ERMA FIRST BWTS Spare Parts: Purchase-Order Identification Requirements
Updated
An ERMA FIRST spare-parts order should identify the installed system and the component itself. The system name does not establish which analyser, pump, sensor or revision is fitted, nor whether a previously supplied part remains the correct replacement.

Key takeaways
- System and component identities
- Full reference, revision and quantity
- Alternative-offer technical basis
- Delivery and installation requirements
Establish the installed configuration
Provide vessel/IMO, BWMS model and serial, component nameplate and the relevant drawing or parts-list reference. Identify modifications and previous replacements. Where the request concerns TRO equipment, include the analyser manufacturer's identity separately from the ERMA FIRST system designation.
Specify the procurement line
Record full part reference, quantity, description and any revision information. Attach photographs as supporting evidence, not as the only specification. An alternative offer should state its technical basis and any difference from the requested item; a supplier's compatibility claim should not be accepted solely because it names the same BWTS brand.
Connect supply to service
Identify whether installation, calibration or functional verification is required and who will perform it. State port, agent and delivery deadline. Sea Clean supplies and services EC BWTS requirements independently for ERMA FIRST; this does not imply ERMA FIRST OEM-agent authorisation or unverified stock availability.
Illustrative procurement scenario
A buyer requests an ERMA FIRST TRO reagent using only the BWMS model. The analyser nameplate and existing labels identify the actual consumable requirement. The quotation then names the offered reference and pack contents. This equipment-level step prevents the treatment-system brand from being used as an unsupported substitute for analyser compatibility.
Sea Clean service and quotation requirements
Sea Clean services all EC BWTS manufacturers and variants, including annual instrument calibration, calibration certificates, diagnostics and spare-parts support. Sea Clean is an authorised Headway agent; other manufacturers are serviced independently.
Include the following with the email request: ERMA FIRST nameplates, component references, quantities and delivery/service requirements. Multiple vessels in the same area or along an efficient route can be assessed for shared mobilisation. Prices, component availability and attendance arrangements are stated in the quotation.
Service scope and vessel attendance: BWTS service, calibration and testing coordination
Frequently asked questions
Is an ERMA FIRST system model enough to order TRO reagents?
No. Include the installed analyser and reagent reference. Measurement equipment and consumable chemistry must be identified at component level.
