INTRODUCTION
The system is able to treat the on board sewage water as to make it suitable to be discharged directly into the sea, in accordance
with the international standard (IMO-MARPOL regulation – MEPC 227).
The unit does not need to be run by any operator, who has only to start up the unit in automatic mode. The ECOmar S plant is
a batch functioning system that treat a fixed quantity of sewage at each operating cycle. Each cycle starts with the loading of a
set quantity of sewage water from the on board collecting tank (your supply). After loading, the sewage is diluted with clean
seawater and pre-set quantities of Hydrogen Peroxide (H
2
O
2
) and ECOFLOC Flocculants are added. Finally the sewage is
macerated and mixed for a fixed period of time, after which it is made to rest for a further fixed period of time. During these
steps, lasting some minutes, the chemical-physical reactions inside the system disinfect the water, reduce the dimensions of
sediments and separate the cleared water from the sludge. At this point, the cleared water pass throughout a multimedia filter
station and an U.V. sterilizer and finally it is discharged outboard into the sea, according to the International Rules (IMO-
MARPOL regulation – MEPC 227). In the final step of the operation cycle the system discharges the residual sludge into the
on board sludge tank (your supply).
The automatic mode functioning is continuous in that the unit is able to start-up automatically a sewage treatment cycle every
time the set quantity of stored sewage; relative to the collecting tank level (Max Level) set to start-up the cycle; is reached
inside the on board collecting tank (your supply).
Each operating cycle lasts about 22-25 minutes. For the sewage quantities treated by the plant refer to the
TREATMENT
CAPACITY
section.

STORAGE PRIOR TO UNPACKING AND PACKAGING CONTENT
2.1
Storage Prior to Unpacking
⇒
Do not store in direct sunlight.
⇒
Do not freeze (see
SPECIAL PROCEDURES
section).
⇒
Do not store above 50°C (122°F).
⇒
Store only on base with arrows up.
2.2
Unpacking
a)
Open the wood case, if any, being careful to do not hit the protruding parts of the components, such as fittings or pipes,
hose-barbs, flange, etc.
b)
Use caution in moving the STP plant and all its loose parts with a forklift or a pallet truck after it is removed from the
shipping crate. Place wood or other material onto the metal forks of the forklift (pallet truck) which can damage the powder
coating on the underside of the skid.
c)
Always remember that, despite being accurately packaged and protected, the supply contains light bulbs and quartz tubes:
this means that the entire system must be considered as fragile material and handled as such.
