WORLD'S LARGEST CRUISE SHIP WILL SET SAIL WITH A HEADWORKS® BIO WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM Headworks Bio Inc. is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with STX Europe in Turku, Finland, for the finalization and commissioning of the Oasis of the Seas Cruise Ship wastewater treatment system. Using innovative moving bed bioreactor ("MBBR") and Return Activated Sludge technologies, the system promises to be the first example of the latest evolution in onboard wastewater treatment.
Oasis of the Seas is the world's largest cruise ship being built by STX Europe for Royal Caribbean International. It will have capacity for 5,400 guests onboard in 2,700 staterooms with a crew contingent of 2,160 members. All black, grey, galley, food waste, and laundry wastewater generated onboard will be treated to a higher quality than the Alaska State Discharge Standards, currently the most stringent in the world.

"If everything ran like this screen, the maintenance department could all go home."
Maintenance Manager, Ed Lozon, of the Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Los Angeles, California said of the Mahr® bar screens installed there."Since their installation, the screens have gone through several storm events without ever jamming. The volume of screenings captured at Limavady is significantly greater than had been previously removed. Additionally, the headloss is considerably less than anticipated. So far, the screens' performance is very good."
Paul Davison, Project Sponsor at Northern Ireland Water remarked of the Mahr Bar screens installed at the Limavady Wastewater Treatment Works."Compared to other types of bar screens that I have worked with in the past, the rakes on the Headworks® Bar Screens are very durable, as the rakes have been able to withstand plenty of harsh solids without breaking."
Mr. LeAndrea Scott, Operations Section Chief of the Beltway WWTP in Houston, Texas, noted the strength of our equipment."The screens have functioned very well. They are well constructed. They've done a nice job for us. The construction is excellent. No problems, no maintenance, except for normal wear."
Dale Belshner, a well known expert in the wastewater industry and Piscataway Group Leader/
Plant Superintendent, says of the Headworks equipment installed at the Piscataway, Maryland plant for the WSSC. |
