Success factors for ballast water filters
Modern ballast water treatment systems based on chemical or physical processes are always preceded by mechanical cleaning in the form of a filter. This filter prevents the presence of larger organisms and reduces sediments in the ballast water tanks. The more precisely it separates, the less use of e.g. chlorine or UV light fails. Find out why filter media made of metal wire mesh are the ideal solution for efficient pre-filtration and what is important in their development.
These topics await you:
- Background and risks from ballast water
- Ballast water treatment for a high standard
- Success factors for the optimum design of a ballast water filter with metal wire mesh
We address these three success factors in detail:
Capacity
The plant footprint as an indicator of the ideal mesh form
Filter fineness
Maintenance of the separation efficiency is decisive
Selection of the material
The main qualities required are corrosion resistance and suitability for welding

Multi-talent metal wire mesh
The mesh consists of a pre-defined combination of warp and weft wires which produce various mesh geometries according to selection of the wires as well as the mesh pattern. It is, above all, possible to precisely define exact geometrical structures, their pore sizes and therefore the material and through flow properties. It allows a consistent filter performance across the whole filter surface and is versatile to work with.
