BIO-UV Group wins major BWTS order

A modular version from the BIO-SEA B-Series, combining mechanical filtration and UV disinfection, has been ordered by an unnamed offshore drilling contractor based in the United Arab Emirates and will be installed on the vessels in India later this year.

“We are delighted to have received this latest order for our BIO-SEA B system from an operator in the very demanding offshore energy sector,” said Laurent-Emmanuel Migeon, chief executive of BIO-UV Group.

“This market has extremely high expectations and standards when it comes to HSE as well as quality and performance. This order demonstrates clearly that our UV + Filtration ballast water treatment solutions are extremely relevant for the market, for relatively high flowrate capacities.”

This is reportedly the latest in a string of orders for ballast water treatment systems that the maritime division of BIO-UV Group has received from the oil and gas sector which BIO-UV attributes to an uptick in the sector following the extended downturn of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The BIO-SEA units to be supplied provide for flow capacities of up to 750m3/h and the order also includes spare parts and service arrangements.

“We offer safe and sustainable Ballast Water Treatment System solutions that are chemical-free,” said Migeon. “We have built our state-of-the-art solutions on more than 20 years of experience in UV water treatment and disinfection.”
