“…Also, because of lacking toxicity data on brominated compounds, some PNEC indicated in Table 3 have been taken from their chlorinated analogues. Notwithstanding, References: a (Delacroix et al, 2013), b (Johnson et al, 2012), c (Liu and Zhang, 2014). ⁎ PEC has been assimilated as the maximum concentration detected in this study.…”

“…Additionally, the presence of other naturally occurring anion species in seawater compete in the anode area and impair the efficiency of this process. For example, bromide anions, in conjunction with dissolved organic material, can generate very harmful by-products (e.g., different brominated compounds and tri-halomethanes), which can contribute to increased levels of hazardous disinfection byproducts during deballasting [43,49,50]. …”

An accepted solution to the environmental problems related to a ship's ballast water has been the adoption and proper utilization of approved onboard ballast water plans and management systems (BWMS). On 8 September 2017, the International Maritime Organization Ballast Water Management Convention comes into force, and under this Convention, ships engaged in international trade must have an approved BWMS aboard to discharge ballast water, reducing species transfer. In response to enormous global concern about this problem, the overwhelming majority of the BWMS, approved currently for use by International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United States Coast Guard, utilize two main technologies (electro-chlorination or ultraviolet irradiation) as their principle mode of disinfection, often used in combination with filtration. However, both technologies have been questioned regarding their practically, efficiency, and possible environmental impacts upon discharge. This review article aims to explore some questions about these two technologies, drawing attention to some current uncertainties associated with their use. Also, it draws attention to some technical obstacles and regulatory impediments related to the new development of green biocide technology, which largely has been ignored, despite its potential as a simpler, cleaner and effective technology.

“…HC does not always have the same role in the process of the treatment. For example, in Fine Ballast OZ, cavitation is used as a pretreatment phase and ozonation is the main treatment step, while in other three systems, cavitation is the main treatment step alone (JFE Ballast Ace, OceanSaver, Venturi Oxygen Stripping) or in combination with various active substances to achieve the complete efficiency of the system (ABS 2011; Delacroix et al 2013;Gregg et al 2009;Joowon 2010;Lloyd's Register 2014). However, the application of technologies that use active substances in their operation may cause a potential danger for the crew and the environment (Fisher 2014;Werschkun et al 2012).…”

Ballast water is, together with hull fouling and aquaculture, considered the most important factor of the worldwide transfer of invasive non-indigenous organisms in aquatic ecosystems and the most important factor in European Union. With the aim of preventing and halting the spread of the transfer of invasive organisms in aquatic ecosystems and also in accordance with IMO's International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships Ballast Water and Sediments, the systems for ballast water treatment, whose work includes, e.g. chemical treatment, ozonation and filtration, are used. Although hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) is used in many different areas, such as science and engineering, implied acoustics, biomedicine, botany, chemistry and hydraulics, the application of HC in ballast water treatment area remains insufficiently researched. This paper presents the first literature review that studies lab- and large-scale setups for ballast water treatment together with the type-approved systems currently available on the market that use HC as a step in their operation. This paper deals with the possible advantages and disadvantages of such systems, as well as their influence on the crew and marine environment. It also analyses perspectives on the further development and application of HC in ballast water treatment.
