Globally, a wide variety of chemical and physical processes are used to disinfect water. As innovators turned to the task of ballast water treatment, common disinfection technologies were adapted for shipboard use. These processes have been studied extensively in land-based applications, and their benefits, drawbacks, and optimal conditions for use have been widely documented. Each of these technologies are very well-suited for disinfection in certain water conditions. However, disinfection of ballast water presents unique challenges as the quality and characteristics of water found in a ship’s ballast will be inconsistent depending on ballasting location. This presentation will highlight the operating conditions in specific waters that are favorable and unfavorable for each ballast water management system (BWMS) method and discuss the impact of the water treatment on the vessel and crew.
