ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 Equipment Operations & Technical Manual – Volume III Suppliers’ Manuals

Description

ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 Equipment Operations & Technical Manual – Volume III

This is Volume III of the Equipment Operations & Technical Manual for the ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 ballast water treatment system installed aboard vessels with hull numbers 1901 (NORD MISSISSIPPI) and 1902 (NORD MISSOURI). While the other volumes cover the overall system, this volume is the suppliers’ manuals compendium: a 465-page collection of the original equipment manufacturers’ operation, maintenance, installation and troubleshooting manuals for every major component that makes up the BWTS FIT 1×1200.

Generic OMSM revision 06, dated 10 June 2019, forms the baseline for this document, and the ship-specific revision was issued on 30 June 2020 under document number 2-1920-1201. The manual was created by ERMA FIRST ESK Engineering Solutions SA and is written entirely in English.

• Sensitron SMART S Hydrogen Sensor – Installation, configuration, testing, maintenance and technical specifications for flammable gas detection, including pellistor and infrared sensor options
• Industrial Scientific Ventis MX4 Multi-gas Monitor – Full product manual covering setup, operation, service, calibration, bump testing, sensor specifications, LEL correlation factors and certifications
• Diaphragm Air Pump
• ACTREG Butterfly Valves with Pneumatic Actuators – Rack and pinion actuator dimensions, torque outputs, materials and options
• Pressure & Temperature Switch
• Level Sensors

As a whole, this ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 suppliers manual gives a technician, superintendent or service engineer access to the complete manufacturer-supplied documentation for the ballast water treatment system. Instead of hunting down individual supplier manuals from a dozen different sources, Volume III keeps everything in one place, from the FILTREX filter’s backflushing sequence and the Permascand cell’s acid-cleaning procedure to the ABB flowmeter’s parameterization menus and the Grundfos dosing pump’s calibration routine.

ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 System Details

The manual identifies the following key system specifications for the BWTS FIT 1×1200 installation:

• BWTS capacity: 1250 m3/h
• Maximum power consumption: 127.49 kW
• Cooling water flow: 1.5 m3/h
• Ballast water temperature range: -2 to 40 degrees C
• Minimum conductivity/salinity in reactor: 1.07 PSU at -2 degrees C / 0.9 PSU at 3 degrees C
• Average operation pressure: 0.5 – 5 bar
• Max allowable dosage concentration of active substances: 10 mg/L
• Max allowable discharge concentration of active substances: less than 0.1 mg/L
• Max hydrogen gas generation: less than or equal to 1.6% vol. (40% LEL)
• Max differential pressure across filter prior to flushing: 0.3 bar

The document is not approved for use in explosive atmospheres, and the holding time is listed as not applicable for this system configuration. The two vessel installations carry ERMA FIRST BWTS serial numbers 2020001744 (NORD MISSISSIPPI) and 2020001827 (NORD MISSOURI).

Why the ERMA FIRST BWTS FIT 1×1200 Volume III Manual Matters

Ballast water treatment systems are among the most heavily regulated and technically complex installations on a modern vessel. Every component in the treatment chain has to function correctly: the filter has to backflush at the right differential pressure, the electrolytic cell has to produce the correct concentration of sodium hypochlorite, the TRO monitor has to read accurately and the dosing pump has to inject the right volume of reagent. When any one of these fails, the whole system can go out of compliance, and that means problems at the next port state control inspection.

Having the suppliers’ manuals on hand is not optional for anyone responsible for maintaining this equipment. This volume lets you:

• Follow the FILTREX ACB filter’s proper disassembly and assembly procedure, including torque values and lifting instructions, so you do not damage the filtering element or the backwash shaft
• Perform the Permascand electrolytic cell’s acid cleaning correctly, with the right concentration and soak time, to remove cathodic scaling before it affects flow or energy consumption
• Configure and troubleshoot the KraftPowercon rectifier using its actual menus and alarm codes, rather than guessing at what an error message means
• Calibrate the ABB electromagnetic flowmeter and the HF scientific CLX-XT chlorine monitor so that compliance readings are accurate
• Service the Grundfos DDA dosing pump, including diaphragm replacement and valve servicing, using the manufacturer’s own procedures
• Test and calibrate the Sensitron SMART S hydrogen sensor and the Industrial Scientific Ventis MX4 multi-gas monitor

Because this is Volume III, the suppliers’ manuals compendium, it contains the level of detail that generic system documentation typically leaves out. You get the full troubleshooting charts, spare parts lists, technical data tables, wiring diagrams and dimensional drawings from the original equipment manufacturers. For a vessel with this specific BWTS configuration, that is the difference between a repair that follows the manufacturer’s procedure and one that risks causing further damage.
