EnSolve Biosystems says new system has passed MEPC 107(49)tests
US-based EnSolve Biosystems says it has completed and passed the MEPC 107(49) certification tests for its new compact PetroLiminator 200M (PL 200M) Oil Water Separator (OWS) system.
EnSolves president, Jason Caplan, said: We are very excited about this new product for many reasons. First, it has an attractive price point that allows us to compete with almost every OWS product on the market. Second, it has a very small footprint, thus permitting installation on any class vessel including work boats, tugs, ferries and luxury yachts. And third, the effluent quality and process through put are exceptional.
The company says that its patented PetroLiminator system is the first and only marine OWS that uses a combination of physical and biological means to treat oily bilge water. Like its PL 630M predecessor, the PL 200M OWS system incorporates safe micro-organisms to consume hydrocarbon wastes in the ships bilge water, so treated bilge water can be safely and legally discharged overboard. It treats both pure and emulsified oil, as well as detergents, degreasers and other chemicals in the water.
The larger version of PetroLiminator is already in use on a wide range of vessels.
