CompactClean Bulker
CompactClean Bulker Ballast Water Management System
The CompactClean Bulker BWMS is the CAPEX competitive choice for operators in the dry bulk segment.
The CompactClean Bulker BWMS provides you exactly the flexibility that you need and deploys the same proven principles and quality as the CompactClean and CompactClean OptIMO. It reduces CAPEX and OPEX through an optimized design for high de-ballast flowrates, while maintaining reliable, automated, and compact performance.
CompactClean Bulker – Optimized for Dry Bulk Carriers
The CompactClean Bulker is tailored to meet the operational patterns of dry bulk carriers.
Typically, it takes a bulk carrier longer to unload its cargo than to load it. Therefore, the de-ballast operation is often carried out at a higher flow rate, since two (or more) pumps will operate during de-ballasting, while one pump is operated during ballasting. Since the mechanical filtration is by-passed during de-ballast, the system is equipped with a smaller filter relative to the UV capacity. This will have a significant effect on the CAPEX and OPEX.
Built on the same proven design principles as other DESMI Ballast Water Systems, the Bulker variant ensures dependable performance, easy operation, and a space-saving installation.
The CompactClean Bulker uses the same dual mode software as the CompactClean OptIMO solution. Dual-mode software takes care of the correct treatment scheme after the operator inputs which mode to operate the system in. The destination port will determine whether the system should operate in IMO or USCG mode.
CompactClean Bulker maintains strong treatment performance even in waters with low UV transmission – down to 40% UVT in US waters and 35% UVT in the rest of the world (IMO mode). This ensures compliance and operational reliability in diverse conditions, while preserving the efficiency and quality associated with DESMI ballast water systems.

CompactClean Ballast Water Management System has a great number of special features
✔ Smooth Port Operations
✔ High Efficiency Keeps your OPEX Down
✔ Integrated and Compliant Solution for Ballast Stripping Operations
✔ Fully Automated with Easy Integration into Ship Automation System
✔ Intelligent Control
✔ Long Lifetime of Components Gives you Reliable Treatment and Low OPEX
Smooth port operations
Automatic adjustment of treatment to handle dirty or low-UV water without triggering alarms or halting discharge. This keeps port operations running smoothly and avoids costly delays.
High efficiency and low OPEX
The UV chambers in CompactClean are designed through extensive CFD simulations to achieve maximum treatment efficiency. By utilizing every kilowatt of UV light effectively, it reduces power consumption and operational costs.
Integrated ballast stripping solution
The CompactClean system uses its filter backflush pump as a dedicated stripping pump during de-ballasting, eliminating the need for ejectors. This ensures full IMO and USCG compliance and reduces wear by preventing untreated water from entering the system. One system, one pump – multiple functions.
Fully automated operation
PLC-controlled system integrates easily with ship automation. Simple one-touch operation for ballasting and de-ballasting ensures effortless compliance.
Durable construction
The CompactClean UV units are made of cast Nickel-Alu-Bronze with proven sea-water corrosion resistance. This ensures a long lifetime, minimizing maintenance and downtime.
