The transoceanic movement of non-indigenous microorganisms and organic and inorganic
contaminants through the transfer of ballast water of ocean-going vessels can be considered …

Abstract High Rate Algal Ponds (HRAPs) can provide economical and efficient near tertiary-
level wastewater (WW) treatment, with the nutrients recovered as algal biomass. HRAP …

Microalgae are recognised as promising feedstock for biofuel production. The feasibility in
commercial scale microalgae cultivation could be enhanced by incorporating palm oil mill …

Ballast water is carried by cruise ships, large tankers, and bulk cargo carriers to acquire the
optimum operating depth of the propeller and to maintain maneuverability and stability …

Extensively updated for the second edition, this handy guide covers the safety engineering
of ship-shaped offshore installations at every stage of design, construction, operation …

Transportation and translocation of non-native species by ships through ballast water is one
of the current issues the shipping industry is trying to address. The Ballast Water Convention …

Rotifers in algal open ponds consume microalgae rapidly, eventually causing the pond to
crash. Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) has been suggested as a means of controlling rotifers …

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 …

Laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the effects of an integrated ballast
water treatment system on the viability of test species of phytoplankton (Tetraselmis suecica) …

The transportation of dangerous aquatic organisms and pathogens in ballast tanks causes
problems on a global scale and therefore, The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has …
