Scienco/FAST launches portable BWTS

InTankFITT Container is designed to address the growing regulatory and operational challenges in ballast water management, and is being hailed by the companies as a major advancement in maritime technology.

“The application for the SciencoFAST InTank Container is for up to 50,000 DWT, which is a significant portion of the market,” explained senior vice president, Rudy Mes.

“UniBallast offers this as both a product and a service, and this new capability not only simplifies ballast water management but empowers ship-owners and operators to achieve compliance with confidence and ease.”

The new system has the following features:

• A compact and portable, preassembled design.
• Twice-checked treatment and recording before discharge to ensure regulatory compliance.
• A filterless designed which eliminates the need for a complex and lengthy filtration process, reducing operational downtime and maintenance requirements.
• A scalable and flexible design which can be mounted on deck or on a temporary platform making it ideal for retrofits and temporary applications.

The system’s compact design allows it to be housed in a standard 20-foot container, facilitating worldwide shipping. InTank water treatment is not linked to ballast operations, removing stress during intake and discharge.
