ballast water flow is monitored by the flowmeter and controlled by a position valve to ensure that the
flow rates do not exceed the specific TRC (Treatment Rated Capacity). If the flow rates exceed TRC, an alarm
will occur.
Figure 5 Process flow diagram of ballasting operation

-33-
5.2. De-ballasting
De-ballasting operation is that treated ballast water is pumped from ballast tanks to discharge overboard. In
de-ballasting process, remaining disinfectant in the ballast tanks and ballast piping is reduced by neutralizing
unit as using an agent such as thiosulfate. Such residuals are measured by TRO (Total Residual Oxidant) sensor
of HiBallast NF and its feedback is also monitored consistently to control the level of TRO in order to achieve
allowable TRO concentration guided by regulation that must be within 0.1 ppm.
During de-ballasting, the ballast water flow is controlled by the position valve to ensure that the flow rates do
not exceed the specific TRC.
Figure 6 Process flow diagram of de-ballasting operation

-34-
5.3. Emergency shutdown(ESD), Process shutdown(PSD)
The emergency shutdown (ESD) and process shutdown (PSD) are operated only in emergency cases for
ships’ safety. It automatically shuts down the whole system in a pre-determined order as below.
Emergency Shutdown Process Shutdown
All the equipment and valves are turned off and closed The equipment and valves are turned off and closed I a
immediately. Then, emergency dilution air supply pre-set order. Lastly, blowers will be turned off after
valve is opened. 600 seconds.
The ESD and PSD operations always activate an audible and visual alarm. And the event is logged in the
BWTS controller.
5.4. Bypass ballasting operation for Emergency case
The bypass operation (override operation) for emergency is performed by opening main flow control valve
without disturbing ballast water pump operation as shown on the following Figure.

6.14. Main flow control (TRC)
HiBallast NF system has TRC (Treatment Rated Capacity) which is considered as a maximum treatment
capacity of system. The main flow rate should be properly controlled by BWTS controller automatically or
operator using flow control valve in manual. The TRC set value for ballasting can not exceed the rated
(designed) capacity of ballast pump(s), but the main flow for de-ballasting can be adjusted regardless of the
rated capacity of ballast pump.
6.14.1. TRC setting (Auto flow control)
The main flow is controlled by BWTS controller automatically and BWTS controller allows the operator
to adjust TRC set value in [TRC CONTROL PARAMETER] page for flexible operation at supervisor login
level only. (Please see 6.13.2 and 6.10 for more information)
① Key in intended set value + Enter
②Click!
Figure 31 TRC set value adjustment
Please note that the intended TRC set value can not exceed the maximum capacity of the system itself.
And if TRC set value is adjusted before start system, default valve position of main flow control valve to be
also changed accordingly.

-63-
CAUTION! If the TRC set value is changed during ballasting, output current of rectifier is also
changed automatically accordingly by controller. But before start BWTS, the initial
current set value of the rectifier is not changed automatically. So user must change the
initial current set value of rectifier properly in accordance with the following tables.
Please see 6.14.2 for more information.
NOTE The initial current is maintained for predifined specific time after start the rectifier in
order to make the system stable at the beginning of operation. So if this value is not set
properly, the system could be shut down by TRO concentration alarms.
6.14.2. General selection of initial current
HiBallast NF system has following treatment capacities according to the electrolyzer models from 75 to
10000. During commissioning, the initial current could be set considering chlorine demand which are
dependent on function of salinity and temperature of intake water.
Table 3 Current load factor

* The mean of value 1 is total current of rectifier.
* These values can be changed according to the expected degree of contamination of the influent water. In case of high
level of DOC more than 6 mg/L, the current load factor could be 1.25.
* For all cases, the salinity and temperature of feed water to electrolysis unit will be controlled above 15PSU using
dedicated tank or salt tank and 10℃ using heater.

6.14.3. Control of the flow control valve (Manual flow control)
The main flow can be controlled by operator in manual using a flow control valve placed in main ballast
pipe line. It is recommended to control this valve gradually to avoid alarm or system shut down, even
though the current of rectifier will be changed automatically to maintian proper TRO concentration of
ballast water. The expected abnormal conditions which could be caused by dramatic flow change are as
below.
 High or too high main flow rate

 Low or too low main flow rate
 High or too high TRO concentration
 Low or too low TRO concentration

