Description

The article analyzes the mass and dimensional characteristics of the elements of ultraviolet ballast water treatment systems, which are crucial for ensuring the environmental safety of navigation. In particular, the study examines the impact of system capacity on the space and weight of its components, such as coarse filtration filters, UV reactors, and power supply units. The results demonstrate that with the increase in system capacity, both the linear dimensions and weight of the main elements rise. This allows for predicting mass and dimensional parameters when designing new ships or retrofitting existing ones. The obtained dependencies can also be used for the development of new ballast water treatment systems or the expansion of the range of existing ones.
