Cathelco gain IMO Type Approval for BWT system
Cathelco have received IMO Type Approval for their ballast water treatment system which is based on a combination of filtration and UV technology.
This has been achieved after 5 years of research and development followed by rigorous testing on land and sea.
Although Cathelco have served the marine industry for more than 50 years and are widely known for their seawater pipework anti-fouling and ICCP hull corrosion protection systems, they have waited until now to enter the BWT market.
An innovative cleaning system using special cleaning balls is used to remove residue from the quartz sleeves and internal surfaces of the chamber. This means that the system is entirely chemical free and there are no mechanical parts to scratch the surface of the sleeves.
Cathelco BWT units are available with capacities from 80m3/hr to 2,400m3/hr or up to 1,200m3/hr per single system.

Cathelco压载水处理系统获IMO型式批复
经过5年的研发和严格的陆用海用测试，Cathelco公司基于过滤和紫外线技术的压载水处理系统日前收到了IMO颁发的型式批复。
尽管Cathelco凭借著名的海水管道防污和ICCP船体防腐系统服务船舶行业已超过50年，但在压载水处理市场却是刚进入者。
据悉，IMO的型式批复是通过BSH和德国有关管理机构获得，之前Cathelco的系统已在Foreland航运的"M.V. Eddystone"号滚装船上进行测试。
获得IMO型式批复后，下一步Cathelco将立即提交申请美国可替换管理系统(AMS)批复，从而能进入美国水域的船舶市场。美国海岸警卫队对压载水处理系统批复的要求之一就是能在所有盐度水平下工作，包括盐、微咸水和淡水。
Cathelco公司的压载水处理装置的能力为80-2400立方米/小时，单套系统最大为1200立方米/小时。
