Certificate
ARA PLASMA BWTS, which was developed by the SAMKUN CENTURY Company, acquired Basic approval for the ballast water treatment system during the MEPC 60 (MEPC 60/2/15) in March 2010 and Final approval during the MEPC 61 (MEPC 61/2/5) in September 2010.

Main processing equipment of ARA PLASMA BWTS

	Filtration ▶ It removes large particles and organisms larger than 50㎛ in ballast water. ▶ It automatically removes any substances in filter cartridges by housing an internal pressure increase. ▶ It is highly accurate and reliable. ▶ Specification (for 250m3/hr) > Mesh size : 50 µm > Design pressure : 6.6 bar > Max. working temp : 50 ºC > Power Source : 3 Phase, AC380/440V 50/60Hz
	Low Voltage Plasma ▶ It generates plasma underwater by using a low-voltage generator. ▶ A pressure shock wave is produced by a high-energy plasma arc. ▶ Shockwave destroys targeted micro-organisms by causing physical damage to their cell membranes underwater. ▶ Specification (for 250m3/hr) > Power Source Input : 3 Phase, AC380/440V 50/60Hz / Output : 2kW > Plasma chamber : Carbon Steel & PE coating
	MPUV ▶ It has a high performance in disinfecting bacteria and viruses. ▶ There are no formations of residual toxins or harmful substances. ▶ Uses a wavelength of UV-C(200~280nm) to sterilize microorganisms. ▶ Specification (for 250m3/hr) > UV sensor : 0-500mW/cm2 > Temperature sensor : PT-100 > Wiper Seal : EPDM > UV chamber : STS 316L
	Control Panel ▶ Users conveniently operate “ARA PLASMA BWTS” by touchscreen. ▶ The status of each module and any alarm messages are easily monitored in realtime. ▶ The Control panel consists of four parts; monitoring & operating, main switch, emergency stop switch and cabinet ventilators. ▶ Specification (for 250m3/hr) > Control panel type : PLC type (Auto) > Power Source : AC230V, 1 Phase & DC 24V > Frequency : 50/60Hz > Color : Munsell no. 7.5BG 7/2