6.14.4. Main flow reduction operation for low temperature of feed water (Ballasting)
Feed water for electrolysis unit will be heated when low temperature is detected by sensor, if the vessel has heat
exchanger for heating the feed water. But, if the vessel has no heater or installed heater is malfunction, TRO
concentration counld be lower than low alarm set value.
In that case, it is recommended to reduce main flow up to 80% of TRC for ballasting. Further reduction might
be required depending on actual temperature of feed water and ballast water quality.
6.14.5. Main flow reduction operation for rectifier current alarm (Ballasting)
Rectifier of HiBallast NF provide current for electrolysis reaction in order to generate the required disinfectant
which can be measured as TRO (as chlorine) during ballasting operation. Normally, it can provide sufficient
current for normal ballasting operation. However, in the case that the feed water to electrolyzer and/or ballast
water contains very high organic content, the capacity of current supplied by the installed rectifier, may be
insufficient to support the TRO in the proper range of ballasting operation. In that case, a CURRENT HIGH or
HIGH HIGH alarm of rectifier is to be annunciated. (Refer to HiB-G0301)
In that case, it is recommended to reduce main flow up to 80% of TRC for ballasting. Further reduction might
be required depending on actual feed water and ballast water quality.
6.14.6. Main flow reduction operation for partial fail of electrolyzer train (Ballasting, multi train type
only)
In case of partial fail of electrolyzer train(s) by defective of electrolyzer module or connected rectifier,
ballasting operation is possible with reduced TRC and isolation of the defective electrolyzer train(s) by closing
electrolyzer outlet manual valve(s). In this case, TRC should be adjusted accordingly considering available
treatment capacity of eletrolyzer train(s). Below table shows an example of the partial operation of HiB-6000 in
case of one train fail.

6.14.7. Main flow reduction operation for partial fail of electrolyzer module in train (Ballasting)
One train of electrolyzer can be connected with multiple rectifiers. When a part of electrolyzer modules or
one of rectifier is fail, treatment capacity of the electrolyzer train can be reduced by disable of the defective
module and rectifier. Below table shows an examples of the treatment capacity reduction of train.

Treatment capacity of train 2000 ㎥/h Treatment capacity of train 1000 ㎥/h
6.14.8. Main flow reduction operation for high TRO (Deballasting)
If the TRO concentration in ballast water is high due to clean water and short voyage, ballast water
could not be neutralized until less than 0.1 mg/L then system will be shutdown by too high TRO alarm
during de-ballasting. In that case, main flow reduction is recommended to ensure neutralization of
discharge water for normal operation.

6.15. Ballasting operation
Ballast water is pumped then flow to the ballast tank(s). It is important to activate BWTS to control valve(s)
before the ballast pump start.
Low salinity The dedicated seawater tank should be filled with salt water before entering into a port where
low salinity region is. At low salinity region, pre-charged salt water in the dedicated tank will
be used as salt water source.
APT When using GSP for APT intake, low pressure operation is required.
ballasting In case that the vessel has separate APT ballasting operation mode using GSP and there is no
orifice at the GSP discharge, it should be considered to reduce APT ballast line pressure below
4bar to get EU injection. In this case, to reduce pressure of the APT ballast line, following
methods are recommended.
1. Open overboard discharge valve (Pressure relief by opening discharge line

2. Throttling of the GSP discharge manual valve (Use GSP discharge manual valve as an
orifice)
But, the first one is recommended because second one still has a risk of high pressure when
the system was shut down and flow control valve was closed.

6.15.3. Low salinity area management function (Optional)
The HiBallast NF system has a special function for low salinity region detection by using Ship’s GPS
data. The GPS interface comply with applicable parts of International Standard IEC 61162.
The following drawing shows a schematic how to cope with low salinity issues on the electrolysis.
The ‘P1’ and ‘R1’ show the position and radius of low salinity region, respectively. The vessel ‘A1’
receives current position data through GPS (Global Positioning System) and the HiBallast NF system
recognizes automatically whether the vessel is approached with the low salinity region or not. Once the
vessel approaches within low salinity region, the HiBallast NF notifies an alarm to the operator.
Figure 33 Schematic drawing of low salinity region
The low salinity region, less than 15 PSU, is also available to be predefined by operator, which is
consisted of the latitudinal and longitudinal data of the vessel’s location and the radius of the region as
shown on the below Figure.

ELECTROLYSIS UNIT during ballasting (CT-1111)
Case 2 By using selection button, the salt unit can be started automatically when start
ballasting.
Once the salt tank unit is in operation, fresh water or sea water supplied from vessel through the remote valve
(BT-1751) is mixed with pre-charged salt in the tank (V-175). And saturated salt water will overflow to the salt
water tank of the unit. Then produced high concentration salt water is injected into the seawater feed pump
suction line by salt water feed pump (P-175). And injection flow is automatically controlled by BWTS
controller using control valves, level switches and salinity sensors to meet required salinity concentration of
feed water for electrolysis unit. Below figure & table show typical configuration of the salt tank unit and
function of the component.
