Introduction
Jean-François Douard, CEO of DAMSIA, founded the company in 2017 to enhance the environmental impact of the shipping industry. DAMSIA focuses on providing solutions for processing oily bilge water and sludges, which are challenging to manage onboard ships.

Product Overview
The Oily Water Separator (OWE) by DAMSIA is designed to efficiently separate water from pollutants, producing crystal clear water at 15ppm or 5ppm. The system is automatic, requiring no attending personnel, and is maintenance-friendly.

Specifications

• Certifications: 15ppm Marpol MEPC 107(49) TAC 61369/A0 MED, 5ppm BV TAC 61370/A0 BV
• Requirements: Main engine cooling water (heat), sea water (cooling)
• Capacity: Suitable for ships from 50 to 300 meters, scalable from 5 m3/day to 100 m3/day

Innovative Process
The OWE 5000 employs a patented process involving two-phase transitions: from oily water to vapor, then to distillate water. This method ensures fine separation of water from pollutants, using waste heat recovery from the main engine.

Stages of Treatment

1. Stage 1: Coalescing and Settling - Utilizes a coarse coalescing mat to settle easily catchable floating oil, minimizing clogging and performance drop.
2. Stage 2: Phase Transition - Breaks down stable emulsions containing dissolved oil or contaminants by boiling the water out of the effluent at negative pressure, then condensing it into clear distillate water.

Additional Features

• Primary settling tank for partial separation of heavy and light phase contaminants.
• Automatic detection and drainage of contaminants to a waste oil tank.
• Continuous monitoring with a 15ppm or 5ppm sensor and a three-way valve to divert improperly cleaned water.
