Abstract：In order to prevent and control the risk of species invasion brought by ballast water,it is in-creasingly important to effectively and quickly identify the biological density in ballast water.The IMO circular indicates that indicative analysis can be used for rapid detection of ballast water,but the type of compliance monitoring devices(CMDs)has not been specified.Internationally,a unified scheme for e-valuating CMDs has not yet been formed,so it is urgent to verify the practical application feasibility of existing CMDs.This paper discusses the application feasibility of three compliance monitoring devices with different principles at home and abroad,FDA(CHN),PAM(U.K)and PAM(CHN),in the com-missioning test of ballast water management system(BWMS).The results show that the identification and detection accuracy of the three devices is low in the detection of inflow water.But PAM(U.K)and PAM(CHN)have high accuracy for the detection of effluent water after filtering-ultraviolet and filtra-tion-electrolysis-neutralization processes,so they can be used as auxiliary tools for commissioning test.The detection stability of FDA(CHN)still needs to be improved.This study provides a data basis for the upgrading and improvement of compliance monitoring devices,and also provides a basis for the sci-entific selection of devices for port state supervision and inspection.
