France-based Orelis, a Rhodia subsidiary and specialist in membrane filtration technologies, installed a very compact treatment plant onboard the Queen Mary 2, the world’s largest cruise ship that set sail on its maiden voyage on Jan. 12. This plant will treat 39,000 ft3/day of wastewater and discharge clean water back into the sea thanks to the company’s PLEIADE® external loop membrane bioreactor technology. The system can be compared in size to the wastewater treatment plant for a town of 8,000 inhabitants.
