CleanSea® System Treats All Black, Grey, Galley, And Laundry Wastewater Onboard The Largest Cruise Ship In The World

The successful management of the world’s marine environment has unique challenges when compared to land based environments. The oceans encompass a huge area to manage, their political boundaries are blurry, and conditions in one small area can have serious impacts on much larger, far removed areas.

With the acquisition of Hydroxyl Systems Inc. in 2009, Headworks BIO™ Inc. expanded its wastewater treatment portfolio to include MBBR/IFAS biological wastewater treatment systems. The CleanSea advanced shipboard wastewater treatment system, from Headworks BIO Inc., has specifically been designed for the demands at sea and is currently installed on the largest cruise ship in the world, the Oasis of the Seas.

Oasis of the Seas is an Oasis-class cruise ship in the fleet of Royal Caribbean International. The first of her class, the vessel was ordered in February 2006 and designed under the name “Project Genesis.” Her keel was laid down on November 12, 2007 at STX Europe - a subsidiary of the South Korean industrial chaebol STX Corporation - in Turku, Finland.

The ship was completed and turned over to Royal Caribbean in November 2009. Oasis set a new record for carrying over 6,000 passengers. Since then, the Oasis class has expanded to include her sister ship, the Allure of the Seas. Both vessels cruise the Caribbean from Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
