In case of a leak, make sure that no any equipment that can be damaged is
exposed.
Before installation, operators should be aware of the contents of this manual. Mechanical installation
must be completed before the electrical.
Operation - Maintenance
The system must be operated and maintained by authorized personnel only. All work and
modifications to the system must be approved by the manufacturer.
Under no circumstances should the equipment be under power or pressure when work is performed.
Before the startup of the BWTS, make sure that nobody is at risk. Take all necessary measures to ensure
that the BWTS is used only in a safe and reliable state.

2-1920-2x2002EX Equipment Operation & Technical manual –Vol I Rev. 01
Once per day check the BWTS for obvious damage and defects. In case of a noticeable damage
or a significant and unusual change in the operation of the unit, stop immediately the BWTS and refer
to the troubleshooting table. In case the ship’s crew is unable to bring the system to its normal
operation then contact the manufacturer.
All electrical equipment of BWTS must be inspected at regular periods. Defects like loose connections
or scorched cables should be repaired without any delay.
Ensure that the BWTS is completely switched off before any maintenance and
repair work.
The main switch is to be fitted with a warning sign “Work in progress on the
electrical system” and the main switch must be secured against switching on
again.
Note: The BWTS is exclusively designed to treat ballast water and it should not
be used for other purposes. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
any damage caused from such use. The risk of such misuse lies upon the user.
When lifting the Unit, make sure that a Lifting Hook with Safety Clutch is used.

The packing fully insures the protection of the equipment during transportation and storage and can
be removed manually.
After unpacking, check that the equipment is intact and that there is no visible damage.
Dispose of all packing material in an environmentally correct manner
If the unit is to be stored for a long period of time, it should be kept inside the packing. The location
of the storage should be free from dust, frost, extreme heat/sunlight (50°C and above) and vibrations.
If the BWTS is used and then be inactive for a long time then all components should be fully drained
and dried, preferably flushing it with water-the skid components are self-drained when ballasting
mode is finished, only the pre-filter needs to be drained manually, by removing the flange on air-vent
connection or differential pressure switch flange (depending on the pre-filter installation orientation).
The pumps of the system should be drained and a small quantity of light oil should be injected in the
shafting box after loosening the glad packing.*

Basic Rules
Compliance with ERMA FIRST basic rules of safety is mandatory.
Confined spaces shall be identified and written procedures established
and followed for entry.
A confined space is an enclosed area with the following characteristics:
• Limited access and egress (exit)
• Large enough and so configured that a person can enter the space
• Not designed for continuous employee occupancy; examples include
storage tank, process vessel, sewer, tunnel, vault, pipeline etc.
Confined spaces pose limitations on working conditions because of the
restricted space for equipment and people working on them. Confined
spaces must be identified and a procedure established for safe
employee entry and rescue of employees from the confined space in
case of emergency.
Fall protection
Employees shall use fall protection when exposed to a fall hazard (working
at an elevated level of 2 meters (6 feet) or more).

The Transformer/ Rectifier is water cooled. In case there is no water circulation (no
water or no circulation) the temperature safety within T/R will shut down the power
modules (within 1-2 min)

2-1920-2x2002EX Equipment Operation & Technical manual –Vol I Rev. 01
If a fault has occurred in the rectifier, it can often be traced on the basis of the fault symptoms to a
particular main unit, sub-unit or component, which can then be replaced or repaired.
The POWER GOOD LED on the power module with an alarm/warning is:
▪ Blinking, if the alarm/warning is active.
▪ Turned off, if the power module has had an alarm/warning.
▪ Isn’t turned on again until the rectifier is restarted and the reason for alarm/warning has
disappeared.
Check if the POWER GOOD LED on the power module is lit after restart.
Tip:
Ιf the mains loses a phase, the rectifier works on low load, with increasing load, the rectifier sends a
warning and blink all LEDs on the power modules missing a phase.
If the warning is high temperature either in power modules or in control modules the power modules
LEDs will blink and a message will appear in the display. This can be an indication that the cooling
water to the rectifier isn’t enough or not turned on at all.
If the fault cannot be traced to a particular component, the quickest way is usually to divide the
rectifier into main parts and start by checking the main part closest to the supply network, then work
through the rectifier, finishing with the main part closest to the load.

