VOS™ FEATURES AND BENEFITS

N.E.I.’s patented Venturi Oxygen Stripping™ (VOS™) System uses deoxygenation and cavitation to ensure 100% compliance with IMO’s Ballast Water Discharge Standards, safely and cost-effectively eliminating harmful aquatic organisms without the use of active substances.

The VOS™ System creates a low-oxygen, non-toxic environment which protects the ship’s ballast tank coatings against degradation and prevents corrosion of steel surfaces, thereby extending the vessel’s useful life to more than 30 years and delivering a compelling return on investment.
