4 OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
This section will include all the operational limitations of the Seascape BWMS.
The Seascape BWMS includes visual means of indicating, on the HMI screen and in a
normally manned space like the Ballast Control Room, when the system is operating,
including a visual alarm activated whenever the system is in operation for the purpose of
cleaning, calibration, or repair. The latter function is ensured by use of “System Lock”
mode on the HMI screen.
The operational limitations are all included in the Control and Automation monitoring
system of the Seascape BWMS. If any of those limitations are exceeded, the Seascape
BWMS will:
• Give audio and visual alarm signals in all stations from which ballast water
operations are controlled
• Give signal to the operator to activate suitable manual bypass to protect the safety
of the vessel and personnel in the event of an emergency
• Close intake & outlet valve to the system in the case of failure or to compensate for
momentary loss of power during operation of the system so that unintentional
discharges do not occur
The above three actions will also occur in case of any failure compromising the proper
operation of the BWMS.
All stop valves in the Seascape BWMS can be manually activated in case of loss of power
or failure of the system. Table 12 and Table 13 list the major operational parameters of the
different models of the Seascape BWMS.
A special note is given to the Treatment Rated Capacity of Seascape BWMS. At salinity
levels below 21 PSU, the flow is decreased to 66.7% of full TRC.
Upon detection of low salinity, the flow is reduced with a latch delay of 5 seconds.
Upon detection that the salinity has increased above 21 PSU after being below 21 PSU, the
flow is increased with a latch delay of 60s.
The latch delays are in place to prevent the BWMS from too frequently changing the flow
rate.

For the Seascape-BWMS applies multiple EPT Units and/or filters (Seascape-1200/
2000/2400/3000/4000/5000-BWMS), in order to ensure the evenly distribution of flows,
the filters should be parallelly installed.
In order to ensure that the flow through each EPT is similar, for the Seascape-BWMS
parallel models, the main inlet/outlet pipeline shall be used as an axis and multiple EPT
Units evenly encircle around it, seawater branches at the main inlet into each EPT unit, and
then flow to the main outlet., please see Figure 6. Please also refer to Annex B, General
Arrangement Drawing for more details.
NOTICE
Use only halogen-free cables, specifically suited for the marine application onboard ships. This applies to cabling
between the components of the Seascape BWMS and between the system and the ship´s interface.
All cable connections must be made in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the vessel’s classification society.
NOTICE
Connections between the ship´s interface and the Seascape BWMS can be made in many ways. It is important when
installing the equipment that considerations for proper operation of the Seascape BWMS are taken, include control of
valves, sensors, pumps and signals sent or received by the Seascape BWMS.
BWMS), in order to ensure that the water coming out of the filtration unit could be evenly distributed
to each EPT Unit, the main pipeline connect to the EPT’s inlet should be configured as follows:
Firstly, the diameter of main pipe connect to the EPT’s inlet should be equal to the BWMS’s main
pipe diameter, the usage of different diameter pipe should be avoided as much as possible. The
acceptable connecting pipe diameter should be within the range of ±110% BWMS main pipe
diameter.
Secondly, the length of straight main pipe before the EPT’s inlet must be equal or greater than the
pipe’s diameter. If condition permits, the length of the straight pipe should be 3-5 times of its
diameter, which can achieve the optimum even flow distribution.
For each model of Seascape-BWMS, the requirement of pipeline is listed as follows:

Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
6.3.1 BALLAST
Before starting a ballasting operation, it is recommended to perform a Cleaning Mode
operation as described in Section 6.6 Cleaning Mode, to ensure the filter is cleaned of any
sludge remains from previous operations.
In order to perform a ballast operation using the Seascape BWMS to treat the water, press
the button named “Ballast” on the control panel (see Figure 10).
• Sea-chest valve (Y1) must be opened manually before the “Ballast” button is
opened. The Seascape BWMS stop valves are automatically controlled by the
system, in order to control the ballasting sequence.
When you press “Ballast” button on control cabinet panel, the button indicator light turns
green. The following operation sequences occur:
6.3.1.1 PREHEATING PROCESS
a) If the level switch in the EPT unit gives signal that the EPT unit is 10 0% filled
with water, the control unit automatically begins step d). If the level switch
gives signal that the EPT unit is not 100% filled, step b) to c) occurs
automatically.
b) Open valves Y2, Y3, Y5, Y8 and Flow control valve Y24. The ballast pump is
started.
c) Pump water through the filter and to the UV chamber until the level indicator in the
UV chamber reaches its acceptable value (100%). The ballast pump is then stopped
and valves Y2, Y3, Y5, Y24 and Y8 (Y6 if de-ballasting) are closed.
d) The preheat process includes US treatment and preheating the UV lamps.
Before UV lamp preheating starts up, the UV lamp tubes are cleaned with US
treatment for 180 seconds. The US treatment continues after the 180s has
passed.
33
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
e) After 180s of US treatment, the UV lamps are warmed up for 120 seconds. The
temperature transmitter and level switch secure that there is water in the UV
chamber and that the UV lamps are sufficiently cooled. If not, an alarm is
issued and the system is shut down.
→ The 180s US countdown time prior to lamps preheating, and 120s lamps preheating
time is displayed on the HMI screen for reference combined into a 300s countdown

Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
The Communication of UV ballast means the connecting between UV ballast and control
unit. If the communication is disconnected, you should check UV ballast’s power and the
communicate wire of UV ballast.
In addition to these above, we have another way to check at least if the fault is on UV
ballast or on UV lamp by Swapping output wires between alarming UV ballast and normal
UV ballast. If UV lamp has fault,the operator need to check cables from ballast to the
UV lamp,and disassemble UV lamps if required.
NOTICE
The HMI will always be in a stand-by mode monitoring the bypass valve. Activation of the bypass valve will trigger
an alarm as described in the Emergency Section below.
6.3.1.8 COOLING
The EPT unit has a non-return valve at the bottom. The water trapped in the EPT Unit is
sufficient to disperse the residual heat in the UV lamps. The Seascape BWMS can be
restarted within 180s after shutting down.
6.3.1.9 CIP PROCESS
After a ballasting operation we recommend cleaning the EPT unit with a CIP (Cleaning In
Place) process to prevent organic growth and scaling at the UV lamps and EPT chamber
walls. Follow the automatic or manual procedures in Section 6.7 to perform a CIP process.
38
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
6.3.2 DE-BALLAST
The Seascape BWMS is designed to treat the water with filtration and EPT unit during
discharge, to eliminate the remaining organisms that might have survived the first
treatment.
In order to perform a de-ballast operation using the Seascape BWMS to treat the water,
press the button named “De-ballast” on the control panel (see Figure 10).
• Valve between ballast tank and ballast pump intake (Y10) must be opened
manually before the “De-ballast” button is opened. The Seascape BWMS stop
valves are automatically controlled by the system, in order to control the de-
ballasting sequence.
When you press the “De-ballast” button on the control cabinet panel, the button indicator
light turns green. The following operation sequences occur:
6.3.2.1 PRE-HEATING
The same procedure as under “Ballast” operation in Section 6.3.1.1 will occur, but with
Valve between ballast tank and ballast pump intake (Y10) open instead of Sea Chest, and
Y6 open instead of Y8.
6.3.2.2 DE-BALLASTING PROCESS
Valves Y2, Y3, Y5, Y8, and Flow control valve Y24 are opened, taking the water from
the ballast tanks to overboard through filter and EPT Unit. The valves actions, energizing
the UV lamps and signals to start the ballast pump will all be performed automatically.

Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
Except for the installed operating system and software, the DRU has at least 80 GB storage
space left for the operational data recording. The Seascape-BWMS records about 1 KB
data per minute during operation (calculated by averagely 19 variables per min., adding the
storage of datasheet itself, index file, and other supplementary sheets), so for one day of
operation ~ 1.4 MB data will be recorded, considering the alarms and operational activity
record, the size of the data record for one day shall be around 1.5 MB. Base on that
calculation, ~ 1.6 GB DRU storage space is required to recording 36 months of continuous
operation of Seascape-BWMS, which is much smaller than 80 GB. Thus, it is concluded
that the DRU has adequate storage space for 36-month data recording.
The storage space of SD card is not less than 2 GB (by the development of technology, the
SD card storage is increasing, such as 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, etc., and small storage
SD card will be phased out gradually). The HMI of Seascape-BWMS records ~220 B data
per minute, so for every data ~0.3 Mb data is recorded, and considering the alarms and
operational activity record, the size of data record for one day shall be ~0.32 Mb. Base on
that calculation, ~ 350 Mb SD card space is required to recording 36 months of continuous
operation of Seascape-BWMS, which is much smaller than 2 GB. Thus, it is concluded
that a 2 GB SD card has adequate storage space for 36-month data recording.

through main Control Panel/HMI. Both the main work station and Remote Control Panel
will at all times indicate what control panel is in control of the Seascape BWMS.
The BWMS can only be controlled by one Control Panel at a time. When transferring
control to another work station, the transfer has to be acknowledged by the receiving work
station before the transfer of control takes place. An audible pre-warning is given at the
Remote Control Panel when the control is transferred.
The main work station is able to take control of the Seascape BWMS without
acknowledgement, but an audible warning will be given at the work station that
relinquishes control.
6.14.2ABNORMAL STOP
Abnormal stop refers to the system shutdown caused by either PLC failure or other failure
alarm. The BWMS will issue audio & visual alarm under the abnormal stop condition.
6.14.2.1 PLC FAILURE
When the PLC is malfunctioned, the control signal output will be stopped, and all pumps,
motors, valves, UV Lamps and US system will stop immediately. A “DRU Disconnect”
record will be logged.
It is to be noted that opening the by-pass valve will not be recorded under the PLC failure
condition.
NOTICE
It is forbidden to open the By-pass Valve when the PLC is malfunctioned unless there is a risk on the crew or the
ship, and by-pass operation must be recorded by the operator.
57
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
malfunction of UV Lamp or US system. When other failure occurs, the system will shut
down in the following sequence: Firstly, all pumps and motors will be stopped, after a 2
seconds interval the valves will be closed, and finally, the UV-Lamps and Ultrasonic
system will be stopped after another 2 seconds delay.
For all other failures except the “DRU disconnect”, the failure detail and alarm will be
recorded. For the “DRU disconnect” failure, only the “DRU disconnect” message and
“DRU power off” record will be logged.
The abnormal stop caused by other failures will stop the current operation (ballast,
deballast, etc.), and the system will remain in the ready state. Some fault alarms (flow
meter high high, pressure sensor high high, Filter differential pressure high-high, valve
abnormal, UV ballast malfunction, etc.) will remain until the “Start” button is pressed
again.
After an abnormal stop, a restart is required before resuming to the designated operation
modes. To restart the operation from a “non-remaining alarm faults”, press the mode
button (ballast, de-ballast, etc.) again. To re-initiate the operation from a “remaining alarm
faults”, press the “Start” button before mode button.
6.14.3LOSS OF POWER
When the 380 V power supply is cut off, all pumps, motors, US system and UV lamps will
be shut down at the same time. The PLC will immediately detect an abnormal voltage and
UV ballast failure, etc., and then issue an alarm and to stop the operation and valves.
Alarms of abnormal voltage, ballast fault, system shutting down during this process will be
recorded in the DRU, and if the bypass valve opens in this process, the system will also
issue an alarm and record it.
When the 220 V control power supply is cut off, all pumps, motors, US system and UV
lamps will be shut down at the same time as well as the PLC. During this process, the DRU
will also be powered off, and only the record of power-off will be logged in the operation
record.
It is to be noted that opening by-pass valve will not be recorded under the PLC & DRU
powered off condition.
NOTICE
It is forbidden to open the By-pass Valve when the PLC is powered-off unless there is a risk on the crew or the ship,
and by-pass operation must be recorded by the operator.
After a power-off reset, all operation modes need to be restarted in order to continue the
operation.
If it’s controlled by the BWMS, the ballast pump will be stopped together with other pumps during
the shutdown processes mentioned in section 6.14. Otherwise, manual operation will be required to
stop the ballast pump.

