Abstract

Within the framework of the Federal Target Program "Development of civil marine equipment" for 2009 - 2016 years, specialists of FSUE "Krylov State Research Centre", CJSC "Central Research Institute of Marine Engineering", "NPO ENT Co" and FSBEI HPE "Russian State Hydrometeorological University" studied various possible methods and modes of transport ships' ballast water treatment, also conducting research and development work on design of marine equipment for ballast water decontamination. The results of this work on the design of ballast waters decontamination system including bench tests of a prototype are provided. 

Keywords: ballast water, neutralization, UV-irradiation, filtration, control system, International Convention, bench testing, experimental design.
