BilgeVAP Marine Bilge Water Evaporator
Skimoil’s BilgeVAP is a partial answer to the marine waste water management requirements presented by the new EPA enforcement of the Clean Water Act. The BilgeVAP by Skimoil evaporates away the water portion of oily bilge water, gray water and even treated black water coming off of Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) allowing workboats, barges and even shore facilities to become no discharge zones.
With this simple, rugged device, all the water or slops are automatically heated to boiling and turned into vapor that is then vented to atmosphere through a blower-assisted stack. Venting is easy. Water vapor is not considered a pollutant. Electric heating gives you no emissions!
BilgeVAP evaporates your wastewater disposal problems!

Seemingly a lot of boat operators being impacted heavily by the new EPA enforcement of the Clean Water Act, thought that simply running gray water out thru their MSD chlorination chamber was going to be enough treatment, when in fact they are going to have to actively manage this gray water—not just disinfect it by simply chlorinating it.
The BilgeVAP eliminates this gray water—as well as all the treated black water coming off of the MSD. If you have no water—you have nothing to manage.
The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP is engineered to quickly, automatically and safely evaporate the water away! GONE! - no more water!
The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP marine onboard electric evaporator runs off your generators and evaporates 4-14 gallons per hour with no moving parts (except the exhaust fan)! This simple system runs unattended for up to 20 hours and shuts down by itself. It has both low water and high temperature automatic safety shutoff controls.
With under floor or immersed heating, the "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP allows a 98-99% reduction of your bilge water. When the water portion has been evaporated, just the oil portion and solids remain—which can be easily drained off through the 2" drain port. The flat or funneled floor is sloped to the drain and the removeable lid makes access easy. If you watch what you feed it (oily or dirty water), you can run several batches (lots) before you need bother to clean out the oil.
- Bubba proof operation
- ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE
- No moving parts --- duh!
- Simple operation — on/off controls
- Automatic shutoff --- runs unattended
- Autofill as an option -- hands off
No comparison—and here’s WHY NOT:
Marine oil/water separators are flow thru systems capable of removing free unemulsified oils from water. Our BRUTE marine oil water separators are usually used for dealing with larger amounts of bilge water—BUT cannot do anything for or to gray water or treated black water.
Some vessels are mandated to have USCG/ABS/BV certified marine oil water separators such as our BRUTE systems which are certified to meet IMO/MEPC 107(49) requirements. While these vessels are required to have these certified marine oil water separators—if they have no oily water to process (think BilgeVAP) they do not have to use the separators, they must merely have the operable separators in place and ready to use.
BilgeVAP eliminates/evaporates oily bilge water—as well as gray water and treated black water.
Our BRUTE/Boss marine separators are rugged simple systems built with high quality components—quality made in the USA. We like simple devices and we love your oil and dirt.
The "No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP is the alternative! It EATSwater!
"No Discharge Zone" BilgeVAP replaces funky oil water separators!
