With the tightening of environmental regulations in the global shipping industry, the market for marine ballast water treatment systems is experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities. According to the latest report from the International Maritime Analysis Agency, the global demand for ballast water treatment equipment is expected to exceed 200000 sets by 2025, an increase of 180% compared to 2020.
At the recent Marine Technology Exhibition held in Singapore, the quantum ultraviolet ballast water treatment system showcased by Qingdao Shuangrui Marine Environment Engineering Co., Ltd. has attracted attention. The system adopts innovative photocatalytic technology, which improves processing efficiency by 40% compared to traditional equipment, and does not require the addition of chemical agents. Through modular design, we have achieved rapid installation of equipment on various types of ships, "said Li Ming, the company's technical director, at the exhibition.
DNV experts point out that the strict standards for ballast water discharge set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) are forcing ship owners to accelerate equipment upgrades. At present, treatment systems using electrolysis and ultraviolet technology dominate the market, but the rise of new biological filtration technologies may change the future competitive landscape
