GLRI BWT Shipboard Approval Tests<br />
Mission Need: Capability to verify that Ballast Water Treatment (BWT) systems installed aboard ships meet<br />
discharge standards.<br />
<strong>Project</strong> Objectives:<br />
• Develop methodology and test protocols for approval/certification testing<br />
of BWT systems aboard ships.<br />
• Coordinate with CG-OES-3 and Maritime Administration (MARAD) to test<br />
BWT system aboard Laker.<br />
• Compare filter skid performance against plankton net in soft-bodied<br />
organism environment.<br />
• Evaluate BWT system in fresh water.<br />
