Halyard keeps it clean at Seawork

The Wavebrite SMART removes all contaminants from onboard grey water, including toxins, phosphates, oils and microplastics. It then discharges clean water which meets the EU Waste Water Standard.

“Dealing with grey water is a major issue. The development of the Wavebrite SMART is in response to an increasing number of boat builders and users wanting a more integrated system,” said Paul Gullett, MD of Wave International.

”It removes the need to have a separate grey water holding tank and enables boaters to be confident of maintaining the highest environmental standards wherever they are in the world. Having vessels fitted with grey water filters also benefits many marinas, which usually have to pay to get grey water recycled.”

Smart system

The Wavebrite SMART system is suitable for a wide range of craft from day boats to cruising sailing yachts, right up to superyachts and commercial vessels.

Because it’s compact and lightweight, it’s asy to install in newbuilds or as a retrofit.

The system is equipped with a multifunction display screen which shows the flow rate, daily and total volumes of filtered grey water and the condition and status of the filters.

This is particularly important when vessels are in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), or in marinas or close to shore where emitting polluted water could result in fines.

The input of grey water is controlled by a level switch located in the wastewater sump, which comes supplied with the unit. Up to 20,000 litres of grey water can be processed before the main filter needs to be changed, which is indicated by a clear warning signal on the display panel.

A QR code enables users to easily access all the unit and filter replacement information. Data available also shows the flow rate and accumulative volume of grey water filtered over the lifetime of the Wavebrite SMART main module, with indicators on the display screen showing if any maintenance is required. 

All Wave International products are available in the UK through Halyard, which also provides technical support and advice.
