The international focus on discharging wastewater in coastal waters is increasing. New standards for discharge and various regulations are driving the maritime industries to process all wastewater onboard. Scanship offers a complete system for wastewater treatment.

Onboard a modern cruise ship a substantial amount of foodwaste is collected from galleys, pantries and preparation. To align with future requirements, the cruise industry chooses to process foodwaste onboard. Scanship has developed an efficient vacuum system for collecting, transporting and further processing of foodwaste.

In the Bio-sludge Treatment System all sludge from wastewater and foodwaste is processed. The system is tailor made to secure the interface between liquid and solid sludge before final incineration. The main target for the bio-sludge treatment system is to reduce volume by dewatering, drying and to disinfect.

Scanship has invested considerable time and resources in making the dream a reality for ships and other autonomous sites like ports, airports and offshore platforms. Our Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis (MAP) system converts dry waste and dried food waste/ biowaste into a gaseous fuel (syngas) and biochar.

Scanship incinerators are designed in a multi-chamber configuration, semi-pyrolytic, having low flue gas emissions within IMO MARPOL regulations. The automatic feeding technology is developed to secure a homogenous combustion and low dust emission.

Scanship's Recycling System prevents the accumulation of recyclable solid waste during a ship voyage from overwhelming the precious storage spaces and work spaces, and becoming a health and safety hazard.

The availability of a plentiful, safe, clean water supply for use aboard ships has long been taken for granted. That situation is rapidly changing. Prompted by an inquiry from a customer, Scanship developed the Water Re-use Unit, WRU.

Scanship systems can be used in a variety of industrial applications for waste processing and water purification. These industries have either a requirement for discharge from productions, or simply would need to refine products through Scanship processes with separation, dewatering or drying. Landbased systems are handled by our sister company ETIA.

The intensive production of Nordic Salmon and other sea food has increased the need for water purification and residue treatment. The Scanship process consists of dewatering and drying of the aquaculture sludge.
