Summary:
BilgeRemed is effective in ship-board bioremediation of oily bilge water both in ships under sail as well as ships berthed at the shore. Pretreating oily bilge water with BilgeRemed before passing it through oil water separators has been shown to reduce the TPH concentration in the discharge water to less than 15 ppm, as required by the International Maritime Organization. In a field evaluation on board ships under both conditions, BilgeRemed was effective in reducing the TPH concentration of water to 5 ppm in 3 weeks' time.
