Introduction Grey and Black Water in Ships Tailored for Exhaust Gas Scrubber the future Intelligent solutions reliably fulfi lling the requirements of the maritime industry and the responsibility towards the maritime environment Over the years, the global shipbuilding market has been in continuous growth, undergoing a process of profound change at the same time. Due to a signifi cant increase in transport volumes and worldwide tourism, vessel fl eets of larger dimensions dominate today’s worldwide maritime traffi c. This trend is accompanied by rising environmental requirements and standards to counteract pollution result- ing from the expanded trade and travel. With high-quality plastic piping solutions for ballast systems, ballast water treatment and other shipbuilding applications, GF Piping Systems supports the industry to face these technical, op- erational and environmental challenges. The corrosion, abrasion and chemical resistant systems are ideally adapted to the extreme conditions on the high sea, off ering outstan- ing cost-effi ciency and a long system life cycle. Solutions for extreme conditions Since sea water can be described as the lifeblood of ships, products and systems used in applications aboard have to Compressed air deal with extreme conditions. Thus, preventing corrosion and leakage is more important here than anywhere else. Ballast water treatment With all-in-one plastic solutions, GF Piping Systems provides tailored systems for various ship applications, consisting of pipes, fi ttings, valves and corresponding jointing and auto- mation technologies. Environmental approach To a great extend, world’s economy benefi ts from the high- performance maritime sector. But using the oceans as traffi c and commercial routes, signifi es a responsible approach at the same time. Several approvals, complying with inter-na- tional standards and current IMO * guidelines, prove the quality, safety and reliability of our products and systems. Compared to competitive materials, plastic solutions cause less CO emissions and show a lower ecological footprint, 2 lately forming the basis for sustainable performance.** 4

Applications Ballast water treatment Stabilizing systems with ballast water tanks are essential for safe and effi cient shipping operations. But due to the multitude of marine organism, carried in ballast water, ballast water treatment on ships is required to prevent serious ecological or health eff ects. Powered by growing environmental awareness and by the current IMO regulation activities, ballast water management is becoming more and more important. With its wealth of experience in water treatment, media fi ltration, dosing and chemical conveyance, GF Piping Systems off ers various innovative solutions for ballast water treatment applica- tions on ships. Covering the entire treatment process from pre-treatment via fi ltration or coagulation to chemical or physical disinfection, GF Piping Systems supports the ship industry with reliable, long-last- ing solutions.

Applications Ballast system To guarantee safe operation conditions throughout voyage, certain parameters regarding the vessel’s transverse stability, trim, list, maneuverability and hull girder stresses have to be defi ned and reliably maintained. Therefore, ballast water systems are used for the purpose of providing weight at strategic locations within a vessel. To ensure optimal ballasting operations afl oat and during cargo loading and discharging processes in harbors, ballast piping and ballast tank systems are installed on board, precisely pumping and conveying ballast water. Highly corrosion and abrasion resistant plastic solutions from GF Piping Systems - prefabricated if required - provide a maximum of safety, robustness and fl exibility in handling ballast water transport.
