During the Nor-Shipping Conference, Wärtsilä presented its development work on a smart concept for onboard water and waste systems. The work consists of the latest environmental technology and expertise, along with real-time data collection and digital modelling.
Specifically, the project aspires to create a smart approach to handling a vessel’s waste. This will provide many advantages over conventional treatment systems, since human error that can result in illegal discharges, will be eliminated.
Our development work with this smart water and waste treatment system represents a key component within the Smart Marine Ecosystem that will ensure a successful future for our customers
… Mr Arto Lehtinen, Director, Water & Waste, Wärtsilä Marine noted.
The concept provides a trouble-free operation, full regulatory compliance, valuable cost savings resulting from the higher level of efficiency attained, and the lack of harmful impact on the marine environment. In addition, the possibility of remote monitoring will enable operational improvements based on real-time facts validated against a digital twin of the system.

Concluding, Wärtsilä aspires to create a holistic integrated system that will deliver cost and energy efficiencies, while also save on physical space requirements. System reporting will be automatically generated, and in line with local and international port regulations. The development project is ongoing and involves close cooperation with customers.
