oilywatertreat The most effective and economically attractive solution for treating oily waste water on vessels and keeping our oceans cleaner

Coordinator: SP/F KPT (FO)

FMT has developed a novel Oil Water Separator (OWS) solution that can treat large amounts of oily waste water on-board of large ships, dramatically reducing their need to store sludge on board and thereby eliminates the need for costy disposal of sludge on land. Current solutions can only treat the lightly polluted bilge water but not the heavily contaminated sludge. This leads to a need to store between 300-800 liters of sludge, depending on the size of the ship. Increasingly stringent regulation forces shipping owners to discharge the sludge before harbor entry, resulting in high disposal c…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €50k toward a total project budget of €71k — a funding rate of 70%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 0.5 years from 2018-04-01 to 2018-09-30.
