PureBallast 3.1

Pure confidence in ballast water treatment

PureBallast 3.1 provides leading ballast water treatment performance, which gives your vessel freedom of movement. Combined with Alfa Laval’s global supply and service strengths, that gives you total peace of mind. Alfa Laval has a complete range of PureBallast 3.1 solutions with IMO and U.S. Coast Guard type approvals, including Ex systems and compact systems for smaller vessels.

Superior performance in any waters

PureBallast 3.1 offers unmatched biological disinfection performance in any type of water: fresh, brackish or marine. This includes water in liquid form at frigid temperatures. Even in low-clarity waters with UV transmittance as low as 42%, the system can perform at full flow. As a result, it runs at just 50% of its potential operating power in most situations – ramping up to full power only when needed.

Simple, chemical-free operation

PureBallast 3.1 is fully enclosed, fully automated and thoroughly integrated with the ballast water system. It needs no salt or chemicals, even when operating in fresh water. No dosing is involved, and there are no tanks or ventilation systems needed to manage consumables or residuals.

Space-saving inline construction

PureBallast 3.1 is an inline system in which the major components (filter and reactor) are incorporated into the ballast water piping. This creates a highly flexible system with a small footprint, which is especially important for retrofits. Ex configurations are simple as well, since the power supply can be placed outside the hazardous zone.

Built on leading experience

Alfa Laval is the most qualified and experienced supplier in ballast water treatment. Having worked with the application for more than a decade, we have installed and retrofitted far more treatment systems than any other. Today we have a complete range of solutions for newbuild and retrofit needs, and our large-scale production is ready for the heavy ramp-up in years to come.

Expert backing worldwide

PureBallast 3.1 is a wise choice of compliance technology, backed by wise service choices to secure its lasting performance. Alfa Laval’s global service network has a well-developed offering of solutions to safeguard your system’s performance and long-term value.

Our support begins in the early stages with services such as Installation Supervision, or Recommissioning if your installed system has been inactive. Over your system’s lifetime, there are services like Calibration and Performance Audits to keep it going strong. For convenience and economy, our experts have grouped them into predefined inspection and service packages, which make it easy to create an Alfa Laval Performance Agreement.
