EC BWMS 8000m3h LR-approved

Cathelco EC BWMS 8000m3h LR-approved is identified in the source list as a electrochlorination bwms. It is installed in the ballast-water treatment plant between sea suction, ballast pumps, ballast tanks and discharge piping according to the vessel's approved BWMS arrangement. Its purpose is to treat ballast water using the process identified by the category so uptake and discharge meet the approved environmental performance standard. The source record provides a stated power of 240.0 kW. Treatment reactors, filters where fitted, cells or lamps, sensors, valves, control software and sampling points form part of a certified system whose configuration must remain controlled. The exact model designation and any source-listed power or capacity distinguish treatment throughput and process configuration from neighboring BWMS variants; refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

●Treatment reactor, ultraviolet lamp or electrolytic-cell deterioration caused by aging, fouling or electrical faults, resulting in low treatment output or an alarm
●Filter blockage where fitted caused by sediment or biological loading, resulting in rising differential pressure, backflush cycling or reduced ballast flow
●Sensor or sampling fault caused by fouling, calibration drift or blocked lines, resulting in implausible readings or automatic treatment shutdown
●Valve, actuator or flow-control failure caused by corrosion, sticking or control faults, resulting in incorrect routing or insufficient treatment contact
●Control-system or communication failure caused by software, network or power-supply faults, resulting in unavailable automatic operation or persistent alarms

Service & Maintenance

Inspect treatment reactors, filters, sensors, valves, pumps and control panels according to the approved BWMS maintenance plan. Keep ultraviolet sleeves, electrolytic cells or filter elements clean as applicable to the installed process. Verify flow, treatment-status and sampling indications and investigate recurring bypass or low-treatment alarms. Function-test automatic valves and record any bypass or treatment interruption in accordance with vessel procedures. Maintain calibration and service records for compliance-critical sensors. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for treatment limits, cleaning criteria, consumables and calibration values.
