The turnkey installation of the unit was completed within 25 days from 24.05.2021 to 18.06.2021.

Damage from pathogenic organisms in the water area of ​​marine and coastal ecosystems is increasing every year. The introduction of cleaning systems is designed to limit the negative impact on the local flora and fauna more effectively and, as a result, on the ecology of the region.

The Alfa Laval PureBallast system works by exposing microorganisms to ultraviolet radiation. Free radicals, generated inside the UV reactor, damage cell membranes as a result of the reaction. This destroys the DNA of microorganisms and their ability to reproduce.
