UV Deodourisation Unit
Maintaining a clean and fresh environment onboard every vessel is essential not only for creating a pleasant atmosphere but also for safeguarding the health and well-being of both crew and passengers. A clean, odor-free environment is critical to ensuring that everyone onboard can work and travel in a healthy, comfortable setting.
One of the primary sources of unpleasant odours on vessels comes from wastewater treatment plants, sludge tanks, collecting tanks, and grey water tanks. Without proper management, these odours can permeate the vessel, creating discomfort for passengers and crew and, in some cases, leading to potential health risks.
ACO Marine recognizes this challenge and offers a cutting-edge solution with its ACO UV Deodorization Unit. This advanced system is meticulously designed to target and neutralize unpleasant odours at their source, ensuring that the air quality onboard remains fresh and clean. The UV Deodorization Unit works by harnessing the power of ultraviolet (UV) light to break down odor-causing molecules, effectively eliminating the source of the smell rather than merely masking it.
Three-stage Odour Neutralisation
ACO UV Deodourisation Unit
Air from tanks is drawn into a chamber with UV lighting. Here, light reflects from UV-C radiation, dissolving odours produced by bacteriological pollutants. The UV lamps also generate a low concentration of ozone, enhancing the decomposition process. This component is supposed to be installed as close to the source of the odour as possible.
ACO Carbon Tank
The unit contains filter chambers with a granulated active carbon that effectively absorbs and neutralises odours. This component is supposed to be installed as far as possible from the source of the odour, usually on the upper deck. To eliminate odour and ozone residues activated carbon acts as a reaction surface for long chain molecules and residual ozone.
