On 14th of January 2020 a Full Day Training Seminar regarding SunRui BalClor Ballast Water Management System was held at the Yacht Club of Greece, Mikrolimano, Piraeus.
The event was co-organized with Marine Plus S.A., the Exclusive Agent of SunRui Marine Environment Engineering Co Ltd, aiming to present to the Greek friends and customers of SunRui, useful training materials related with the Operation, Maintenance and Troubleshooting of BalClor BWMS. Speakers in the event were Mr. Li Shuo – Director of After-sale Service Department of SunRui Marine Environment Engineering Co Ltd, Mr. Derrick Ji – Regional Manager of After-sale Service Department of SunRui Marine Environment Engineering Co Ltd, Mr. Max Wang - Regional Manager (Overseas) of SunRui Marine Environment Engineering (Germany) GmbH and were prefaced by Mr. Dimitris Vranopoulos - Managing Director of Marine Plus SA.
SunRui Marine Environment Engineering Co Ltd is an integrated engineering company, specializing in corrosion control, anti-fouling technologies, water treatment technologies and exhaust gas treatment technologies. The company has been engaged in research and development of electrolysis technology for over 30 years and has successfully undertaken hypochlorite generation projects for 12 nuclear power stations and more than 100 power plants, chemical plants and marine platforms. SunRui is a wholly owned subsidiary company of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), which is the largest shipbuilding conglomerate in the World.
SunRui BalClor BWMS (already awarded with the Final USCG Type Approval Certificate and the IMO New G8 & G9 Guidelines Certificate) has been developed based on land-based electrolytic technology. The system, which uses electrolytic technology for the Disinfection of the Ballast Water, has gained worldwide reputation for its efficiency and installation suitability for all types of vessels, either going to be constructed (Newbuildings) or existing ones going to be retrofitted with a Ballast Water Treatment System. Until October 2019 more than 2000 BalClor BWMS have been ordered from various Owners worldwide.
Marine Plus S.A. was established in 1988 as a provider of high quality technical services to the Greek Shipping Industry. Today, with over 30 years of experience, Marine Plus can effectively provide almost any technical support required by vessels trading worldwide, ranging from shipyards representation for repairs and conversions, top quality equipment representation, underwater services, new building contracting, on voyage - afloat repairs, supply of spares - stores - provisions, onboard safety inspections - repairs and other services.
Marine Plus and SunRui have a successful cooperation since 2015 on an exclusivity basis and many reputable Greek Owners have already equipped their vessels with BalClor BWMS for Newbuilding and Retrofitting Projects. Moreover, even though SunRui SOxFree Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (Scrubber) was released very late in the Market (December 2018), it was the Greek Owners who entrusted SunRui for their vessels and placed the first orders worldwide – the first installations have successfully been completed, the Scrubber Systems are fully operational and many more installations will follow within 2020.
The continuous increase of the number of the delivered vessels having been equipped with SunRui BalClor BWMS to many Greek Owners, the strong will from SunRui to provide the best possible support to the Greek Market and the kind request addressed to Marine Plus for a Training Seminar in Greece by many Technical Departments, were the main factors for the co-organization between SunRui and Marine Plus of the SunRui BalClor BWMS Full Day Training Seminar.
The Training Seminar was divided into eight sections:
1) The Global Service Network of SunRui, including the Global Service Stations, the Major Ports covered, the Global Spare Part Warehouses and the number of available Service Engineers were presented.
2) The launching of the new SunRui Training Center in Manila, Philippines, its facilities with the fully operational BalClor BWMS Unit for a thorough Crew Training and the Opening Ceremony were shown.
3) The BalClor BWMS Working Principal for the Ballasting Process (Filtration, Disinfection, TRO Monitor and Control) and the De-ballasting Process (Neutralization, TRO Monitor and Control) respectively, were analyzed.
4) The BalClor BWMS Composition (Automatic Back-flushing Filter, Electrolytic Disinfection Unit, Automatic Neutralization Unit, Control System, Flow Measuring System, TRO Monitoring System) was explained.
5) The BalClor BWMS Operation Introduction (Adjustments to the System Control Cabinet and to the various Components of the System prior, during and after the Ballasting Process and the De-ballasting Process respectively) was given.
6) The BalClor BWMS Troubleshooting Instructions covering possible Malfunctions (related with TRO Monitoring System, Valves, Sensors, Rectifiers, Pumps, Motors, Air Blowers and Filters) were mentioned.
7) The BalClor BWMS Maintenance Scheme for various components (TRO, Filters, Electrolytic Disinfection Unit and Automatic Neutralization Unit) was interpreted.
8) The Questions and Answers Session ended the Training Seminar.
SunRui considers the Global After-sale Support as extremely important and will continue to invest significant resources for the further improvement of the offered services, such as the introduction of a Support Online Monitoring System for BalClor BWMS. Another important step will be the launching of a SunRui Training Center in Greece, a plan which is getting underway. The Greek Owners have many solid reasons to continue to choose SunRui High Tech Products and Marine Plus will ensure that they will always receive the full attention of SunRui.