7 MAINTENANCE
This chapter contains information on how to perform all normal preventive and corrective
maintenance on the standard Seascape BWMS units.
The procedures are identical for all Seascape BWMS.
The technical descriptions included in this manual are intended to be used by maintenance
technician and/or engineer, with experience in operating and maintaining equipment
onboard ships. It is also strongly recommended that the personnel are familiar with the
basic principles of the Seascape BWMS.
59
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
The maintenance personnel are expected to replace faulty Line Replaceable Units (LRUs)
(UV lamps, sensors, etc.), but not to perform repairs on those LRUs. In order to find the
faulty component, it is also expected that the maintenance personnel have access to
standard electronic instruments.
NOTICE
If your organization (or vessel/rig) does not have the appropriate personnel available, you are strongly advised to
contact either Elite Marine or your dealer for assistance.
WARNING
Elite Marine Corporation accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury to the system, ship or personnel caused by
drawings, instructions and procedures not prepared by Elite Marine.
WARNING
This manual does not describe the maintenance of the peripheral devices (sensors, actuators and valves). For
information about these items, refer to the applicable manufacturer’s documentation.
7.1 GENERAL
7.1.1 SAFETY
Refer to standard company/vessel safety procedures before commencing maintenance
work.
WARNING
After any maintenance work, the system must be checked to ensure it works correctly. Refer to the procedure in the
Commissioning Mode in Section 6.9.
CAUTION
It is very important that you save the log file and store it in a safe place for Port State Control officers to check when
60
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
Make sure the power is switched off, and it must be kept off while the maintenance is

If you need to operate the Seascape BWMS for a long period of time, please check its
operating state of the US system once an hour, and turn off the power immediately if
anything abnormal is discovered.
In case the US system cannot be started or is overheated or damaged, please contact Elite
Marine for support.
DANGER
UV lamps radiate ultraviolet radiation when lit. Only operate the UV lamp when correctly installed inside the EPT
reactor with end caps properly closed.
Never dismount or handle UV lamps before they are completely cooled down. A hot UV lamp is under high internal
pressure, and the risk of bursting exists. A hot lamp could also cause a burn if it is touched.
WARNING
Before installation, check that the UV lamps and quartz sleeves are not broken.
WARNING
UV lamps and quartz sleeves are fragile and can easily become damaged. Exercise great care when handling them. Do
not apply vibrations or shock to the UV lamp. This can cause breakage and shorten lamp life.
DANGER
Broken glass/quartz can also cause severe cuts. Always use protective eye glasses and clean cotton gloves when
handling UV lamps and quartz glass sleeves.
DANGER
UV lamps contain a small amount of mercury (less than 0.2 grams per lamp) and must be handled and disposed of with
66
Operation, Maintenance, and Safety Manual
care. Used UV lamps can be handled and disposed of in the same way as fluorescent lamps. Refer to national
regulations.
If a UV lamp has accidentally been broken, mercury could be spilt. Remove mercury with a special tool such as a
syringe (or use pure sulfur to bind the mercury for easy collection).
Do not allow mercury to come in contact with your eyes or skin. Do not inhale mercury fumes.
Free mercury must be kept in an airtight bottle, and must be disposed of according to national regulations.
In case of having inhaled mercury fumes, consult a doctor and follow medical instructions.
DANGER
It is important that the procedures for locking the equipment are followed to avoid lethal injury during maintenance.
Observe lock-out/tag-out procedures before working inside the Power Cabinet and other devices.
CAUTION
Do not touch the new lamp’s quartz glass by fingers, as stains will affect UV transmittance. Always wear clean gloves
when inserting the UV lamps into the quartz tube.
NOTICE
After UV lamps have been changed, the runtime must be reset. Follow instructions in Section 6.3.1.6.
Wait at least 10 minutes after completed ballast or de-ballast process, to allow the EPT
reactor to cool down to ambient temperature. If the UV lamps are hot, they are under
internal positive pressure and may burst if broken.
DANGER
The EPT reactor must not be under pressure when dismounting the UV lamps.
Burn hazard: UV lamps can be hot and cause burns.

