Marinfloc Manuals & User Guides

Marinfloc is a leading provider of sustainable maritime solutions tailored for wastewater management on ships and offshore installations. Founded with a vision for a cleaner sea, the company develops state-of-the-art systems for treating bilge water, sewage, and drill slop, ensuring compliance with stringent international environmental regulations such as MARPOL MEPC.107(49). Their core technologies utilize flocculation and dissolved air flotation to achieve exceptionally high pollutant removal rates, consistently treating water to levels well below regulatory discharge limits.

Key products include the CD and TD series oily water separators, the WhiteBox® fail-safe overboard discharge monitoring system, and EGR bleed-off water treatment units. Marinfloc systems are designed for reliability in harsh marine environments, offering automation, low maintenance, and cost-effective operation. The company also supports fleet operators through its MARS (Marinfloc Alert Report Support) digital portal, which facilitates remote monitoring, digital compliance reporting, and operational optimization. Based in Sweden, Marinfloc services a global clientele with a commitment to preserving marine ecosystems.

• What is the Marinfloc WhiteBox system?

  The WhiteBox is a fail-safe overboard discharge monitoring and control unit installed between an oily water separator and the overboard valve. It prevents water with oil content above regulatory limits from being discharged and logs key data to ensure compliance.

• How does the flocculation process work in Marinfloc units?

  Flocculation is a chemical process where agents are added to wastewater to cause tiny solid particles and oil to aggregate into larger clusters, or 'flocs,' which can then be easily separated from the water using dissolved air flotation.

• What creates corrosion issues in Marinfloc separators?

  High chloride content in bilge water (often from seawater) combined with high temperatures can cause pitting corrosion in stainless steel components. It is recommended to rinse the unit with fresh water if chloride levels exceed 1000 ppm.

• How often should the oil content meter be checked?

  The oil content meter should be flushed after every operation, and proper flow rates (0.5–4.0 liters/minute for some models) must be maintained to ensure accurate readings and compliance.

• Where can I get spare parts for Marinfloc equipment?

  Genuine spare parts and service kits can be ordered directly through Marinfloc's global after-sales support network or authorized service partners.
