Protecting the environment of our seas
The International Maritime Organisation has identified more than 7,000 species of marine life worldwide that are transported by ships to ballast water. On average, there are 112 million plankton, 1,000 bacteria, and 10,000 viruses per 1m3 of ballast water, and there are 3,000-4,000 species of organisms carried in the global ballast water every day. If these organisms are able to grow and reproduce and establish populations in natural or semi-natural ecosystems or environments due to lack of natural enemies or other reasons, they may directly threaten the ecosystem structure and species diversity of these bays, estuaries or inland waters, and can report harmful parasites and pathogens, and even lead to the extinction of local species, so the microbial control of ballast water is urgent.
Our optimised UV solution can deliver reliable water security for the ballast water treatment system, as an effective microbial control and environment-friendly solution.
Product Applications
Ballast Water
Our Ballast water treatment solution has been designed in partnership with Wartsila, one of the world’s largest marine services companies. Combined with filtration, the Aquarius UV system is available exclusively from Wartsila.

MarineLine PQ W AL is a low-energy system validated to NWRI, ensuring treatment can be guaranteed to meet the stringent regulatory controls applied in coastal waters.
Black Water Treatment
The PQ IL is a compact system validated to NWRI wastewater requirements, available with Super Duplex wetted parts for seawater-flushed toilet systems requiring greater corrosion resistance.
Black Water Treatment
The MarineLine PQ IL can be applied as part of the pre-treatment package to reduce the bioburden on Reverse Osmosis membranes, extending their life and reducing cleaning frequency. It is available with Super Duplex wetted parts for such applications.
Typically applied after Reverse Osmosis or a Water Maker, the MarineLine PQ AF system delivers potable water safe for drinking. Also uses low flow, low energy range, and USEPA validated as pathogen barrier.
Drinking Water
The ProLine WW IL are compact medium-pressure lamp systems and are intended as a cost-effective treatment for less critical applications where there is no risk to people or the food chain. For more critical applications we recommend our reuse range.
A compact medium-pressure range for use where space is tight for small to mid-sized communities. This range offers both USEPA and DVGW validations.
Our PureLine D AF systems are aimed specifically at providing UV treatment for product and process waters used in the food and beverage industry.
