This follows the International Maritime Organization\u2019s (IMO) Type Approval for the Aquarius UV system, which was granted in 2012.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis latest USCG approval submission represents a significant milestone for the Aquarius UV product,\u201d said Craig Patrick, sales director, Ballast Water Management Systems at W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving the Aquarius EC system already approved means that W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 is in the unique position of being able to offer customers a choice of technologies, as well as expert advice as to the most suitable BWMS for their particular needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Extensive process<\/strong><\/p>\n The USCG approval process is extensive and involves both land and sea testing. Throughout these tests, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 said that Aquarius UV solution demonstrated effectiveness, robustness and reliability.<\/p>\n The UV technology utilises filtration and ultra-violet (UV) irradiation, while maintaining a high degree of safety and operability. According to W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4, it ensures compliance with regulations, even with varying levels of water quality.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s alternative BWMS technology, the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Aquarius EC (Electro-Chlorination), was granted USCG Type Approval in August 2018 and IMO Type Approval in 2013.<\/p>\n W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s dual technology offers a broad range of BWMS solutions for fleet wide regulatory compliance. Both systems are backed by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s global service network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s Aquarius UV Ballast Water Management System (BWMS) has successfully completed all the required testing procedures and has now been submitted for US Coastguard (USCG) Type Approval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ballast-water-management"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":153,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151\/revisions\/153"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
