FOR UNRESTRICTED BALLAST FLOW!

 InTank™ + InVoyage™ Treatment to remain InControl™ & InCompliance with no filters!

Is your BWT compliance strategy working? As time goes by, the “Revised G8” Type Approval distinction is looming and more important than ever to get right! Compliance with the BW regulations goes beyond having the correct paperwork and Certificate, it involves practical compliance; running the BWTS correctly to the conditions listed on the TA Cert and to the OMSM (what we refer to as, “Technical Compliance”) and meeting the D-2 discharge standard (i.e. Biological Compliance). 

The Scienco® InTank™  Ballast Water Treatment System is the only USCG, IMO and Revised G8 Type approved, “in voyage” BWTS. The InTank BWTS allows a vessel to use normal port operations, and maintain complete control over its ballast water compliance. Among all the BWTS offered, this 2nd-generation BWTS is completely different to in-line BWTS. The Scienco® InTank™ treats and neutralizes ballast water in the ballast tanks during the voyage. A small circulation of ballast is drawn aft from one ballast tank at a time, the Active Substance, Sodium Hypochlorite, is added (produced by an EC Cell or from Bulk Chemical storage, or both) to the circulation and returned to the tank. Treatment is monitored using the TRO concentration of the circulated ballast. Treatment is completed during the voyage, neutralization is completed in the day or two before discharge.

The Scienco® InTank™ BWTS provides a commercial vessel with a fundamentally more elegant and secure solution to BW compliance. The vessel and crew will perform at the highest safety, compliance and reliability standards without impacting cargo operations, at the lowest cost possible. Unique, Elegant, Robust.

Operational Benefits:

  • Complete cargo handling and all ballasting operations as normal
  • Filter-free Design with No power use in port
  • Ballast water quality; fresh, turbid, cold etc. does not matter.
  • Gravity ballast or deballast any tanks
  • Complete semi-submersible in place flood and drain without treatment (outside U.S.)
  • Complete automatic treatment cycle when at sea, crew have more time
  • Fix a system problem at sea, no change to port stay

Compliance Benefits:

  • Treatment efficacy is assessed and adjusted for during treatment-treats challenging waters.
  • Treatment and neutralization completed in the tank – Technical Compliance recorded before discharge
  • Vessel controls when treatment is completed, has control over regrowth potential – Biological compliance InControl
  • Fix system issue at sea or complete exchange during voyage in compliance with BWPM.

Installation Benefits:

  • No filters allows very small pump room footprint
  • Only Dosing Module(s) (1m x 1m) installed near ballast line. Other equipment small and distributed
  • Larger vessel on 5+ day voyage can use smaller, cheaper, system size
  • A single system can serve multiple independent pontoons
  • DD installation is not necessary
  • Where a DD is planned much installation work can be completed beforehand.

The mission of Scienco/FAST – just like with our USCG & IMO certified Type II MSDs – is to provide a simple, robust treatment system that assists companies around the world to perform at the highest standards of safety and compliance. By offering the Scienco® InTank™ BWTS, Scienco/FAST will help vessel owners, managers and crew take control of their BW compliance with the least impact to the commercial operation of the vessel. For many vessels InTank offers the most elegant BW compliance solution available, there are also some vessels it will not suit.

The Scienco® InTank™ is unique.  Treating the ballast water during the voyage provides many advantages with less maintenance, oversight, and less power during in port etc.  But also, the Scienco® InTank™ uses different metrics for sizing the equipment appropriately; we will be happy to describe these metrics and equipment to you.

Please contact us, if we can provide a technical presentation or provide the InTank™ solution for your vessel(s), solutions@sciencofast.com.

The treatment process occurs InVoyage™ with no impact to cargo operations. InCompliance™ = InControl™
