    Aquarius UVX, the Atex-proof Ultra Violet BWMS

    Aquarius UVX - Atex certified BWTS. For use in hazardous areas Zone 1 IIC T4.

    The Aquarius UVX system is a fully automatic ballast water treatment system, designed and tested for installation and operation in a Zone 1 IIC T4 environment. It holds an ATEX Type approval and the design has been verified by DEKRA Test and Certification (Notified Body 0158).

    Typically used on tankers and other vessels that require their ballast water treatment system to be installed in a Zone 1 or Zone 2 area, the Aquarius UVX uses a combination of hazardous area solutions. The system is independently approved to both ATEX and IECEx standards and can be installed in Zone 1 hazardous areas on both US and non-US flagged vessels.

    From an operator point of view, it performs in exactly the same way as our standard area UV BWMS with some added safety features.

      KEY BENEFITS

      • Supplied with plug & play intrinsically safe barrier box that enables all required signals from the hazardous area to be connected on installation (on the safe area bulkhead).
      • Installer only needs to consider the cable runs, as all IS circuits are supplied with suitable barrier protection.
      • Local junction boxes provided for installation in hazardous area, fully rated & certified.
      • System uses pneumatic actuators and a purge & over-pressure protection system for the UV chamber (using ship's air)
      • Thanks to modular design, only the filter and UV reactor need to be installed in the hazardous area. Power & control panels are installed in a safe area on the vessel. (connected via electrical & control related cabling)
