Abstract

The transfer of harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens in the ballast water of ships has a significant global impact on coastal regions. The effects have made ballast management systems extremely important for protecting marine environments. Recently, to solve this issue, a number of technologies have been developed and commercialized. Most of them are barely used independently, but there are several combined methods to treat ballast water. The aim of this study is to suggest the best method of ballast water sterilization using a high-voltage pulsed arc discharge and a vision monitoring system.
