Lint Filter

Lint fibers, if not effectively managed, can pose a significant threat to the functionality of marine wastewater treatment systems. In maritime environments, where space is limited and systems must operate with maximum efficiency, lint accumulation from laundry facilities can cause serious operational issues. These fine fibers can clog filters, block pipes, and interfere with the overall performance of wastewater treatment systems, leading to increased maintenance requirements and costly repairs. Without proper lint management, the efficiency and longevity of onboard wastewater treatment plants may be severely compromised, creating unnecessary downtime and expenses for ship operators.

To address this critical concern, ACO Marine offers an innovative solution with its Lint Filter Range, specifically designed for marine laundry installations. These filters have been meticulously engineered to capture lint fibers before they can enter the wastewater treatment system, preventing blockages and ensuring the smooth operation of the overall drainage process. By intercepting lint at the source, ACO Marine’s lint filters help protect sensitive treatment technologies, maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire wastewater management system.


Optimized Lint Management

The ACO Lint Filter is an integral component of the Marine Wastewater Management system.

Designed for installation at one or more laundry outlets, its primary function is to ensure the removal of lint fibers at the source. This is crucial as lint fibers can adversely affect membrane and filter surfaces leading to potential blockages in pumps, valves, and pipework, thereby jeopardizing the efficiency of the downstream wastewater treatment plant.

The versatility of the ACO Lint Filter Range is evident in its design, catering to single, double, or triple washing machine inlets. Each unit is also equipped with an emergency overflow connection, emphasizing safety and operational reliability.

For durability and aesthetic considerations, the filter is available in brushed stainless steel or the robust ACO Durable Polymer Material. Tailor-made solutions are also available for ships with specific requirements.


Three-stage Filtration

Removable Filter Basket(s)

The initial stage of filtration captures larger lint particles, ensuring they do not proceed to subsequent stages.

Removable Intermediate Filter Screen(s)

This stage further refines the filtration process, targeting medium-sized particles.

Integral 3rd Stage Fixed Screen

Positioned at the outlet, this final stage ensures that only water devoid of lint fibers progresses to the wastewater treatment system.


Operational Excellence

Beyond its technical prowess, the ACO Lint filter is a testament to ACO Marine's commitment to operational excellence. The design incorporates features like surge flow and motion baffles, ensuring consistent performance even under varying conditions. This commitment to quality ensures that marine vessels equipped with the ACO Lint Filter experience fewer maintenance issues and longer operational lifespans.
