Title | Ballast Water Treatment |
Knowhow is available for | A mechanical process (based on hydrodynamic cavitation) which can be used to kill micro-organisms and purify ballast water released from ships/ to produce drinking water from a contaminated source |
Summary | An apparatus which can filtrate and disinfect sea water/ ship's ballast water -Based on a mechanical process that kills micro-organisms to the required levels, using hydrodynamic cavitation and rupture of cavities to kill micro-organisms -Can also be used in making potable drinking water from a contaminated source |
Advantages | -Eco-friendly as using hydrodynamic cavitations without using any chemicals, UV or ultrasound -No harmful by-products -Efficient disinfection technology -One of the best alternatives to current technology -Economical -Easily installed on the vessel- minimum area for installation as filtration and disinfection happen in a single equipment |
