Revolutionary Sludge Remediation for the Maritime Industry
A Cost-Effective, Sustainable Solution for Fuel Sludge Waste
Every year, the maritime industry generates colossal amounts of fuel sludge waste. With over 55,000 ships consuming 437 million tonnes of heavy fuel oil annually, the industry faces a major challenge: what to do with the leftover sludge.
Current disposal methods are costly, inefficient, and environmentally harmful:
Incineration onboard – Rarely used but simply burns the valuable oil increasing emissions.
Illegal discharge at sea – Responsible for 80% of ocean oil pollution from ships.
Port disposal – Typically incinerated, high cost and more emissions.
Envorem provides a breakthrough solution that transforms waste fuel sludge into a valuable resource, converting 90% of sludge back into usable fuel while minimizing waste
Maritime Progress:
Transforming Waste into Profit
Very small footprint required
Envorem’s innovative sludge remediation technology has been awarded a £500K UK Government grant to validate its feasibility. The study, completed in February 2023, confirmed that:
90% of sludge is recoverable as fuel
Technology is suitable for miniaturization and permanent installation on large vessels
Scalable solutions exist for both on-ship and portside processing
With £1.0M in funding required to build a TRL 6/7 prototype, Envorem is poised to deliver a live trial system that will redefine fuel sludge management in the maritime sector.
The Envorem Advantage:
Efficiency, Compliance, and Cost Reduction
Maximise Fuel Efficiency – Recover up to 90% of wasted sludge, reducing fuel costs.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance – Avoid hefty fines associated with illegal discharge.
Eliminate Onboard Incineration – Free up resources while lowering operational expenses.
Reduce Portside Disposal Costs – Minimised waste means fewer fees and environmental liabilities.
