Our product components from Optimarin include powerful UV systems, efficient filters, robust backflush pumps, precise pressure control valves, and user-friendly control panels. Innovative technologies ensure effective removal of organisms and particles, high flow rates, and reliable performance with minimal maintenance. Our ballast water treatment systems provide sustainable and efficient ballast water treatment that meets the highest environmental standards.
In our ballast water treatment system, the filter plays a crucial role in removing particles from seawater during the ballast or stripping processes. The filter fabric effectively captures larger particles and prevents them from entering the system.
Our filter is designed to remove larger particles and organisms from seawater, ensuring optimal water quality.
Minimal pressure loss: With a pressure loss of only 0.1 to 0.5 BAR, our filter ensures efficient flow rates without significant energy consumption.
Bypass function: During ballast water discharge, the filter is intelligently bypassed, allowing for smooth and quick water discharge.
Automatic self-cleaning: Our filter is equipped with an automatic self-cleaning function. By reversing the flow direction and backflushing untreated water into the sea, continuous filter performance is ensured.
Optimarin uses high-quality filters in their ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) to ensure the efficiency and reliability of particle removal from seawater:
Filtrex Filters: A basket-type filter that can filter particles down to a size of 20 microns. This filter is known for its high filtration efficiency and robustness.
If you have any questions about our filters, we are happy to assist you with our comprehensive consulting services.
The backflush pump from Optimarin is an essential component of the ballast water treatment system. It is used to regularly clean the filtration system and prevent blockages. The pump ensures that the filter is backflushed under high pressure, removing accumulated dirt particles, sediments, and microorganisms. This keeps the filtration system efficient and operational, contributing to the overall performance of the ballast water treatment system. Backflush water does not need to be treated according to regulations.
The backflush pump is a centrifugal pump with an electric motor. It is connected to the overboard line for filter backflushing and contributes to more efficient filter cleaning. It is automatically activated when a filter backflush is required.

Our systems use strong UV light to efficiently eliminate organisms in ballast water. Each chamber treats up to 167 m³/h of water. By installing the chambers in parallel, virtually unlimited capacities are possible, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance.

Our pressure control valves regulate the pressure of your ballast water treatment system with exceptional reliability and efficiency, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the system. With electric flow-pressure-valve technology, you experience the latest advancements in valve control, technology, and acoustics.
By integrating a multi-tooth element into the shut-off flap body, the control performance is excellent. The tooth profiles ensure a logarithmic flow characteristic, making valve control precise and easy.

Our innovative 'Cleaning in Place (CIP)' technology from Optimarin enables fully automated cleaning of the internal components of your ballast water treatment system without disassembly or manual cleaning.
Deposits, biofouling, and other contaminants are removed. Regular, automatic cleaning reduces the risk of blockages and performance losses, thereby maximizing the uptime of your BWTS.

Our filters effectively remove larger particles and organisms from seawater, while their self-cleaning function reduces maintenance effort and downtime. The powerful UV systems eliminate remaining organisms and provide a high treatment capacity of up to 167 m³/h of water.
The pressure control valves provide a logarithmic flow characteristic for precise regulation and prevent instability, while ensuring low cavitation and noise levels.
The modern control panel with high-performance CPU and touchscreen display enables user-friendly operation. A centralized data monitoring system with OptiLink supports integration into ship control systems and allows for easy maintenance through simple log extraction.
