The future of ecological ships: water recycling, energy recovery GreenShip

With ACQUA.ecologie / BioMicrobics France, we imagined the ports and ships of the future. Thanks to our technologies, we offer complete solutions for the management, energy recovery and recycling of wastewater generated on board and on land. - For more information: https://acqua.eco/smartport/ ECOLOGICAL GREENSHIP Whether it’s on a cruise ship or any other kind of vessel, onboard waste management is a critical issue. On each ship, wastewater accounts for several thousand cubic meters of waste per day. Regulations require ships to be equipped with a wastewater treatment system, or wastewater storage tank. As of today, most treated water is discharged offshore and is neither reused nor recycled. But tomorrow, thanks to our solutions, we will finally be able to give it a second life! Our modular solution combines a membrane ultrafiltration system with a heat recovery system to produce reusable water and heat from wastewater. A complete solution for greener, more economical and more sustainable ships. ---------- - Recycles water: 100% of wastewater can be recycled and reused, which puts an end to wastewater discharges at sea. - Recovers energy: 50% of the thermal energy in wastewater can be reused as a pre-heater for hot water. - More ecological: Reduces energy consumption at all levels and therefore the associated CO2 emissions. ------------------ Whether it’s on a cruise ship or any other kind of vessel ship , onboard waste management is a critical issue. On each ship, wastewater accounts for several thousand cubic meters of waste per day. Regulations require ships to be equipped with a wastewater treatment system, or wastewater storage tank. As of today, most treated water is discharged offshore and is neither reused nor recycled. But tomorrow, thanks to our solutions, we will finally be able to give it a second life! Typically, a passenger uses about 150 liters of water per day. Heating water requires a lot of energy. But hot water is only used for a few seconds before being disposed of, still hot. ACQUA will reuse 100% of gray water, and protect the environment. How? By extracting heat from wastewater, and using it to preheat feedwater heaters. This modular tech can be installed in each cabin or centralized in technical areas. Compact, durable and efficient, it not only doubles the quantity of available hot water, but also reduces CO2 emissions and energy costs by nearly 40%! Once the energy is collected, the wastewater is sent to the designated treatment and recycling area. Powered by our modular and compact technology, that is MARPOL and US Coast Guard certified, BioBarrier MarineMBR suppresses 100% of water pollutants, without using any chemicals. It provides readily reusable clear and odorless water, free of viruses, bacteria and chemical pollutants. This positive-impact optimized process allows reuse of water onboard, in a way that guarantees significant water and energy savings, while preserving the environment. “A complete solution for greener and more sustainable ships.”
