Ballast Water Filters

PMF specializes in producing metallic filters from woven wire mesh, perforated metal and metallic fibers. Our state of the art diffusion bonding (sintering) process ensures a strong, reliable media ideally suited for ballast water filtration. PMF’s application and engineering staff are here to support your design needs that are specific to your system and process. Our media has unparalleled performance in removing sediment and organic matter.

Invasive Aquatic Species in ship’s ballast water is one of the biggest problems faced by the shipping industry. Posing a great threat to the marine ecosystem, these aquatic species has led to an increase in bio-invasion at an alarming rate. Under IMO’s “International Convention for the Control and Management of Ship’s Ballast Water and Sediments”, implementation of ballast water management plan and ballast water treatment systems on board ships has thus become important.

Wire cloth is utilized in many applications for ballast water market filtration. Porous Metal Filters supplies 316L, 904L, and supper duplex alloys for this application. PMF produces sintered ballast water filter elements in all shapes and sizes.
