Navalis' study and work with the treatment of wastewater onboard ships, has concluded that although biological based systems produce good quality effluent, they are complicated to operate, have a large footprint in terms of tankage and deck space, and are susceptible to periodic chemical upsets. Biological based systems can be expensive to operate due to costs of chemicals, required provisioning of these chemicals, long start-up times (order days) and they produce large amounts of sludge. In contrast to the disadvantages of most existing systems, Navalis Poseidon^® optimum wastewater treatment systems:

• US Coast Guard / IMO Type Approved
• Are small in footprint
• Produce dischargeable effluent minutes after startup
• Require virtually no chemical additions
• Are simple to operate
• Minimal solids production, no biological sludge produced
• Are constructed of the most durable components
• Produce a high quality effluent exceeding the most stringent effluent requirements day-after-day
