Tests on the BALPURE system are being completed in the NSF Independent Laboratory at the Maritime Environmental Resource Centre (MERC) in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
Lawrence Quinn, CEO at De Nora Water Technologies, said: \u201cGetting both of these sets of testing underway ensures we are on track with our approvals timeline for full type approval from class societies, IMO and the USCG in 2017.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe anticipate land-based testing to be completed with multiple filter suppliers and in all three salinities required this year with shipboard testing to follow shortly after, dependent on the weather conditions and its effect on the organisms present in the water along the route of the vessel the tests are being conducted on.\u201d<\/p>\n
De Nora BALPURE is being tested with filters from multiple suppliers and has already completed one of the three salinities required by the land-based testing.<\/p>\n
It has been tested both by class societies and legislators, and has already secured IMO Type-Approval as well as type-approval from Lloyd\u2019s Register, ABS and Bureau Veritas.<\/p>\n
The BALPURE system has been selected for 48 new build LNG vessels and tankers and has recently been chosen for the retrofit of seven vessels.<\/p>\n
Mr Quinn concluded: \u201cDe Nora has installed thousands of seawater electrolytic anti-fouling systems globally across multiple applications including LNG Terminals and coastal power systems.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are therefore extremely confident that the BALPURE system will continue to progress successfully through this process and meet the most stringent standards upheld by the USCG.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
