Publication number: 20240067548Abstract: The present invention is a system for treating effluent from robotic equipment used to remove marine biofouling, primarily targeting organisms such as orange cup coral, which collect on hulls of floating units for transporting oil and derivatives thereof, or on production and exploration platforms. The system involves separating the flow into two elemental phases: solid and liquid. In the solid-phase flow, treatment is carried out in steps essentially comprising particle-size reduction, direct oxidation, oxidation residence, separation, drying, temporary hermetic storage, packaging, and automatic transportation for final storage. The liquid phase includes a step of centrifuging, adsorption, inerting, and discharge of treated effluent into the sea in accordance with environmental law. The entire system is automated to minimize manual actions and interventions, and is programmed to run without interruption as a function of the flowrate of raw effluent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Marcelo Luiz LIGEIRO BARBOSA, Edisiene DE SOUZA CORREIA, Lucas SARMENTO NEVES DA ROCHA, Edna DOS SANTOS ALMEIDA, Mateus DOS SANTOS DE MENEZES, Carlos Eduardo DA SILVA JORGE, Frederico GARCIA DE OLIVEIRA, Luis Carlos MORENO LEDEZMA, Alexandro QUIRINO DA SILVA, Joaquim RANYERE SANTANA DE OLIVEIRA
