MARINER OMNIPURE® Series M55 Technology Overview

The processing function of every MARINER OMNIPURE Series M55 unit is the same — regardless of size. The automatic treatment process for generating oxidant on-demand is simple and proven effective. The MARINER OMNIPURE Series M55 systems have received Bureau Veritas certification for IMO Resolution MEPC.159(55).

• Stage 1: The sewage and seawater are combined within a mixing spool to insure a homogeneous mix. Then the process flow is routed through the tubular electrolytic cell where DC current and voltage are applied to effectively oxidize the waste stream. Significant changes in the waste stream take place due to a rapid oxidation of the bacteria and the sodium hypochlorite produced by the electrolytic cell.

• Stage 2: Upon exiting the electrolytic cell, the process stream is further oxidized within multiple oxidizer chambers that allow for an extended contact time and agitation of the stream.

• Stage 3: Upon exiting the oxidation chambers, the stream passes through multiple dechlorination chambers where a sodium sulfite solution is injected to effectively dechlorinate the treated process stream.

• Stage 4: Once the treated effluent stream exits the unit, the flow is then routed overboard via the ship’s sea-check valve to sea. Since this is a pressurized flow-through system, additional overboard pump(s) are not required.
