PureBallast, Alfa Laval's chemical-free system for ballast water treatment, has already demonstrated its suitability for a wide range of vessel types. Now, Alfa Laval has received the first order for PureBallast 2500, the largest version of the system, to be installed aboard the arctic drillship, 'Stena DrillMAX ICE'.
Featuring a flow rate of 2500 cubic metres per hour, the PureBallast 2500 system will provide more than double the capacity of any previous PureBallast version. This makes it not only the largest PureBallast system, but also one of the largest ballast water treatment systems of any kind to be sold.
The order, which places Alfa Laval among just a handful of suppliers entrusted for massive-capacity treatment, comes from Samsung Heavy Industries on behalf of Stena Drilling. The PureBallast system will be delivered in June 2010 to the Geoje shipyard, where it will be installed aboard the 'Stena DrillMAX ICE'.
