Desalination/Filtration Water Treatment
Cruise ships which supply water to thousands of guests onboard need to take this water directly from the Sea, River or Fjord they are sailing through and since this water is not readily drinkable, suitable for bathing or washing it must be treated first by a mixture of desalination, filtration and base exchange softening to supply a wholesome supply of water to guests. Even much smaller Luxury Yachts and Boats will make use of these systems to filter water from the sea although on a much smaller scale.
Base Exchange Water Softeners
Accepta can supply and commission water softeners to ships moored at ports in the UK as part of a wider treatment plant for supplying water suitable for drinking, bathing and washing. Our range covers the smaller localised softener ideal for kitchens including for protection of dishwashers to the largest industrial applications which can treat up to 50,000l an hour.

Marine Reverse Osmosis Chemicals
RO chemicals are based on advanced formulations and include RO membrane cleaners and detergents, scale inhibitors and antiscalants, corrosion inhibitors, biocides, antifoulants, de-chlorinators, and flocculants.

Marine Drinking Water Treatment – Chlorine Dioxide
With many miles of potable water pipework in the average cruise ship and cargo vessel, the need to keep that water free of nasty bacteria which can grow in slow moving/ little-used areas or where ambient heat is transferred to the pipes is high. Bacteria such as Legionella is ever present in water and is often controlled on land by drinking water safe chemicals; most frequently Chlorine Dioxide. Activ-Ox is Accepta’s patented dosing system and is installed in 100s of locations across the UK and around the world, installation in a marine environment can be arranged in advance during stops off at UK ports.
The Safest, Most Controllable way of Producing Chlorine Dioxide
The chlorine dioxide generating system has a number of unique design features which make it the safest, most controllable way of producing the chemical:
- Instantaneous activation – Activ-Ox activates instantaneously, there is no need for mixing and dilution tanks, or reaction vessels containing large volumes of strong chlorine dioxide solutions.
- Robust system – Activation takes place in a reaction manifold which is integral to the system pipework, so there are no fragile injection tubes containing concentrated chlorine dioxide.
- Reduced hazard – No chlorine dioxide gas is produced, chlorine dioxide is only ever produced in solution, and only a few millilitres of concentrated solution are held within the manifold, so there is no hazard.
- Eliminate under or overdosing – The dosing pumps are controlled automatically and are initiated by an impulsing water meter to prevent under or overdosing. The system will fail-safe – there is no possibility of a run-away dosage.
- Integral alarms – The system incorporates alarms to indicate if a pump is not pumping and if a chemical drum is empty.
- As a further precaution against the inadvertent mixing of the chemicals, the injection tubing is double-walled and the chemical drums are placed inside individual bunds with lids.
- In the event of a chemical low level float switches in the chemical supply, containers will stop the dosage and initiate an alarm condition.
- Numerous safety features – double walled dosing tubes, auto lockout pumps, low volume mixing chamber
- Extremely effective against biofilms and amoebae which are major risk factors in outbreaks of Legionnaires’ disease.
