ITI announces deal…
ITI Energy Limited announces exclusive agreement with Scanship Environmental AS for on-board gasification of waste on cruise liners.
ITI Energy is pleased to announce it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Scanship Environmental of Norway, whereby Scanship will promote, install and support ITI Marine Gasification technology. The agreement covers the full integration and use of ITI Marine Gasification in Scanship’s sustainable Clean Ship Solutions on-board cruise, passenger and naval ships and offshore platforms operating worldwide. The soon to be released gasification system is suitable for new build and retrofit markets, offshore and onshore based applications.
Scanship is a maritime industry leader in advanced technologies for processing and purifying waste water, food waste, solid waste and bio sludge, with approximately 40% of global market share. Scanship is a supplier to most cruise lines and major yards and its environmentally friendly products are increasingly being requested from the merchant fleet and offshore industry.
Henrik Badin, CEO of Scanship said “Cruise ships produce a considerable daily tonnage of waste; environmental constraints are making it increasingly difficult and costly to dispose of. ITI’s technology not only provides an ultra low emission thermal disposal treatment, but also produces a gas that can be fed into an internal combustion engine to generate a considerable amount of electricity, replacing part of the necessary diesel generation. At average conversion rates of over one megawatt of electricity from a tonne of dry waste, the operational savings for ship owners will be considerable, while also lowering their carbon footprint.”
Asgeir Wien, Scanship’s Chief Technology Officer, said “We have spent a considerable time assessing advanced thermal conversion technologies. We believe ITI’s gasification process offers superior efficiencies and robustness, which fits ideally with our integrated waste management philosophy. Initial conversations with ship owners have demonstrated great enthusiasm for this new approach to waste management.”
Miles Lewis, Deputy Chairman of ITI Energy, stated “We are delighted to have entered into this partnership with a company with the experience and expertise of Scanship. On-board waste management is necessarily more sophisticated and Scanship has provided solutions to many of the worlds most prestigious cruise vessels. Many of the integration skills readily translate to larger scale, onshore applications and we are pleased to say that Scanship is also already generating enquiries in Scandinavia for waste-to-energy projects.”
