BIO-UV announces deal with Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection

Ilma and Luminara will each be fitted out with a BIO-SEA B-Series B02-190 system capable of treating ballast water flow rates of 190 m³ per hour from two high-intensity, low-energy UV reactors. The system incorporates a mechanical filtration system that is backflushed automatically to ensure continuous and effective performance.

Each 456-passenger capacity vessel also operates four dual-fuel engines running on LNG as the primary fuel to significantly reduce emissions. The yachts also have an efficient heat recovery system, LED lighting and other features to reduce the environmental impact.

While BIO-UV Group has had an established relationship with Chantiers de l’Atlantique since 2015, having delivered BWTS units for installation to myriad cruise ships and military vessels, Ilma and Luminara represent the first projects for Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection.

BIO UV Group technical director Florian Cortes added, “For the operator and crew, BIO-SEA operation and UV dosage is automatically controlled, and treatment performance is not impacted by either water temperature or salinity. The compact skid systems selected for the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection also incorporate a user-friendly interface for operational and maintenance simplicity.”

LNG power is one of the subjects discussed at the LNG Shipping and Terminals Conference, Europe 2022 being held in London 16-17 November 2022. Register your interest here.
