a few days ago US Coast Guard announced that the Alfa Laval pure ballast treatment system was approved for discharge in US waters disappear will means that our customer can rest assure that can be compliant with both IMO and the US Coast Guard regulations and that is independent of the sail in marine brackish or in freshwater first of all there was some general confusion in the market about what method to use to prove biological fixes for UV treatment systems we from Alfa Laval we believe that the NPN method is a valid method for proving with the balloon the efficacy of ours and other UV treatment systems and we also expect that US Coast Guard would approve using the method - despite the fact that we can lower the energy consumption with ambient motion of our system without increasing the risk for the environment we had to test the system again with the prescribed US Coast Guard white abstain method this method isn't new to us we used it together with the NPN method when we tested both generation 1 and generation to lock your ballast and when we started with the testing for pure past third generation then the NPN method this is widely accepted as the standard method conducting the IMO tests but since you know that the impairment for the safe for the environment with a much lower energy consumption and savings for customers with sincerely hope that US Coast Guard will be able to approve that method in the future already now more vessels around the world carried out from our pure ballast systems compared to any other brands and this really makes us proud we hope that our industry leadership with 100 years in marine or 15 plus years developing a market-leading ballast water treatment system and our global presence will be the proof to our clients that they made the right choice investing their trust in us and our equipment in many ways use codes that evaluation process can be seen as litmus test for our credibility and their approval shows that it passed the test you
