  • Publication number: 20240067548
    Abstract: 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.
