Evac Group: Dehydro Meets Waste Management Needs of Smaller Vessels

Evac Group, a leader in sustainability technologies and solutions, has launched Dehydro, an onboard waste management system designed to meet the specific needs of smaller vessels.

Traditional onboard waste systems typically require high volumes of wet waste to be cost-effective, which makes them impractical for smaller vessels. The Dehydro system, using dehydration technology, makes onboard waste treatment viable for smaller ships, reducing the need for overboard discharge or costly offloading to land-based facilities. This significantly reduces waste volume, helping vessels meet increasingly stringent environmental standards and delivering a cost-effective solution.

Evac’s Dehydro system reduces wet waste volume by approximately 80% through its dehydration process, transforming wet waste into a sterile, dry powder. This eliminates the need for additional treatment and simplifies offloading, making waste management easier and more cost-effective through its compact design, which is suited to vessels producing between 50 and 1,000 kg of wet waste per day. This includes small merchant vessels, OSVs, ferries and passenger vessels, and large yachts.

Many smaller vessels rely on outdated, unsustainable waste disposal options, requiring them to either discharge waste into the sea where permitted or transport it to land-based facilities, both of which have significant environmental and financial
