Langh Tech launches UV-C BWMS system

Langh Tech has launched a type-approved ballast water management system that includes a 20 micron filtration mesh and effective UV-C irradiation treatment. The system is tailored to meet the requirements of the retrofit market, which often feature crowded spaces and extremely challenging operating conditions.

Langh Tech has already passed all the required land-based test for USCG and IMO approvals. The tests were done by DNV at the NIVA testing facility in Norway. The shipboard testing of the system will be completed soon. It is being carried out in the Baltic Sea area, which is a challenging environment for ballast water treatment. The LanghBW system has a zero hour hold time before discharge in IMO areas and 24 hours in USCG areas.

Manufacturing of the UV reactors takes place at the Langh Tech production facilities close to Turku in Finland. The flow rate of available systems varies from 100 m³/h to 1800 m³/h. In the same facilities Langh Tech also manufactures the water treatment units for closed loop SOx scrubbers.

“At the moment we have available production capacity and can offer short delivery times for both SOx scrubber systems and BWMS”, says Laura.
