BSKY BWMS (Skid Model)
WUXI BRIGHTSKY has developed a modular ballast water management system (BSKY™ BWMS) that operates in line during the uptake of ballast water and again at discharge (de ballasting ). The major disinfection principle is through UV radiation without any chemical addition. The BSKY™ BWMS is the most suitable and appropriate Ballast Water Management System for ships with ballast flow rates from 100m3/ hr up to 6,000m3/ hr and even more and will perform to maximum effectiveness. This reliable system is highly flexible, due to its modular and compact design. BSKY™ BWMS is possible to change the system appearance in accordance with installation space and requirement of user. So, BSKY™ BWMS design is well suited for all size and types of retrofit as well as in new build applications. The BSKY™ BWMS is composed of pre treatment and post treatment modules to disinfect aquatic species in the ballast water . The treatment system comprises Hydrocyclone filtration in combination with ultrasonic (US) oscillation for filter self cleaning , and ultraviolet radiation also in combination with ultrasonic for self cleaning of UV lamps . Due to the highly efficient combination of US oscillation and UV radiation the BSKY™ BWMS technology can abstain from any reparations or chemical additives, which may pose a hazard to the population and/or to the environment.

Hydrocyclone Unit
Hydrocyclone is a device used to separate particles in a liquid suspension based on the density and size of the particles. It is easy to operate and maintain, and have no moving parts or screens. Hydrocyclone uses a tangential injection flow process, enhancing the centrifugal forces and moving particles outwards.
- First stage prefilter
- Possible to remove solid particle(≥10 ㎛) & plankton(≥50 ㎛)
- To adjust capacity by parallel arrangement
US(Ultrasound) Unit
The Ultrasound effect produces high temperature of 1900~5200k and high pressure of more than 500atm. This extreme Ultrasound effect breaks microorganism’s cell wall to enhance the disinfection effect of UV unit.
- Ultrasound(US) processes are purely physical processes
- The use of cavitation does not increase corrosion in ship compartments
- Brushing or other means of cleaning is dispensable
- Fast, highly efficient cleaning
- Maintenance free, no personnel training needed
- Extremely low energy consumption
UV(Ultra Violet) Unit
The ‘BSKY™ BWMS UV module’ is designed to provide an average dose over 167mJ/cm2. This average dose to be effective for disinfection is calculated using the expected end of lamp life intensity of the UV lamp. BWMS through the use of UV is repeatedly proven to be effective against zooplankton, phytoplankton, bacteria and viruses. In addition, “UV irradiation is an attractive, rapid means of disinfection, as it leaves no harmful residues”.
- Rated Capacity: 300 ~ 1,500 [m3/hr]
- Application to various capacities by serial & parallel arrangement
- Completely sterilize all bacteria and organisms remaining after 1&2 stage filtration
- No remaining toxicity
- Remarkable disinfection effect
- Easy maintenance & operation
