EcoStream Bilge Water

Treatment System

Alfa Laval's EcoStream Bilge Water

Treatment Systems has been approved by IMO for complaince with IMO requirements (IMO Resolution MEPC 104 79) that took effect as of January 1, 2005. As of this date, all bilge water pumped overboard from all new builds and retrofits on existing ships must meet previous standards for an oil content under 15 ppm and also fulfill new stan- dards for contaminants in the form of emulsions of oils, chemicals, detergents and other particles.

EcoStream has also been submitted for certification by the US Coast Guard.

The EcoStream System is intended for installation onboard ships or other marine units to reduce the oil content in the bilge water to less than 15 ppm. In the EcoStream System, untreated bilge water is filtered, preheated and fed to the cleaning module by a feed pump. An oil- in-water-monitor on the clean water out- let is set to the required value. When the oil content is below the acceptable value, the clean bilge water goes to the clean bilge tank or is discharged over- board. If the value is too high, it is returned to the bilge water feed tank.

EcoStream can reportedly treat bilge water to well below IMO standards, but tough emulsions may require a further treatment phase. Although EcoStream is designed to operate without chemicals and does not include a dosing unit as standard, feed conditioning chemicals can be added before the feed pump.

New Lint Removal System for HAL

Air Dynamics Industrial Systems

Corporation designs and manufactures pollution control equipment for ship- board operations. Lint Removal

Systems (LRS) for main and crew laun- dries in addition to high efficiency

Galley Hoods for galley areas.

Subsequent to a major cruise ship fire in 1998, Air Dynamics Industrial

Systems Corp designed and built a sys- tem to aid in preventing similar inci- dents. Since the design and develop- ment of this system, the company has retrofitted, fleet-wide the Holland

America Line (HAL) with LRS systems.

Each vessel's system is custom designed to fit all space constraints for operator access and maintenance.
