Optimarin OBS is a compact UV ballast water treatment system that uses auto‑cleaning quartz sleeves to disinfect ballast water, offering a retrofit‑friendly solution with low power demand. As a BWMS, it is normally installed on exposed deck, shell openings, mooring stations or cargo-access areas according to the vessel structural arrangement. In that role, its primary purpose is to guide, secure, close, drain, ventilate or provide access as identified by the listed fitting type. Bollards, fairleads, chocks, doors, hatches, pipes and covers perform different structural functions, so their load path, sealing and securing details must follow the vessel drawings. Power: 30 kW; capacity: 100-3000 m³/h. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
