The Challenge

Numerous mechanical and logistical setbacks delayed progress, including missing valves, sensors, and incomplete pipework on arrival. The project also faced emergency dry dock conflicts and mechanical design discrepancies from third-party drawings. Environmental factors like air contamination in pneumatic lines and overheating risks further complicated system start-up.

Our Solution

• Installed missing components incrementally (valves, pumps, sensors)
• Coordinated with shipyard to complete electrical work
• Replaced faulty UV sensor and air regulator
• Applied temporary jumper and reconfiguration fixes to maintain progress
• Repeatedly purged pneumatic lines to manage air contamination
• Recommended air dryer upgrade and UV chamber auto vents
• Trained crew on operation and maintenance procedures

The Result

The Optimarin BWTS on C-Installer was fully installed, powered on, and tested across all treatment modes. Alarms were cleared, treatment rates exceeded regulatory minimums, and final approval was signed off by the class society representative. Crew were successfully trained, and the vessel is now operating with a compliant and reliable system.
