To ensure compliance with the D2 standard and proper function of the ballast water management system, monitoring of the ballast water discharge is essential. In this project a built-in system for automatic measurement of the number of live organisms between 10-50 µm and ≥50 µm according to the D2 standard was developed, BallastWISE Inline. BallastWISE Inline is based on the unique BallastWISE measurement technology. The system is fully automated and does not require the addition of chemicals or manual intervention by the crew during normal operation.