V1-02 opens and water goes through the BWTS. Once the flow switch (FS) detects flow and the flow
meter (FM) monitors flow >20%, the transformer/ rectifier (T/R) sends current to the electrolytic cell (C)
- which initiates the production of TRO. V1-03 is open and the water is sent to the ballast tanks.
The parameters monitored during ballasting are:
I. Salinity range
II. Inlet pressure
III. Outlet pressure
IV. Flow rate
V. Temperature
VI. TRO concentration
VII. BWTS interlocks
VIII. Filter manual flushing
IX. Hydrogen concentration
X. Valve arrangement
Regarding the outlet pressure, an attention alarm may be activated during ballasting, in case there
is a Pressure outlet broken wire (no signal from PIT2 for 3 sec), an attention alarm indication appears
on screen in order to warn the operator.

2-1920-2x2002EX Equipment Operation & Technical manual –Vol I Rev. 01
In case there is a broken wire on the flow switch (no signal from FS for 3sec) an audible (critical) alarm
is activated along with the Alarm indication on screen and the system stops operating.
6.4.2.4 Temperature
Temperature is monitored in order to keep track of the temperature to which the equipment is
exposed, as well as to protect the electrolytic cell’s housing.
Regarding the temperature, the following alarms may be activated during ballasting.
• Measuring low temperature (T<1°C), an attention alarm indication appears on screen,
warning the operator to check electrical and signal connections of the component.
• If there is a Temperature broken wire (no signal for T for 3 sec), an audible (critical) alarm is
activated along with the Alarm indication on screen and the system stops operating
• Measuring high temperature (T>40°C), an audible (critical) alarm is activated along with the
Alarm indication on screen and the system stops operating.

Following the termination of ballasting process, shutter valve PRV opens for 10 seconds, in order to
de-pressurize the system.
Note: For the first 10 minutes (10 min) of BWTS ballasting operation a small variation of TRO
and current applied on the electrolytic cells might occur due to algorithm
adjustment. This variation during BWTS initialization time does not affect the
efficiency of BWTS.
When it’s time to stop the ballast operation, first stop the ballast pump(s), then
close pump’s discharge valve and last set BWTS to OFF mode.

Following the termination of ballasting process, shutter valve PRV opens for 10 seconds, in order to
de-pressurize the system.
Note: For the first 10 minutes (10 min) of BWTS ballasting operation a small variation of TRO
and current applied on the electrolytic cells might occur due to algorithm
adjustment. This variation during BWTS initialization time does not affect the
efficiency of BWTS.
When it’s time to stop the ballast operation, first stop the ballast pump(s), then
close pump’s discharge valve and last set BWTS to OFF mode.

Operator must arrange ballast piping valves in such way that flow is directed from ballast tanks, to
ballast pump and then to overboard.
Steps for the operator:
• Set BWTS to De-Ballast mode
• Select means of de-ballasting: PUMPS
• Start BP1 and/or BP2
• Make sure that the eductor is not operating
Figure 53: De-ballasting mode (normal condition) with BP1 and/or BP2, BWTS Control Panel 1 arrangement
During de-ballasting the BWTS is by-passed, and only the neutralizing and sampling stages are
operating. Sample is taken to check if the remaining TRO concentration exceeds MADC, in which
case neutralizing agent is injected. A second sample is taken to confirm that TRO levels are <MADC,
otherwise the quantity of the neutralizing agent which is injected increases.
The only parameters monitored during de-ballasting are:
1. Chlorine (TRO) concentration
2. Dosing pump

