Oil Spill Cleansing System
Tested and proven for close to two years throughout the major ports of France.
An hydrocarbon-screamer with an oil-seperator disk wich can recover 90% of oil and hydrocarbon and only 10% water:
Up to 9,000 liter capacity/intervention with existing boats at 3,000 liter capacity
300 liters per minute
Extremely mobile boats with the lowest emission possible (solar powered designed boats are possible)
Boats designed for very shallow waters (enabling them to clean very close to reefs, beaches and other otherwise non reachable areas)
A fire hose sufficient to fight against dock and sea blazes
Our systems have been tested and approved for a year and a half on French Riviera harbours (Monaco, Golf-juan, Cannes , Fréjus, Saint-Tropez):

Avoiding Pollutants to Reach Specific Areas or Delicate Installations
ECOTANK is a non-polluting and silent barge, specially designed to resolve pollution-related problems on and around boats as well as in designated areas such as ports, moorings and beaches. The barges specialize in : 1. Elliminating pollution from harbour areas, beaches, reefs and moorings 2. Reprocessing polluted waters 3. Additionals options
1. THE ECOTANK SOLUTION
Ecotank’s staff specializes in environmental protection and awareness in regards to numerous nautical ecological issues
Ecotank developped environmental procedures and trains environmental teams to further protect the coastal regions
Ecotank is accredited by top environmental nautical protection entities (e.g. CEDRE)
Ecotank consults on complete logistics needs for oil-spillage, black-waters, grey waters and holds alongside piers on dry docks, moorings, beaches and reefs
Ecotank barges were designed to avoid creating pollution themselves (low emissions for standard design but solar powered barges also available)
Ecotank designs are extremely versatile to fit the needs of the project and/or area at hand
Ecotank estimates 4 to 6 weeks to build a barge
2. CLEANING UP CONTAINED POLLUTED WATERS
Contaminated seas, lakes, ponds and rivers (contained areas) Moorings, shipyards Beaches and delicate natural areas (e.g. coral reefs) Harbour cleaning stations Refurbished boats, boats in distress or boats that ran the ground Equipments used : ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦
Peristaltic pumping device Oil separators Floating weirs Absorbing barriers
3. REPROCESSING POLLUTED WATERS IN PORTS AND MOORINGS FOR APPLICATIONS OTHER THAN OIL SPILLS
Grey waters, black waters and hold-waters are pumped into Ecotank Treat polluted water on the boat with Ecotank system (approved by environmental and governmental entities) Purified water can be disposed back into the open water Equipment used :
On-board treatment stations Peristaltic pumping devices Pipes and pistols
4. ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
Nets for scraps and macrowastes (motorized) Fire engines Fuel treatment stations Watermakers for supplying salt free water to moorings
* Evolution possibilities for ECOTANK barges : Solar pannels Electric motorization Increased capacities Adaptability
