The cruise liner »Seven Seas Voyager« has been retrofitted with wastewater treatment systems from Evac while dry-docking in Marseille.
According to Evac its MBR (membrane bioreactor) is a wastewater treatment process that treats all wastewater streams to the same standards of lan[ds_preview]d-based municipal plants. It allows vessels like »Seven Seas Voyager« to operate in environmentally sensitive areas such as Alaska and the Baltic Sea. All wastewater generated by passengers and crew is treated and discharged without threat to health or the environment.
While the cruise liner was in drydock, two openings were cut in the hull, one starboard and one port. This enabled the MBR units to be brought as ready-assembled and tested units.
According to the manufacturer, Carlo Paiella, Regent Sevens Seas Vice President, made his choice based on a variety of factors.
Primarily, because Evac systems were installed on board another Regent ship, »Seven Seas Explorer«, branded as the most luxurious vessel ever built. »Seven Seas Voyager«, however, was the first retrofit that Regent had done with Evac, though they had worked before with other suppliers Evac stated.
