Ballast Water Monitoring Using Chelsea Technologies Fastballast

fastballast is a portable ballast water compliance monitor for use with discrete or flow-through samples. it is capable of determining the phytoplankton cell density of ballast water at the imo d2 & uscg discharge standards (10 to 50 µm range) with a higher degree of confidence than laboratory analysis. fastballast’s cutting edge design enables such a rapid and detailed analysis that it is the only technology capable of operating in a flow-through mode, while providing a high degree of accuracy with a representative report on discharge compliance. these easy to use devices are leading the way to effective enforcement of the convention and will help dramatically reduce the impact of invasive species worldwide.
