HB Hunte
Engineering has been contracted by the shipping company Lehmann from Lübeck,
Germany, for the complete Basic- and Detail Engineering including the electro-technical planning for the retro-fit of ballast water
treatment systems (BWTS) on the ships of their entire fleet.
Lehmann has opted for ballast treatment systems of type OBS 334-370 BK from the
BWTS manufacturer Optimarin.
This BWTS is following the filtration- and UV-Radiation principle.
During ballast water up-take the water is filtered in the automatic back
flushing filter (blue component on the displayed picture), organisms and
particles are removed, the water is then directed to the UV-Reactor (horizontal
arranged, grey components) where due to the UV-Radiation a biological
disinfection, eliminating remaining small organisms, bacteria and viruses is
realized.
During ballast
water discharge, it passes through the UV reactors again. Both processes ensure
that there is no carry-over of invasive species.
We are pleased that Lehmann shipping company was able to successfully install
the system on the Husumer shipyard on its first ship, MS Karin Lehmann. They confirmed
to us that the installation was executed in accordance with HB Hunte’s detailed
installation planning.
HB Hunte Engineering uses its own 3D scanner to capture the installation
environment and to plan and realize the integration of the complete BWTS into
existing ships. This process allows to pre- manufacture and galvanize all pipes
apart from a few remaining fitting-pipes based on the workshop documentation.
This significantly
reduces the installation time in the shipyard, which saves time and thus money.
HB
Hunte Engineering has already carried out the engineering for the BWTS retro-fits
for over 60 systems from diverse BWTS manufacturers on a wide variety of ships.
Use our experience, we would be happy to support you.
