B.EL.D™ for bacteria testing in ballast water

Don’t let ballast water fines cut into your bottom line

Ships’ global movements of ballast water create a threat of spread of waterborne diseases and microorganisms.
There are numerous instances of invasive species and pathogens that cause outbreaks.
There are currently very few ways to monitor the effectiveness of on-board ballast water treatment. This makes it hard for ship sailing over high-risk areas to know if there is a risk of fines due to illegal discharges, or that there could be an outbreak of waterborne disease.

B.EL.D™ is developed under requirements of IMO D-2 standard as a cost-effective tool to monitor effectiveness of on-board ballast water treatment and reduce the risk of fines. You can keep track of this important information throughout your journey, helping to protect your business and obey the rules

By using B.EL.D™ , you’ll always know whether your ballast water treatment system is working, helping you avoid receiving a fine for illegal dumping or spreading a waterborne disease outbreak.
