Ingenieurbüro Nibbe - Ballast Water Treatment Systems.

Approved agent of Panasia Co., LTD.

Cruise ships, large tankers, and bulk cargo carriers use a tremendous amount of ballast water, which is often taken on in the coastal waters in one region after ships discharge wastewater or unload cargo, and discharged at the next port of call, wherever more cargo is loaded. Ballast water discharge typically contains a variety of biological materials, including plants, animals, viruses, and other microorganisms. These materials often include non-native, nuisance, exotic species that can cause extensive ecological and economic damage to aquatic ecosystems.

Ballast water discharges are believed to be the leading source of invasive species in U.S. marine waters, thus posing public health and environmental risks, as well as significant economic cost to industries such as water and power utilities, commercial and recreational fisheries, agriculture, and tourism. Studies suggest that the economic cost just from introduction of pest mollusks (zebra mussels, the Asian clam, and others) to U.S. aquatic ecosystems is more than $6 billion per year.

Ignenieurbüro Nibbe offers in cooperation with PANASIA Co., LTD the Ballast Water Treatment System GloEN-Patrol^TM to meet these new challenges. We are able to offer the GloEN-Patrol-System with the capabilities from 150 m³/h bis 6.000 m³/h
