Panasia manufactures a ballast water treatment system (BWTS) based on filtration and UV irradiation.  They are distributed under the brand name GlOEn-Patrol(TM)

From company website:

GloEn-Patrol™ is a combined treatment system taking advantage of Filtration and UV irradiation, the most environmentally friendly and optimally designed solution for every kind of vessel to install and operate.

Adopting a 100% physical treatment technology, GloEn-Patrol™ effectively disinfects harmful aquatic organism and pathogen in ballast water without producing any toxic substance during ballasting and de-ballasting.

Products

The ballast water treatment system consists of four key components.  System capacities range from 50 to 6,000 m^3/hr.

Filter Unit

From company website:

The ballast water enters through the inlet pipe into the filter and flows through the cylindrical filter element from inside out. The filtration cake accumulating on the element surface causes pressure difference to develop across the filter element. The back-flushing begins when the pre-set pressure difference between inlet and outlet on the filter is reached or pre-determined lapse of time is met. During the back-flushing cycle, the filtering is not interrupted and continues to flow downstream of the filter in the normal manner.
– Removing large organisms over 50㎛
– Rising UV light transmission
– Low pressure drop
– Automatic back flushing
– Screen size : 50㎛
– Capacity : 50 ~ 6,000㎥/hr
– Max. operating Pressure : 10 kg/㎠
– Explosion proof type(Option)

UV Unit

From company website:

Using UV light to disinfect water is a proven technology. This safe and effective physical disinfectant is suitable for both large and small applications. UV’s proven technology uses nothing but ultraviolet light to inactivate bacteria, viruses and other organisms that are present in the ballast water. The UV unit is easy to operate and needs no expensive and potentially hazardous chemicals. UV light, which continues to be reliable means of disinfection, involves exposing ballast water to irradiation from UV light. The treatment works properly because UV light penetrates an organism’s cell walls and disrupts its genetic material, making reproduction impossible. In addition, PANASIA’s GloEn-Patrol™ received ATEX certificate for explosion proof type so that the installation in hazardous area is possible. – Long life span UV lamp
– Disinfection of micro-organism
– Easy maintenance and operation
– Automatic cleaning wiper
– Capacity : 50 ~ 6,000㎥/hr
– Max. operating Pressure : 10 kg/㎠
– Explosion proof type(Option)

Control Panel

From company website:

The monitoring & control panel is PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) based and configured to activate and deactivate UV lamps via UV power supply units In order to maintain the sufficient UV dose while conserving power. The monitoring & control panel offers a real time monitoring of the status of system operation while logging the data required by the convention at the same time. – Data logging for 24months
– Main data display (Pressure, flow, Temp., etc)
– Alarm
– Controller : SIEMENS PLC
– Human Machine interface system
– Touch Screen

Power Supply Panel

From company website:

The major function of UV Power Supply Panel is to operate the medium pressure lamps inside the UV chamber. It controls the strength of the UV lamp with the capacitors mounted on the Panel. Also It detects whether the UV lamps are functioning properly or not. The temperature sensor is mounted inside to monitor the temperature in order to give an alarm to an operator and shut down the system in case of emergency.
