A New Method to Treat Oily Water Using Rice Husk Ash Onboard Vessel

All vessels must have bilge water. The bilge is referred as water come from rough seas, rain, leaks in the hull or other interior spillage. The water that collects in the bilge must be pumped out to prevent the bilge from becoming too full and threatening to sink the ship. Depending on the design of...
