Green box unit for the Georim oily water separator
An oily water separator is used to separate oily water mixtures into their separate components. These units are installed on vessels where they are used to separate oil from oily waste water such as bilge water before the waste water can be discharged overboard back into the environment. This waste water has to comply with the requirements according to Marpol 73/78. Bilge water is unavoidable and is generated as oil/water leaks from running machinery like air compressors, engines etc. To measure the waste water before it is discharged into the sea, The International Maritime Organization (IMO) published guide regulations through the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) in order to protect the environment for pollution.
