  ARA Plus⁺ BWMS is the ballast water management system using both filters and UV modules. The floating particles of dust and living creatures more than 50μm are removed by filters and those of less than 50μm are sterilized by UV modules so that its performance of BWMS can be maximized. ARA Plus⁺ BWMS not only can perfectly sterilize in the high turbidity or contaminated water but also is eco-friendly products without using neutralizing agent. As the result, we have gained the reputation from both the domestic markets and shipyards and shipowners around the world. The processed sea water stores in the ballast water tank, it discharges into the sea after having the additional process by filters and UV modules. Unlike other ballast water management system, ARA Plus⁺ BWMS provides the best engineering for ship installation by performing the same process for inflow and outflow of sea water with a compact design.
