A system that is easily installed in both newbuild and existing ships
Hatenboer-Water of The Netherlands says that it has received an order for its GloEn-Patrol ballast water treatment system from Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding for a new Dutch Royal Navy Joint Support Ship (JSS).
The JSS ballast water system has a capacity of 1,400m/h. The decision was made to place two identical 700m3/h installations in parallel, one on the port side and one on the starboard side. The systems can function independently from one another, guaranteeing a backup capability, or they can be linked. The GloEn-Patrol system employs filtration to remove suspended particulates and UV-C radiation to destroy micro-organisms. The system is fully IMO certified.
Hatenboer says that the complete system is easily installed in both newbuild and existing ships, and can be supplied ready-built and tested on skids to meet specific requirements. Installations are available to treat 150 to 1,000m/h of ballast water, and by installing parallel systems it is possible to treat up to 6,000m/h.
In addition to the ballast water treatment, Hatenboer-Water says that it is also supplying the JSS drinking water system, which comprises the complete drinking water production, distribution and after-treatment to ensure the quality of the water.
The JSS will be the largest vessel in the Dutch navy’s fleet, at 204.7m length oa, 28m longer and 10,000tonne heavier than the HMS Johan de Witt, for which. Hatenboer-Water also provided the complete drinking water supply system. The tasks of the JSS will include replenishment at sea, sea transport and sea basing.
The company says that the addition of ballast water treatment to its range of systems is a logical step. The organization was set up at the beginning of the last century to supply drinking water. More than 100 years later the company has grown to be an international player in the water treatment market.
