      abstract = {Integration with the vessel Automation and Control system  is a critical milestone in a Ballast Water Treatment System  (BWTS) retrofit project.  When completed properly, it  provides for simple and intuitive operation of the BWTS and  supports compliance with ballast water  regulations.   Integration results in seamless  operation and monitoring of the ballast pumps and valves  together with the BWTS at control stations in the Engine  Control Room and/or bridge.  It provides appropriate  interlocks and alarms to ensure that the BWTS is not  bypassed through ship’s valves, which are not  controlled and monitored by the BWTS.  It also  encourages and supports the required log entries in the  Ballast Water Logbook.   A structured approach to this  integration work results in fleet wide consistency,  providing maximum benefit to the owner by reducing the risk  of non-compliance as well as reducing the future cost of  technical support and training.},
