How SludgeHammer® Can Help in Marine

Our systems are designed to keep things simple, easy to install and requiring basic maintenance, making them perfect for remote marine locations where technical support might not always be available. Energy-efficient solutions help cut down on fuel costs and carbon emissions – all significant factors in marine operations.

Our systems have proven invaluable in diverse applications, from floating hotels housing hundreds of workers to supporting rebuilding efforts in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina.

Bibby Progress Floating Hotel

Commercial Case Study

When Chevron needed housing for 750 workers at a remote gas plant in Nigeria, wastewater management posed a major challenge. With no local sewer access and pump-and-haul costs too high, Bibby Maritime’s floating hotel required a self-contained system. SludgeHammer® stepped in to deliver.

Using its Aerobic Bacterial Generator (ABG) technology, SludgeHammer® built an onboard wastewater treatment system for the barge, processing over 50,000 gallons daily and meeting strict environmental standards. In just a month, the retrofit was completed, ensuring reliable sanitation for years to come.
