Ballast Water Treatment System Test Reports
The Panel determined that there were reliable test data for nine treatment systems. One of these (MSI) was scored by the Panel as not meeting the IMO D-2 limits (email, Mario Tamburri to Andrew Cohen, 1/30/2011; also see MSI test report, >50 µm organisms, trials 2, 4 & 5, and 10-50µm organisms, trials 4 & 5). Another system (PeraClean) officially met the IMO D-2 limits and was type approved, but was subsequently withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer; this system, and the treatment type it represented, was not scored by the Panel (see SAB Report, Table 4-1, Hydrocyclone + filtration + peracetic acid treatment type; and table footnote). The remaining seven treatment systems with reliable test data, representing five treatment types, were scored by the Panel as meeting the IMO D-2 limits.
