Ballast Water Treatment
Ballast Treatment: maintaining the oceans ecosystem.
Specialising in the evolution of intelligent mechanical filtration systems for industry, Filtersafe® now offers over 10 years’ experience specifically in ballast water treatment, bringing an unrivalled economy, value and environmental responsibility to seawater filtration. From improving component technology through to the provision of dedicated pre- and after-sales service, Filtersafe® provides a viable, functionally superior and low-cost alternative to many conventional filtration methods.
Filtersafe® supplies to a multitude of ballast water treatment companies worldwide, many of which are based in Scandinavia, Europe and USA, and which operate within an estimated $260-400 million annual filtration market.
We’re one of the very few companies to have responded to the challenge of developing self-cleaning automatic filtration solutions specifically for this now highly-regulated application.
All Filtersafe® products incorporate leading edge, state-of-the-art components, with advanced technology and proven performance levels providing the base to combat marine bio-invasions in the movement of water.
At the heart of each ballast water treatment system, lies the market-leading BSF-Series Automatic Electric Filter.
