Enabling the Zero-Discharge Vessel and Offshore Sea Platform. The commercial marine and offshore industry is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), specifically under the annexes of MARPOL for the prevention of pollution by their ships and rigs. All vessels generate waste from crew living and vessel operations.  The origin of the waste generation determines which Annex of MARPOL applies.

Large and Diverse Market with many Needs. The Military and Security market lives mostly off-grid. The methods that most people have established for maintaining their habitats clean and healthy, namely the transfer of the waste to central processing facilities, is not available. Compact, transportable technologies, such as MAGS and WETT, which enable a clean and healthy living environment, are of great relevance in this market sector. The Military and Security market sector can be divided into three sub-sectors, as follows:

Challenging applications with potentially large returns. The isolated communities and habitats market is challenging due to its remoteness and other factors, but this sector presents many opportunities for Terragon’s approaches.

Rapid return on investment: The nature of industrial waste is highly diverse, but is often associated with extremely high costs for disposal. In many cases onsite treatment with MAGSTM or WETTTM results in a rapid return on investment (ROI). The economic benefits differ from one application to another based on location, the type and quantity of waste and local economic arrangements.

Enabling Self-sufficiency, Cost Savings and a Greener Hospital Footprint. Hospitals and clinics are essential to the maintenance of our health, but the biomedical and other dangerous wastes and the discharged water at these facilities poses an environmental threat, health hazard, and financial burden. Laboratories, nursing homes, funeral homes, dental offices and veterinary clinics are some additional examples of establishments burdened with difficult and expensive waste streams.

Improving self-sustainment at work camps: Work camps such as those found in resource exploration sites or remote construction projects often rely on imported diesel and water. Terragon’s approaches are ideally suited for these applications, since they reduce the high cost of maintaining these camps and allow for sustainable management of various waste streams.
