Introduction, characteristic
ACO MARINE is a part of the international
ACO group and is located in Ringsted in
Denmark. The unique system solutions and
products of ACO MARINE are mainly used in
the waste water collection and treatment
and are ranging from gullies and channels
through a stainless steel pipe system into
a grease separator and
a waste water treatment
plant. ACO MARINE is
manufacturing all standard
and specified parts and
components by itself from
stainless steel, mild steel,
PP and PE HD.
ACO Maripur - the new highest standard of
waste water treatment plants for marine
applications.

The ACO Maripur with low-pressure
micro-filtration units offers the following advantages:
Compact process due to high sludge dry
substance in the reactor. This enables
the scarce space on ships and marine
structures to be made available for other
useful purposes.
Removal rates are significantly better
than what is required by current legislation. This gives operators the confidence
that they will meet all likely future legislation and may even be allowed to discharge waste water in areas where this is
currently prohibited (zero-emission
areas).

There is no need for an environmentally
harmful and expensive secondary treatment stage for disinfection. Secondary
chlorination indispensable in conventional
systems is not necessary for biological
membrane systems, which form a barrier to the activated sludge, suspended
solids, bacteria and even viruses.
The application of micro-filtration units
instead of conventional solution provides
full resistance of the system against sea
movement.
Simple, largely automated process,
which is convenient to operate for the
crew, thus minimizing acceptance and
comprehension problems.
Possibility to treat all waste waters
(black and grey water) in one reactor.
This provides potential to save further
expensive and space-intensive
equipment.

Technological description
The ACO Maripur waste water treatment
plants were developed based on the biological waste water treatment technology in
combination with submerged micro-filtration units and were optimised for use on
ships and marine structures. The microfiltration units (2) are directly installed in
the bioreactor (1) and are equipped by
aerated elements below. All other devices
are situated outside of the bioreactor on
one wall of it.
The waste water enters the bioreactor
through inlet pipe on a top.
The aerobic degradation of water contaminants is provided by permanent aeration
through the aerated elements below microfiltration units. Due to the upward air flow
within the membrane modules, the membrane surface is permanently swept and
freed of adhering solids.
The biologically cleaned waste water is withdrawn exclusively through micro-filtration
units by the effluent pump (4). The low suction pressure of 0.10.2 bar (max. 0.4 bar)
on the trans-membrane side effectively prevents solid filter cakes from building up on
the membranes.
The surplus sludge is discharged periodically from the bioreactor by surplus sludge
pump (5)
To avoid increasing of a foam in the bioreactor is the ACO Maripur equipped by the
antifoam unit consisting of antifoam liquid
barrel (6) and dosing pump (7).
Efficiency of purification
The ACO Maripur system applies to ships
and marine structures the process of biological waste water treatment in combination
with submerged low-pressure micro-filtration membranes, which act as barriers to
the activated sludge as well as to bacteria
and viruses. Accordingly the ACO Maripur
technology purifies water - without any final
clarification - that meets the quality stan-

Sizing, design
The ACO Maripur was developed as
a modular system of four basic sizes for
purification of waste water from 25, 50,
100 and 200 people. However we are
ready to produce individual solutions for
any other request.
The bioreactor is produced from stainless
steel AISI 316Ti as standard. The bioreactor from other materials is as well possible
after a consultation.
The ACO Marine units are equipped by
electric components 400 460 volts,
50 or 60 Hz.
