Scandlines has chosen Luxembourg-based APATEQ to develop, build and supply a new compact scrubber water treatment system in Gedser harbour, Germany, for use by two of its ferries.
APATEQ’s containerised MarinePaq plant will treat wastewater produced by the exhaust gas cleaning scrubber system onboard the ferries, removing particles of heavy metals, hydrocarbons and soot. The MarinePaq system uses high-efficiency primary treatment, followed by ultrafiltration and heavy metal extraction.
Following the MarinePaq treatment processes, the effluent produced can be discharged directly into Gedser harbour. Any sludge produced is then compacted by an integrated chamber filter press before it is safely disposed of in landfill sites.
The plant will be delivered, installed and commissioned in Gedser harbour in spring 2016.
