          BALLAST WATER
          CERTIFIED PROTECTION OF THE OCEANS.

          WITH SAFE BALLAST WATER TREATMENT.



          According to the Ballast Water Management Convention of 2004, shipping companies are required to equip
          ships operating internationally with efficient onboard ballast water treatment systems, latest after the ratifi-
          cation of the convention. For newly built ships, the rule is already in force. The solution: high-performance,
          certified, tried-and-tested ballast water treatment systems from MAHLE.




          Ocean Protection System (OPS)                       An overview of the advantages of OPS:
          The mechanical-physical ballast water treatment system Ocean   ■ ■  Low-maintenance, reliable operation owing to the use of
          Protection System (OPS) from MAHLE combines a two-stage   proven components from wastewater treatment
          filtration (preliminary and main filter) with UV disinfection using   ■ ■  Effective filtration of organisms and sediments with
          special low-pressure radiation. The perfectly coordinated filtration    two-stage pretreatment
          and disinfection guarantee reliable functionality and easy operation,   ■ ■  Safe UV sterilization in a wavelength range relevant for
          long maintenance intervals and low operating costs, as well as   disinfection, with high-performance, low-pressure emitters
          safe onboard operation.                             ■ ■  Flexible application and optimal water quality for all types of
                                                                water (fresh, brackish, or seawater) regardless of salt content
          With OPS, you will meet both the global IMO regulations and the   ■ ■  No chemicals or disinfectants in the water, owing to the
          USCG requirements. Furthermore, OPS has been certified as an   mechanical-physical functional principle
          Alternate Management System (AMS) by the United States Coast   ■ ■  Design-specific installation in a container, frame, or module
          Guard, and is thus approved for use in North American waters   ■ ■  Simple retrofitting in existing ballast water systems without
          and ports.                                            replacing existing ballast water pumps
