www.coldharbourmarine.com
Coldharbour Marine provides a number of key technologies to the marine sector, including 3rd generation, ultra clean and ultra-compact Inert Gas Generator systems for cargo blanketing applications and ballast water treatment (BWT) systems for large tankers, LPG/LNG vessels and IGG equipped bulkers.
The Coldharbour BWT system is unique amongst all such systems in that it is the only system designed specifically for use on large tankers. It uses inert gas, linked to innovative, in-tank, gas-generated ultrasonics to treat the ballast water in the ballast tanks during the voyage, rather than the more common practice of treating the water in-line during ballast uptake.
Available for new build and retrofit, the advantages of this approach are considerable: No disruption to ballasting or de-ballasting operations, no additional power generation capacity required, no changes to ballast pumps or ballast lines and no requirement for filtration. Moreover, flexible treatment times are available to counter any changes in either seawater condition or variations in local regulatory requirements for ballast water discharge standards in the future.
