BMA® 45N with RA350-600 RA 350-1000

Fine Screen RA Mechanical Pre-treatment RAB

Hairs, fibrous materials, etc. can form unwanted agglomera-
tions and block/clog equipment and the membrane bioreac-
tor and therefore have to be separated from the receiving
wastewater to ensure the plant‘s safe and low-maintenance
operation. The fine screen combines a vertical strainer with
screenings washer that returns the organic contents of the
screenings to the biologic treatment as carbon source.
The separated solid matter can be sucked off directly from the
tank with a suction vehicle. As option the solids can be dewa-
tered in a screw press and packed.
For bigger applications MARTIN is working together with
well-known and experienced companies for highly efficient
pre-treatment solutions.
Separation of the solids is done by a filter mesh which is trans-
porting the screenings and enabling a thickening process
within the fully enclosed system.
The free-standing and fully closed system allows for an easy
integration for refit projects without any smell pollution dur-
ing operation. The separated solids can be bagged or trans-
ferred for further processing.

Food Waste Systems
Feeding Stations
Food Shredder Disposer (Leftovers)
Food Shredder (Food Preparation)
The food shredder is designed for the disposal of food waste
from the preparation area.
The food residues from preparation are fed into a filling
opening and shredded by means of a twin-shaft grinder. The
residues are not macerated! Thanks to cutting units of differ-
ent sizes and speeds, the cutterbar rotors are self-cleaning.
The shredded waste falls into the discharge tank and is trans-
ferred to the food waste collecting tank (MFWS) by means of
compressed air or vacuum.
Disposer (Leftovers)
Disposers are used in galley areas for the leftovers from the
plates. Food waste will be pulped to small parts and enters
by passing through an electric actuated valve to the slurry
pipe. Easy handling is saving time and space in the galley
areas, as the waste is transported via vacuum to the waste
area. No need to transport waste by hand.
Food Waste Vacuum Systems
MFWS
MFWS – Food waste tank 5 m³ with vacuum pumps
and discharge or circulation pumps.
Food Waste Vacuum Systems MFWS
Food waste treatment is a very important task onboard of
cruise vessels. A daily input of 0,8–2 kg per person and day
have to be processed, but high food waste quantities affect
the performance of the wastewater system. Our food waste
systems are easy to use and require minimal maintenance. The
food waste systems consist of one or more feeding stations
(food shredder and disposer) and a holding tank (capacity
3, 5, 10 or 15 m³). The food waste is macerated and transferred
to the holding tank via vacuum or compressed air, requiring
only small pipe diameter and less flushing water. Optional a
skimmer for dewatering can be installed if sewage systems
has sufficient capacity. The holding tank can also be used as
an upstream stage for further bio waste processing.
Galley Water Treatment
Grease traps and Flotation units

MGS 500 MSF 600

Grease Separator (MGS) Flotation Systems MSF

Grease can lead to blockages in piping systems and aggre-
gates and can even lead to plant failures. Therefore the use
of grease separators or flotation systems is essential.
The grease separator is designed for smaller application,
such as yachts and offshore platforms, removing fats, oil and
grease statically. Automatic sludge removal from the grease
separator is included in our systems as well as heating ele-
ments.
The Flotation System is designed for the quick removal of
fats, oil and grease from the galley water. Finest air bubbles
float the grease to the top of the Flotator, while the treated
water is dischared from the bottom of the unit. The flotation
systems work fully automated and achieve much higher re-
moval rates than static grease separators. Different system
designs are available with the flotation based on batch op-
eration, continuous flow and with flocculant dosing.

Sludge Silo
Designed for the storage of dewatered bio sludge with a DS
of 15 to 25%. Size is based on the necessary sea endurance
and storage time. Moving bottom and divided feeding so-
lution installed to achieve the maximum storage capacity
avoiding building of bridges. Discharge of the sludge is done
via pressure pump or screw conveyor to shore connection or
to drying system.
Dewatering Unit
Dewatering unit
For the dewatering of sewage sludge (primary and excess
sludge) and/or sludge from the food waste processing, MAR-
TIN Membrane Systems offers various dewatering processes
for thickening. Decanters or screw presses with dewatering
degrees of up 25% DS are preferred. The sludge can be col-
lected in containers/barrels or in a Sludge silo. The transfer
and discharge takes place with pressure pumps.
 Disintegration
Disintegration
With our sewage sludge disintegration, the excess sludge
can be dewatered. In addition, stabilizing and degrading
processes lead to further minimization of sewage sludge.
The sludge remains pumpable for delivery ashore. The sys-
tem is scalable in size and flow.
It is availabe as prefabricated skid. Alternatively, the equip-
ment can also be installed in ship tanks. Long discharge in-
tervals can be achieved by using the disintegration system.
Press dryer type 508
with 500 kg/d DS
Dryer
Press-dryer for dewatering and drying from wastewater
treatment sludge, consist of a dewatering unit (decanter
or screw press type) and a condensate belt dryer built in a
very compact design. Our dryers operate continuously at a
low-temperature of less than 40°C and consequently have
a small energy consumption and no high back load to the
wastewater treatment system. Beyond that, the system
does not emit any odor nuisance. The drying capacity can be
easily adapted to different sizes. The dryers do not require
any steam for processing. Inlet concentration only needs to
be higher than 0,5 % DS to achieve a product of 90 % DS.
The systems are easily scalable and can therefore be adapt-
ed to any system size.