Use Note Matters
Please read the instructions carefully before the filter running.
A. Please make sure you do the pretreatment work of water quality, in order to prevent
filter damage, it is strictly prohibited the particles larger than 5mm into the filtration sterilization
system.
B. The filter must be installed in the pump outlet. The reflux valve must be installed in
the filter’s outlet.
C. The filter’s sewage draining interface must be installed normally closed control valves.
D. The device has the automatic backwash function. Cut off the power when maintain
&clean. Please avoid human injury or electric shock danger caused by automatic operation of
the equipment.
1. The filtration media shouldn’t be the liquid with strong corrosion. And the temperature
shouldn’t be beyond the setting range. Clean the impurities in the system pipe completely before
the raw water flows into the body to keep the inlet pressure stable and in the allowed range.
2. The alarm light is on or there is alarm during the filter operation, that means the screen is
blocked caused by the incomplete cleaning. First, the filter will start back-flushing, if alarm still,
stop water supply. Restart the filter after trouble clearing.
3. Before stopping the filter, please start the cleaning function manually. The filter screen
thoroughly cleaned and fill with fresh water. Then closing down to storage. In winter, please do
the antifreezing measures to prevent the body and high-pressure pump and so on freezing.
4. The filter avoid trouble, we suggest operators cruising at least for 2-3 times in each shift so
that can find the problem in time and take measures to avoid loss.
5. For abnormal running of the equipment caused by the wrong usage and maintenance of the
filter or the wrong working environment, the seller would take no responsibility. The
maintenance fee is afforded by the user.
Product Introduction
The filter is based on the filtration separation principle, independent research and development of
a new generation of products, mainly used in water purification, especially for water quality require a
higher field of microfiltration, the main function of the water can be removed silt, clay, rust,
suspended solids, algae, biological slime, corrosion product, macromolecules of bacteria, organic
matter, and other tiny particles and other impurities to achieve the purpose of water purification.

Technical Parameters
Working technical parameters
Working Principle
1. COARSE FILTER
Under the following conditions, the back-flush function of coarse filter will start:
when the pressure difference between coarse filter's inlet and outlet reaches 40 kPa (calculate by
the pressure difference between Seascape-BWMS's inlet & outlet minus the fine filter's pressure
difference, when it reaches 40 kPa), back-flush function will be started.
for every ten times the fine filter is back-flushed, the coarse filter will back-flush automatically
once.
When performing a coarse filter back-flushing operation, the discharging valve of the coarse
filter will be opened, the large impurities accumulated on the inner side of filter cartridge will be
flushed by the water flow and discharged through the discharging valve. When the back-flushing
complete, the discharging valve is closed again, and the BWMS resume normal operating.
2. FINE FILTER
Under the following conditions, the back-flush function of coarse filter will start:
3
All models of fine filter apply the same setting of auto back flushing function (the back-flushing
will be initiated when pressure difference reaches 10 kPa, a warning will be issued when
pressure difference reaches 60 kPa, an alarm will be issued and the system will be shut down
when pressure difference reaches 80 kPa).
Back-flushing will be initiated if the Seascape-BWMS had operated for 15 continuously Mins
without back-flushing.
C. MANUALLY BACK-FLUSHING
The back-flushing function could also be initiated manually for trouble-shooting & maintenance
purpose
When performing a fine filter back-flushing operation, the multi-stage pump starts, suction and
pressurize the filtered seawater from the filter unit outlet, the pressurized water then enters the
filter from the filter high-pressure water intake port, spray on the filter element from the injection
nozzles on the rotating shaft for flushing. The dirt then is suctioned by the suction nozzles and
discharged. The lifting drives the rotating shaft (and the back-flushing configuration) to move up
and down spirally, which realizes a full range flushing of the entire filter element. The stroke of
the shaft’s up and down movement is controlled by the stroke switch.

