Data Log Analysis

Many BWMS issues can be diagnosed remotely. Send us your data logs and we'll find the problem - often without anyone stepping aboard.

The data

Your BWMS tells its own story

Every ballast water management system generates operational data: flow rates, pressures, temperatures, valve positions, treatment doses, and sensor readings. This data tells us exactly what the system is doing and where things go wrong, and by reading that story we can often pinpoint the root cause without ever stepping aboard your vessel.

TRO falls to 0.53 mg/L while flow holds steady. The oxidant dose cut out mid-uptake, so the ballast went in under-treated. A dosing or cell fault, not a sensor glitch, and a biological-efficacy fail.

What we find

What a single set of logs reveals

One data upload gives us a clear diagnostic picture:

  • Spot flow restrictions, sensor drift, and treatment failures.
  • Pinpoint exactly when and why a problem started.
  • Determine if failures stem from operator error, bad installation, or design flaws.
  • With AIS tracking, map where water quality challenges your system and plan contingency measures.
  • Improve efficiency and reduce your environmental impact.

The problem

Diagnosing blind

Guessing at root causes means slower answers, higher costs, and the same faults coming back.

  • Guessing at root causes
  • Expensive site visits with no clear scope
  • Recurring issues that never get resolved
  • No evidence for manufacturer warranty claims
  • Challenging water with no contingency

Speed & cost

Data-driven answers

Data log analysis is a fast, low-cost way to diagnose a BWMS. We deliver a diagnosis within days, and when an on-site visit is needed, we arrive already knowing what to fix.

  • Exact root cause identification
  • Fast, targeted site visits (only when necessary)
  • Permanent fixes for recurring problems
  • Hard data to back up manufacturer warranty claims
  • Pre-emptive planning for challenging water
