Special Initiative |
The Northeast-Midwest Institute will lead a team of scientists, engineers, ship owners, and policy experts to develop effectiveness criteria and conduct treatment trials to determine the effectiveness of post-filtration technologies in removing biological material from water entering ballast tanks in commercial vessels; orchestrate a full scale ballast treatment system design and installation competition; and hold a ballast technology trade fair and symposium. This work builds on the team?s successful demonstration of filtration technology as a possible means of improving the quality of ballast water. |
