Summary:
Pretreatment of oily bilge water with BilgeRemed before passing through Oil Water Separators reduces TPH of discharge water to less than 15 ppm of oil as set by the International Maritime Organization. BilgeRemed is effective in ship board bioremediation of oily bilge water both in ships during sailing as well as ships berthed at the shore. BilgeRemed was effective in reducing the TPH of the water in the bilge water holding tank to 5 ppm in 3 weeks' time in a field evaluation on ships in both situations.