7. Reserve the maintenance space all around when install the equipment.
Equipment Debug
1. After the installation of equipment, you can enter into the debug stage.
2. Before debugging, the inlet and outlet valves must be closed. Open bypass valve to flush the
pipe thoroughly. And the impurities sedimentary after construction will be clean to prevent
them accessing to filter system.
3. Please make sure the power and voltage in the normal state and meet the requirements of the
supply and distribution for the equipment.
4. Filter factory, the transmission nut is arranged in the middle of the driving sleeve. When the
power supply is switched on, the motor drive and drives the transmission nut to 1st starting
position(near one end of the drum body)then stop, the high-pressure flushing pump
synchronous work.
5. Firstly, open sewage release valve, slowly open the inlet valve to allow water to enter the
body. Meanwhile, turn on the high-pressure pump exhaust valve and the filter exhaust valve
to exclude the air inside the body and the high-pressure pump. Tighten the exhaust valve
after excluding the air.
6. Slowly close the bypass valve, check whether the filter connected component leakage or not.
Then manually make the first filter cleaning 2-3 times to remove the impurities trapped in
the filter. And observe each part working state in detail. After each part are normal, open the
outlet valve and shut off the sewage outlet valve to put the filter into the operation.
7. The valve of starting the backwashing and fault alarming should be set by the manufacturer.
Normally, the valve of backwashing is set to 0.04MPa and the valve of fault alarming is set
to 0.06MPa.When the pressure difference arrives to 0.04MPa,the filter starts self-cleaning.
8. Please observe several operating cycle of the change of pressure difference and backwash
sewage situation. Record the initial operation pressure difference, flow (under equipped with
flow meter circumstances),back-flush time interval parameter and so on as a future basis for
fault analysis.

Maintenance
1. Dricing system:Observe the driving system regularly to check whether the operation is stable or
not. And the stroke motor connecting bolt is loosenng ot not. Observe whether the oil leakage or
water leakage or not. Change the water sealing in time. And please keep the lubricating oil level in
the driving motor and driving connecting sleeve. Fill 3# lithium based grease into driving motor. Fill
46# anti-wearhydraulic oil to the location of the oil level inspection whole.

Note:It is strictly to be kuncked when take apart driving shaft to avoid influencing sealing function.
2. Backwash system:Open the exhaust valve to fill the water in the pump before the operation of the
pump. The pressure gauge value should be around 2.0Mpa when the high-pressure pump is running.
If the pressure value is too large(that is lager than the value of the high pressure pump’s own pressure
plus the network pressure) that means the high-pressure spray nozzle is clogging. Take apart the
spray nozzle and clean. If the pressure value is lower than 1.8Mpa, that means the high-pressure inlet
sealing is wore out and pressure relief, please replace the sealing. Please check the all joints of high-
pressure backwash has leakage phenomenon or not.
Note:High pressure spray nozzle locating point and the sewage disposal shaft locating point should
be aligned after taking apart the high pressure spraying nozzle and reinstalling. Meanwhile, please
check whether the sealing ring is in good condition or not.
3. Sewage system:Always check whether the sewage outlet is blocked or not. And whether have the
phenomenon such as no sewage or sewage quantity abvious reduction and so on. If it is found the
above situation, please discharge faults in time so as not to affect the filtering affect and resulting in
damage to other components.
4. Eliectronic control system:Fasten pieces of wire and electrical connectors regularly. Cut off the
power supply when maintain the system. Meanwhile, please avoid the water or other liquid flowing
into the control system to cause short-circuits or shock hazard.
5. Sealing components:Water seal and the sealing ring are wearing parts.Please observe whether the
seals are worn or damaged or not. Replace and then assemble. In order to ensure the quality of the
equipment, the seals size and material are our company’s own design and specify the factory to
produce. If you need spare parts, please make sure to contact our company in order to avoid damage
to driving system because of using the improper material.
