Unitor Oily Water Pod

Introducing the Unitor Oily Water Pod IMO oily water regulations MEPC60(33) and 107(49) and their strict enforcement have created challenges for the marine industry. This is because the range of laboratory certified Oily Water Separators (OWS) do not always perform as tested, in an actual and often extreme marine environment. A fresh approach is needed. The Unitor Oily Water Pod is just that; a new adsorption technology based on the patented MYCELX® compound. The range of 1.0, 2.5 and 5m3/hr polishing systems are certified by Lloyd’s Register to 5ppm on the MEPC107(49) test emulsion. The Unitor Oily Water Pod assists

the OWS by covering its performance shortfalls. This enables the vessel to discharge bilge within the allowable limit of 15ppm when previously it may have had to land it ashore at considerable cost. Being robust and highly efficient, the Unitor Oily Water Pod system stands out from the crowd by treating both free phase oil and stable emulsions effectively. This, combined with ease of installation and operation, means the Unitor Oily Water Pod is where oily water problems end and peace of mind begins.

Frequently Asked Questions Why would I need a Unitor Oily Water Pod System? The Unitor Oily Water Pod is vital if the OWS fails to achieve 15ppm either some or all of the time. It also serves as an insurance policy and best practice indicator. How does it work? It is an adsorption technology based on the patented MYCELX® compound, which is cured onto polypropylene filter tubes called Adsorption Elements. Upon contact with MYCELX® oil gets sticky and elastic which permanently traps it in the Adsorption Elements. Where do I install the Unitor Oily Water Pod in my system? It should be placed after the OWS and before the Oil Content Meter (OCM). Installation is easy thanks to the small footprint and flexible layout. There is no need for electrical connections, and a bilge pump upgrade normally isn’t required. I have an IMO compliant 15ppm Oily Water Separator. Why do I need more equipment? Despite certification, OWS equipment tends to fail under real life conditions. Proof of this lies in the high level of fines being levied. The Unitor Oily Water Pod closes the gap between the 15ppm limit and the actual performance of OWS. How much training will the crew require and how long do the Adsorption Elements last? Minimal training is required because the system is self activating. Crew only have to monitor the second stage visual status indicator and changeover the elements typically every 6 – 9 months. This takes approximately half an hour.

There are several polishing systems on the market – what makes the Unitor Oily Water Pod special? Having the MYCELX® chemistry in the filter elements and not having it is the difference between day and night. Also, although other products have Type Approval too, unless the approval relates to the MEPC 107(49) standard, as our does, it offers no indication of performance. How can used Adsorption Elements be disposed of? Used elements are non-hazardous and burn well, so incineration is best. Alternatively they can be landed as oily waste. Always comply with local regulations when incinerating waste. Why is it certified to 5ppm when today’s rules call for 15ppm? The 5ppm capability provides the operator with a margin of safety. It is also to facilitate companies with self imposed limits of 5ppm in anticipation of tougher standards. Can the Unitor Oily Water Pod be used instead of an OWS? Unitor’s Oily Water Pod system is intended to complement the primary OWS rather than replace it.

“a fresh solution to an old problem”

Features & Benefits Effective Performance • Cost efficient thanks to typical 6 – 9 month adsorption element lifetime • Typical operational costs for treating 1 m3 of bilge water are between USD5-10. Landing costs for the same amount could be upward of USD120. • System will stay under 15ppm limit regardless of whether oil is in free phase or in emulsion • Advanced technology - captured oil is permanently immobilised • Rough weather conditions have no effect on performance

Easy Installation & Operation • The small footprint and flexible layout makes installation very simple • The system self activates - minimal supervision required during operation • Only requires plumbing into bilge line. No electrical connections. Flange kits supplied • Low pressure drop at saturation (approx. 1bar), - bilge pump upgrade normally unnecessary • Visual indicator system shows when Adsorption Elements reach full capacity

Exceeds Environmental Regulatory Standards • Certified by Lloyd’s Register to 5ppm with the IMO MEPC 107(49) test emulsion in 1, 2.5 and 5m3/hr versions • Captures emulsified oil and free oil with same effectiveness • Recognised by authorities as a ‘best practice’ indicator during inspections

First status indicator serves as a comparison for second indicator. This will discolour as soon as oil enters the system.
