Waste treatment Uson food shredder to Vikoma’s OPRS 300 can be operated by remote control The patches are manufactured from Nitrile
rubber and rare earth particles, while some combine polyster-reinforced PVC with aramid. Miko estimates that a typical patch weighs 10kg/ m² and has a stretch strength of 9,000N per 5cm The patches can be ordered in a variety of sizes, the largest manufactured so far by the group being 30m by 15m. Diving squads can affix the patches to hulls using an HD 200 underwater stapling tool.

Oil spill response Oil recovery system offers
300m³/hr clean-up rate Environmental technology company Vikoma has officially launched a new oil pollution recovery system, dubbed the OPRS 300. Te unit is operated by handheld remote control, and comprises a floating skimmer head, equipped with Vikoma-patented tuſted disc technology, which has been designed to attract oil. Te group claims that, utilising these discs, the
unit is able to achieve oil recovery rates of 300m³/ hr, including light, medium and heavy oils ranging from 1centistoke (cSt) to 1 million cSt in viscosity. Te OPRS 300 also features an onboard recovered oil discharge pump and thrusters for manoeuvrability, and can be connected via a 60m umbilical. Late April saw Vikoma expand its global presence
with the establishment of a new enterprise in China, named Vikoma Oil Pollution and Environmental Equipment Trading, which has been headquartered in Shanghai.

A typical Miko Marine patch, used as a temporary ‘fix’ for damaged hulls, weighs 10kg/m²
The UMS shredder has an integrated macerator
fitted below the Hardox steel-fashioned shredder head, and both parts can work concurrently, as part of a two-stage process, to handle all types of food waste in varying quantities. The food shredder can also serve as the main collection for food waste, and replace up to several macera- tor stations, subsequently keeping operational time and onboard space requirements to a minimum. After passing through the shredder head, all shredded material is collected into a second hopper connected to the macerator. The ground-up waste from the macerator can then be discharged overboard or stored in a holding tank when the vessel is operating within an area where discharge is prohibited.

minimise space requirements Uson Marine has launched its new UMS food waster shredder, designed for both installation aboard newbuilds and retrofits on existing vessels that cater for more than 30 persons onboard, particularly ferries. The shredder is intended to obviate the need for additional, separate refrig- erated areas for food waste (in order to ensure onboard hygiene and remove unpleasant smells) by handling significant quantities of waste in a fast manner, as well as being designed to grind materials that older system types may be unable to handle, including objects such as discarded big bones, fish skins and hard shells.
