Integrated Electrochemical Processes for Synergistic Shipboard Wastewater Treatment

Abstract

Shipboard black-water, gray-water, and bilge water are normally treated separately using dedicated systems, which results in large footprints and energy consumption. This project aims to develop new integrated systems to be more compact, energy efficient, easy-to-operate, and cost effective. This collaborative team between a university lab and Navy applied research center (NSWC-CD) will focus on efficient and low-energy bilge water treatment using combined microbial and electrochemical processes, and if successful, new technologies synergizing physical, electrochemical, and biological treatment mechanisms will be developed for integrated black-water, gray-water, and bilge water treatment. The team will aim to translate lab research to field testing, so system performance can be evaluated under realistic Navy operating environments.
