Remote alarm reporting system responsive to stoppage of ballast water management operation on ships

摘要

This paper reviews ballast water treatment systems regarding functional and operational problems. Ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) could be in failure or under repair. New invented sensors based on flow measurement methodologies should report malfunctions utilizing satellites. This invention is the solution concerning the quality control of ship's ballast water, and this is the system which would timely and with a higher degree of certainty establish the quality of ballast water treatment operations on ships. The system according to this invention is autonomous in relation to the ship's crew and eliminates a possibility that the members of the ship's crew influence the control of the ballast water, and it excludes the possibility of concealing a possible defect or irregular operation of the device for ballast water management.
