Unitor™ Bilge Water Flocculant™ is iron-free, and is completely safe to the environment.
Applications
International environmental regulations set strict rules as to the oil content in effluent water from ships. To meet these regulations, a combination of mechanical and chemical cleaning is necessary. Unitor™ Bilge Water Flocculant is used in combination with multistage bilge water cleaning systems that include mechanical separation of free oil, emulsion breaking, flocculation and filtration. After dosing, Unitor™ Bilge Water Flocculant™ breaks the oil-in-water emulsion created by contaminants in lubricating and fuel oils, emulsifying cleaning agents etc. It then destabilizes the remaining small oil droplets and agglomerates them into larger particles (flocs) that are easily collected by filtering.
Features
• Cost-effective bilge water treatment based on specially selected Poly
Aluminium Chloride
• Iron-free. Completely safe to the environment
• Acts by both breaking the oil-in-water emulsion and by building flocs
• Remaining oil sludge can be burned onboard or pumped ashore-contains very
little water
• Approved by manufacturers of bilge water cleaning systems
Benefits
• Helps to meet environmental regulations on oil content. Discharged water
contains normally less than 3ppm oil
• Low dosage, economical use
• Effective over an extended pH-range. Eliminates the use of pH-stabilising
chemicals
