Biological treatment of wastewater: Enhancing vessel wastewater management

The biological treatment of wastewater is a vital component of modern marine waste water management strategies. As regulatory pressure increases and environmental awareness grows, shipowners are looking towards integrating advanced solutions such as bioreactors and marine incinerators for optimal compliance and efficiency. At G&O Bioreactors, we recognise the importance of reliable, efficient, and compliant treatment systems, both for solid waste and wastewater management onboard vessels and offshore installations.

Biological treatment of wastewater involves the use of naturally occurring microorganisms within controlled environments such as bioreactors to break down organic pollutants in liquid waste streams. By harnessing biological processes, contaminants are reduced, making the treated water safer for discharge according to international maritime regulations.

Vessels and offshore platforms generate significant volumes of wastewater, including greywater, blackwater, and oily bilge water. Our solutions meet stringent IMO MARPOL Annex IV and VI requirements while supporting broader environmental objectives.

• Improves compliance with regulatory standards for wastewater disposal
• Reduces environmental impact by minimising hazardous discharges
• Supports sustainable operations and lowers operational risks
• Can be combined with sludge oil incinerators for a total waste management solution
• Low energy consumption with high treatment efficiency
