On ships, a large number of people come together in a limited space and complex technology with high demands on comfort, environmental friendliness and safety.
oxytec ensures hygiene here. Our solutions for keeping breathing air, exhaust air and water clean make a decisive contribution to operational safety and the avoidance of operational interruptions.
On many ships, people stay mainly in the wind-protected interior. The rooms are closed watertight and windproof. Intermediate doors make the air space small. Thus, the air supply in these rooms is elementary for health and well-being.
Germs spread on ships from person to person, and through the ventilation ducts. Air hygiene is not only immensely important for operational safety, it also increases the comfort for the guests. oxytec devices make the air germ-free and also catch spores and allergens.
The warm, humid atmosphere on ships provides ideal living conditions for germs. They accumulate especially in the air ducts, which are difficult to access, and this can be recognized by musty odors. Our UV ozone air purifiers combat the cause at the source and keep the air fresh.
Low-germ and fragrant cold storage air keeps food appetizingly fresh for longer. Fresh goods increase the satisfaction of the guests, damage caused by spoiled goods is minimized.
Our air disinfection units can also be easily integrated into existing systems.
Smoke odor disturbs. Whether fresh smoke in the air you breathe or cold air in curtains and upholstery – smoke odor even annoys smokers. oxytec air purification systems can neutralize the odor at the source. And with UV ozone you even get smokers’ rooms fresh again.
On all ships the kitchen plays an important role for the satisfaction on board. This is true on yachts as well as on cruise ships. oxytec ensures that the galley does not become a problem stove.
You like to smell the food when you have it on your plate. But not so much before or after. The best way to avoid food odor is to not let it out in the first place. Our custom fume hoods tackle the cause at the source. Depending on the technology you choose, the odor can be neutralized to the point where the exhaust air doesn’t have to be routed over the roof.
Kitchens generate large quantities of exhaust air containing grease and water vapor, which quickly contaminates the exhaust ducts. They are then very difficult to clean. Using multi-stage cleaning processes, we remove the grease from the air above the cooking zone and can thus keep the ducts free. We even have suitable solutions for air containing smoke and carbon.
There is grease and fire in kitchens. This means that hoods and ducts pose a fire hazard that must be minimized at all costs, especially on ships. By suitably dimensioning the hoods, with specially shaped separators and by removing the grease from the exhaust air, our solutions make a decisive contribution to fire protection.
To get odors on ships under control, we start where they originate:
Regular air changes are necessary in trash rooms. Ideally, the cleaning of the air already starts in the garbage room itself, because this also slows down the bacterial decomposition processes.
Liquid waste often stinks even more than solid or mixed residues. Therefore, exhaust air purification is also useful here.
Gray water can quickly smell like a cesspool and significantly affect vacation enjoyment if guests notice any of it.
Grease is an odor carrier, which is particularly noticeable in the case of grease separator tanks. Our air purification systems catch even the smallest grease particles and can thus make them odor-free.
oxytec air purification systems are effective against ammonia and thus also get toilet odor under control.
Smoke odor is annoying. Whether it’s fresh smoke in the air you breathe or cold air in curtains and upholstery – smoke odor even annoys smokers.
Clean water is just as important on ships as clean air. Water is an ideal breeding ground for dangerous germs and unwanted clouding caused by algae.
The drinking water needed on ships can be taken along or it can be produced much more easily directly on board river or sea ships, thus saving ballast. At the same time, germination is prevented in the process.
Where there are drinking water tanks and pipes, there are also dangers: Perfect water quality cannot always be ensured. UV-based water disinfection systems work residue-free and safely.
Pools on ships are usually relatively small and heavily frequented. UV disinfection systems are more effective than chlorine. The bathers do not notice anything, while the system eliminates all bacteria and viruses and even the smallest algae.
Ship sewage may only be discharged into the sea in a treated and disinfected state. It is also the responsibility of ship operators not to place additional burdens on the sensitive ecosystems of rivers and seas.
