BilgeVAP^™
Bubba proof! Marine Water Evaporator
(PATENT PENDING)
Evaporate Your Managed Water Problems Away!
ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE

Bilge Water, Gray Water, Treated Black Water
"Nothing overboard!"
No discharge zone?      No problem!
ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE!
GONE - done - end of story!

Skimoil's^® BilgeVAP is a partial answer to the marine waste water management requirements presented by the new EPA enforcement of the Clean Water Act. The BilgeVAP by Skimoil^® evaporates away the water portion of oily bilge water, gray water and even treated black water coming off of Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) allowing workboats, barges and even shore facilities to become no discharge zones.

With this simple, rugged device, all the water or slops are automatically heated to boiling and turned into vapor that is then vented to atmosphere through a blower-assisted stack. Venting is easy. Water vapor is not considered a pollutant. Electric heating gives you no emissions!

BilgeVAP evaporates your water disposal problems!

Bilge water, gray water, treated black water! GONE!

July 12, 2010 - Shipping company fined for discharging oily wastewater

May 27, 2010 - New York State Canal System now ‘no discharge zone’

October 1, 2009 - Polembros Shipping LTD. Pleads Guilty to Crimes Related to Pollution from Cargo Ship Traveling to New Orleans

July 15, 2009 - Manager of Tugboat Company Indicted for Clean Water Act Violations

November 7, 2008 - EPA designates several New York counties including Hempstead Harbor, Nassau County, as Vessel Waste No Discharge Zones!

Seemingly a lot of boat operators being impacted heavily by the new EPA enforcement of the Clean Water Act, thought that simply running gray water out thru their MSD chlorination chamber was going to be enough treatment, when in fact they are going to have to actively manage this gray water—not just disinfect it by simply chlorinating it.

Currently, all BilgeVAPs are available in blue or green,
depending on production run.

The BilgeVAP^™ eliminates this gray water—as well as all the treated black water coming off of the MSD. If you have no water—you have nothing to manage.

The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ is engineered to quickly, automatically and safely evaporate the water away! GONE! - no more water!

Why use the "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™?
   Bubba proof operation
   ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE
   No moving parts --- duh!
   Simple operation — on/off controls
   Automatic shutoff --- runs unattended
   Autofill as an option -- hands off

NO DISCHARGE ZONE^™
The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ automatically evaporates the water away.

GONE - done - end of story!

60 GPH available in ShoreVAP model.
Natural gas, propane, and waste oil fired.

The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ marine onboard electric evaporator runs off your generators and evaporates 4-14 gallons per hour with no moving parts (except the exhaust fan)! This simple system runs unattended for up to 20 hours and shuts down by itself. It has both low water and high temperature automatic safety shutoff controls.

This is HEAVY DUTY industrial grade marine gear!
Larger sizes available (up to 60 GPH).
No moving parts!

With under floor or immersed heating, the "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ allows a 98-99% reduction of your bilge water. When the water portion has been evaporated, just the oil portion and solids remain---which can be easily drained off through the 2" drain port. The flat or funneled floor is sloped to the drain and the removeable lid makes access easy. If you watch what you feed it (oily or dirty water), you can run several batches (lots) before you need bother to clean out the oil.

Bilge water, gray water, treated black water
GONE - done - end of story!
Zero liquid discharge. Nothing over the side!

How does it compare to oil/water separators?
No comparison—and here's WHY NOT:

Marine oil/water separators are flow thru systems capable of removing free unemulsified oils from water. Our BRUTE marine oil water separators are usually used for dealing with larger amounts of bilge water—BUT cannot do anything for or to gray water or treated black water.

Some vessels are mandated to have USCG/ABS/BV certified marine oil water separators such as our BRUTE systems which are certified to meet IMO/MEPC 107(49) requirements. While these vessels are required to have these certified marine oil water separators----if they have no oily water to process (think BilgeVAP) they do not have to use the separators, they must merely have the operable separators in place and ready to use.

BilgeVAP eliminates/evaporates oily bilge water—as well as gray water and treated black water.

Our BRUTE/Boss marine separators are rugged simple systems built with high quality components---quality made in the USA. We like simple devices and we love your oil and dirt.
The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ is the alternative! It EATSwater!
"No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP^™ replaces funky oil water separators!

ZERO Liquid Discharge!

It takes 2.6 KW to evaporate 1 gallon of water.
If you've got the power, we've got the answer!
