BWT system secures IMO type approval utilizing US standards

摘要

The Trojan Marinex ballast water treatment (BWT) product suite has obtained IMO type approval already in March this year. It was granted from classification society Det Norske Veritas (meanwhile DNV GL) on behalf of the Norwegian Maritime Directorate. »We are the largest UV company in the world, and are committed to providing pioneering water treatment technologies that meet the highest standards and help protect and preserve our environment,« said Marvin DeVries, President of Trojan Technologies. »The IMO type-approved Trojan Marinex product suite is a reflection of our forward-looking commitment to our customers. We performed our certification process, in every way possible, to the rigorous standards required by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), supporting our goal of achieving US type approval this year. Testing was successfully completed in the most challenging conditions. This dispels the myth that UV cannot be used in the poorest of water qualities and gives vessel owners the confidence and reassurance they deserve, knowing that their operations will be unencumbered,« he explained.
