SMM Tech-Hub WOMA Robot

SMM Tech-Hub WOMA Robot for cleaning operations with Ultra-High-Pressure water Cleaning, surface preparation and paint stripping of large areas, such as ship walls or large storage tanks in industry, still prove to be a challenge. In manual Ultra-High-Pressure (UHP) projects, large scaffoldings and a high number of personnel are essential. The Woma Magnet Lizard is a safe, efficient and time-saving alternative in the cleaning and preparation of metallic surfaces with UHP water, the company stated. The self-propelled, automated cleaning robot is purely pneumatically driven and remote-controlled. It achieves maximum cleaning and paint removal results using a specifically engineered rotating water tool. While the Magnet Lizard ensures the highest level of safety for the user at all times, the self-propelled water tool is also resistant to uneven surfaces and obstacles by regulating the contact pressure on the cleaning pot itself, Woma says. Welds or portholes are no problem thanks to the optimized arrangement of holding magnets and control chains and can be easily mastered or bypassed thanks to the intuitive operation. According to the company, the Magnet Lizard achieves the best performance in a system solution with the mobile UHP-unit Woma EcoMaster MK3. Up to four manual spray devices can be replaced with this solution. Equipped with an energy-efficient motor based on the latest emissions regulations, the integrated Woma high-pressure pump 250M delivers 25 liters per minute at a pressure of 2,800 bar, thus enabling residue-free cleaning and effective removal of paints and coatings with an effective working width of up to 370 mm.

SMM Tech-Hub WÄRTSILÄ Waste water systems for Carnival cruisers The technology group Wärtsilä has signed a framework agreement with the global cruise ship operator Carnival Corporation covering the supply and installation of waste water and dry waste treatment systems for up to 32 vessels across many of its operating brands. The framework is consistent with Carnival’s policies for compliance with the latest and most stringent environmental legislation. Wärtsilä’s Membrane Bioreactor waste water treatment plants are used for the handling of black and grey waste water. According to the company, the system surpasses the most demanding standards currently set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) for sewage discharge, including paragraph 4.2 of MEPC 227 (64), which applies to special areas. Similarly, Wärtsilä’s dry waste handling systems comply with the most stringent IMO Marpol requirements, and are designed to minimise greenhouse gas emissions. The Wärtsilä equipment will be delivered and installed onboard different ships across many of the operating brands between 2020 and 2025. The portfolio of global cruise line brands of Carnival Corporation includes Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, Aida Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard.