7 Alarms
There are two categories of Alarms, Attention and Critical.
In case BWTS Attention Alarm is triggered the system still remains in operation but the attention of
BWTS operator is required. Attention alarms are self-reset.
In case BWTS Critical Alarm is triggered, the bypass valve opens and the inlet/ outlet valves of the
system close automatically. At the same time, power to electrolytic cell is shut down. In addition an
audible and visual alarm is given to BWTS control panels warning the operator of the alarm and
system bypass. The operator should check the critical alarms data log, identify the cause and
perform corrective action if needed. Then by setting the main switch to OFF the alarm is reset and
BWTS can be set again to ballast operation.
The BWTS Critical or Attention alarms during ballasting/de-ballasting mode are recorded in BWTS data
logger and represented in the critical or attention alarm panel on the HMI. The exact time on which
the alarm was activated is also recorded in ACTIVE column. A message next to the alarm event helps
the operator to identify the problem causing the alarm and then perform the necessary actions to
correct it. In case the alarm is more complicated the operator should advise the BWTS
troubleshooting list and in some cases the third party manufacturers manual.
When the event triggering the critical or attention alarm is corrected, the alarm will be deactivated
and the exact time of alarm deactivation is recorded and represented in the RETURN column.

8 Maintenance schedules
The BWTS operation is automatic and all the components except the filter have no moving parts.
Therefore almost no BWTS specialized time consuming maintenance is required. Routine
maintenance can be undertaken by the crew, service engineers are not required.
In case of component malfunction the BWTS control panel will activate an alarm which in
conjunction with the troubleshooting table will indicate maintenance actions to be performed.
Moreover, each component’s maintenance procedure is described in the component
manufacturers’ manuals. A list of periodically scheduled actions is presented below.
Neutralizing Check quantity Check and confirm that there is adequate quantity and
agent that the chemical is in liquid condition.

Ship Specific installation is to be considered using the Latest Theoretical Hydrogen Calculation Model
as described above.
Methodology
The calculations have been based on the worst-case scenario. This is when the following conditions
apply:
a) ERMA FIRST FIT works on its maximum Treated Rated Capacity (TRC)
b) The water enters vessel smallest tank
c) The chlorine concentration is at the maximum (6 mg/L)
Results
Column G on the following Figure depicts the percentage of the Tank filling and Column V the Total
Hydrogen concentration (%) that is below the L.E.L. (4% v/v).
Note/Attention
Adequate safety measures are to be provided if deemed necessary by the designer or installer such
as: a) Tank entry and confined space entry procedures are to be developed or adhered with if in
place, b) Adequate venting arrangement is to be considered for enclosed areas.

Approval Conditions
• The intended location of the ERMA FIRST FIT model on board any ship is to be suitable and in compliance
with the Class Rule requirements for such a location and where an explosive atmosphere may be present,
the installation is to be of a type providing protection against ignition of the gases. Its connection into the
ship’s system, including the electrical system, is to be shown on the ship’s plans which are to be submitted
for approval. Manufacturer’s instructions and certification details showing appropriate compliance are to be
followed.
• Hydrogen is a by-product of the ERMA FIRST FIT treatment process. The risk of hydrogen accumulation
and formation of potential explosive atmosphere including venting arrangements for ship specific
installation is to be considered. Ship specific installation is to be considered using ERMA FIRST
theoretical hydrogen calculation model. Adequate safety measures are to be provided if deemed necessary
by the designer or installer such as:
a. Tank entry and confined space entry procedures are to be developed or adhered with if in place.
• The use of non-metallic / plastic materials within the ERMA FIRST FIT system in particular the Electrolytic
Chlorination Unit is to be in accordance with Part 5 Chapter 12 Section 5 of Lloyd's Register Rules and
Regulations for the Classification of Ships.
• Installation survey and commissioning is to be conducted for each installation on board ships in accordance

In accordance with regulation 4 of the Convention, for all ships, new installation of materials which contain asbestos shall be prohibited. According to the UN recommendation "Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)" adopted by the United Nations Economic and Social Council's Sub-Committee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals
(UNSCEGHS), the UN's Sub-Committee of Experts, in 2002 (published in 2003), carcinogenic mixtures classified as Category 1A (including asbestos mixtures) under the GHS are required to be labelled as carcinogenic if the
ratio is more than 0.1%. However, if 1% is applied, this threshold value should be recorded in the Inventory and, if available, the Material Declaration and can be applied not later than five years after the entry into force
of the Convention. The threshold value of 0.1% need not be retroactively applied to those Inventories and Material Declarations.
Materials required by "REGULATION (EU) No 1257/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 20 November 2013 on ship recycling and amending Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006 and Directive
2009/16/EC: The format for the following materials is subject to the modification according to any amendment or supplement of the regulation, including the provision of threshold levels.
