Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Electrolytic cell fouling or scaling reducing hypochlorite generation efficiency
  • Electrode wear over service life requiring periodic renewal
  • TRO (total residual oxidant), flow, or salinity sensor drift causing incorrect dosing
  • Upstream strainer/filter fouling reducing throughput to the electrolysis unit
  • Neutralization dosing errors near discharge where a neutralization stage is fitted
  • Control system/PLC faults causing incorrect ballasting cycle sequencing
  • Cell housing seal or gasket leaks under pressure cycling

Inspection checklist

  • Verify TRO sensor calibration against an independent test kit
  • Check electrode condition, cell voltage, and current against commissioning baseline values
  • Inspect and clean upstream strainers/filters
  • Verify flow meter calibration
  • Check neutralization chemical dosing (if fitted) and stock levels
  • Function-test alarms for low TRO, high TRO, and general system faults
  • Review the Ballast Water Record Book and IMO/USCG type-approval compliance records
  • Inspect cell housing seals/gaskets for leaks
  • Verify salinity sensor calibration, since electrolysis output depends on it
  • Confirm ventilation of the electrolysis/treatment space is functioning

Service intervals

Electrode/cell inspectiontypically annually, per De Nora's service schedule
TRO and flow sensor calibrationtypically every 6-12 months or per maker recommendation
Strainer/filter cleaningtypically weekly to monthly on differential-pressure indication, depending on water quality
Neutralization chemical replenishment (if fitted)per consumption, checked at least monthly
Electrode renewaltypically every several years of active service depending on running hours and water conditions - confirm against De Nora's stated electrode life

Typical wear limits

Cell voltage/current drawflag for electrode inspection once readings drift more than roughly 15-20% from the commissioning baseline at the same flow and salinity - confirm against De Nora's own trending guidance
TRO sensor responseflag for cleaning/calibration once response time or reading noticeably lags an independent handheld test
Strainer differential pressureflag for cleaning once differential pressure exceeds the maker's stated threshold for this capacity

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • TRO sensor
  • Flow sensor
  • Salinity sensor
  • Electrode/cell unit rated for this capacity
  • Strainer basket/filter elements
  • Cell housing seals and gaskets

Safety

  • Hypochlorite/chlorine gas generation in the electrolysis process - space ventilation must be maintained and functional at all times
  • Corrosive electrolyte solution handling requires appropriate PPE
  • Electrical hazards at the power supply unit driving the electrolytic cells
  • Ventilation-fault interlocks must never be bypassed
  • Confined-space precautions apply if entering associated tanks or compartments

Class survey

Surveys of BWMS installations typically check the validity of the IMO Type Approval Certificate, correct entries in the Ballast Water Record Book, functional alarm tests, and that any system faults or bypasses have been logged and reported per the vessel's Ballast Water Management Plan.

Estimated lifetime: BWTS units of this type are typically designed for the vessel's operating life with periodic electrode and sensor renewal. Electrode life is commonly discussed in years of active ballasting service rather than continuous running hours - confirm actual electrode life against De Nora's service data.

Request a quote for this model.

Free of charge — we forward your request to qualified suppliers for De Nora equipment from our network of over 114,000 maritime companies.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we usually come back with prices; without them we have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.

Frequently asked

Three things people ask first.

Is this model's data free?

Yes. Specifications, documents and service notes for this model are readable without an account. An account adds saved searches and requests, nothing is taken away.

Can you find a part for this exact model?

Yes. Tell us the manufacturer, the model and what you need — our desk asks the right suppliers from a network of over 114,000 companies and comes back with a quote or a sourcing plan.

The specifications look wrong — what now?

Send us the nameplate or the correct value. We check it against the manufacturer datasheet or class-society record and update the page.
