ERMA FIRST

How ERMA FIRST can help you?

ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS has optimised power consumption, leading into a very low-level average. The power application is constantly adjusted according to the given concentrations of the in situ produced chlorine. At the same time, the high efficiency power supplies – along with the design and materials selected on electrolysers – reduces any unnecessary power losses. Moreover, ‘same operational mode’ covers all kinds of waters and IMO, USCG, Korean and Chinese regulations.

VESSEL SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS

Bulk Carriers

ERMA FIRST has extensive experience on bulk carriers. From 300 m3/h to large 2×3000 m3/h ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS, modular design allows for easy and straightforward installation. All the components are installed in the Engine Room (mostly partial flat, store room and 1st deck). In rare cases where practical difficulties with bulky parts such as the filter are encountered, a platform extension can be easily fabricated to accommodate that component.

Tankers

The installation of BWTS on board tankers requires explosion proof equipment. Our EX certified product range is the perfect solution for the harsh and demanding environment of tanker vessels. The main components are ATEX certified and are normally installed in the pump room. When APT treatment is required, an APT treatment module can be installed that interconnects with the FIT EX system allowing treatment of all ballast tanks.

Containers

Installation on board is as uncomplicated as it gets. The system components are installed in the Engine Room. Operation is possible from the control panel located close to the system.

LNG Carriers

ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS is ideal for installation on LNG Tankers, as it provides a flexible installation in the E/R via all available filter options, in the vicinity of the main ballast pumps, as well as a straightforward placement of the Electrolytic Cells as an extension of the ballast piping thus minimizing installation related costs. LNG Tanker operators benefit from the most operational friendly limitation of ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS technology & the lowest average power consumption amongst available electrochlorination technologies. The extended warranty benefits ERMA FIRST is offering as well as the minimum operational and maintenance costs, along with the reliability of all ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS components are greatly appreciated by LNG Owners/Operators.

Passenger

Passenger vessels normally require medium capacity systems such as 1xFIT 300 and 1xFIT 400. Installation on these vessels normally takes place in the available pump room.

Superyachts

Despite not having the ample space for retrofitted machinery, motor yachts can still be equipped with BWTS. ERMA FIRST FIT BWTS comes in all sizes, and our lower capacity models can easily fit inside any engine room. Our smallest systems 1xFIT 75 and 1xFIT 100 are the perfect candidates for superyacht applications owing to the minimal component footprint and modular design. The same flexibility and features is available to all our product range, from large 2xFIT 3000 units to compact 1xFIT 75.
