Damen Green Solutions and Evoqua Water Technologies will launch the DAMEN BALCON EC 1500 powered by the SeaCURE® ballast water management system (BWMS) at SMM Hamburg 2016.
The BALCON containerised BWMS, which is designed to fit within a single TEU, was developed by Damen following customer demands for fast plug and play installation in the shipyard.
Damen originally launched the BalCon portable BWMS system in June last year, with a capacity requirement range from 100m3 up to 750m3 per hour.
The soon to be launched DAMEN BALCON EC 1500 BWMS has a footprint of 20” container for a 1500 m³ per hour treatment capacity.
It is a compact solution for ships with limited space below deck. This makes this BWMS well-suited for tanker vessels (with submergible ballast pumps), where there is typically no space available for placement of the BMWS
A unique selling point of this solution is the fact that it can also be used as a temporary system on vessels that are nearing the end of their life cycle and only need to bridge a short period before they are being taken out of service.
