This week, Raleigh-based EnSolve Biosystems is shipping one of its biofilters to Antarctica for use on a commercial fishing vessel. EnSolve Biosystems manufactures a complete pollution-prevention solution for bilge water used by cruise ships, oil tankers, ferr ies, tankers and commercial fishing vessels. EnSolve's core product, the PetroLiminator, is an oily water separator that handles phase-separated oil, emulsified oil and other contaminants that typically end up in the ship's bilge. The system is designed to pump water directly from the ship's bilge or oily water collection tank and reduce the total petroleum hydrocarbons found in the water.
Unlike conventional oil water separators, the Petro Liminator actually destroys oil and grease using naturally occurring bacteria. The PetroLiminator is an automated bio-mechanical system which requires low maintenance and has been employed on a variety of s hip platforms since 2000. Increasingly, ship owners around the world are switching to this technology that offers easy-to-use, green technology that comes with low operating costs.
EnSolve Biosystems CEO Jason Caplan recently joined the N.C. Department of Commerce's International Trade Division in Halifax, Nova Scotia to promote the company's products at BioMarine 2013
