Through its network of subsidiaries and distributors across six continents, DESMI has delivered pumps and systems to customers in more than 100 counties worldwide.

DESMI’s pumps also have efficiency ratings of up to 85%, providing the best performance in their class.

CompactClean Ballast Water Management System is the leading water management system in the marine industry, providing unrivalled treatment performance and the lowest energy consumption in its class. CompactClean is IMO and DNV type approved and tested to meet the latest requirements and guidelines adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the US Coast Guard. CompactClean can be used in all water salinities and temperatures and its UV-transmittance ranges from very high to very low. The UV unit is specially designed and manufactured by DESMI and its unique shape helps to ensure that the highest possible dose of UV is applied to all organisms in the treated water.

DESMI’s CompactClean Ballast Water Management and Treatment Systems offer high-quality and compliant performance anywhere in the world, even in extremely dirty and challenging water conditions. CompactClean has no salinity or temperature limitations and can fit in any vessel type, as it is available in various sizes, ranging from 35 m³/h up to 2500 m³/h. The Ballast Water Management Systems operates in the exact same way inside and outside of US territory using its single global operation mode. This helps to simplify the water management process, as the global mode works for all operations worldwide and a separate mode is not needed to comply with USCG requirements. It is therefore not necessary to need to know the de-ballast location at the time of ballast uptake, as the ballast water onboard will always be compliant for discharge in any location.
