Wave International Marine Filtration Systems
Wave International develops eco-focused marine filtration systems designed to reduce the environmental impact of water discharged from boats and vessels. In bilge water, grey water, drinking water and watermaker lines, a correctly planned filtration setup plays a critical role both for environmental responsibility and system health. As Akel Marin, we plan Wave solutions according to the vessel’s operating scenario, including project survey, correct product selection, installation layout and commissioning.
Why Choose Wave International?
On modern vessels, a “clean sea” approach is possible not only through correct operation, but also through the right equipment and a properly planned maintenance setup. Wave systems offer product families developed to reduce pollutant load from bilge water and grey water. Akel Marin’s approach is to design a serviceable installation that will work sustainably in the vessel’s real operating conditions.
An approach focused on reducing environmental impact
- System architecture that helps control oil and pollutant load in bilge water discharge.
- Installation scenarios focused on managing grease, oil and particle load in grey water lines.
- Serviceable design: cartridge / filter replacement and routine inspection planning.
Practical advantages in refit projects
- Layout suitable for existing plumbing: service access, drainage and connection points.
- Correct pre-filtration setup for pump efficiency and longer line life.
- Aims to reduce failure and clogging risks through planned maintenance.
Wave International Product Family — Sample Systems
The cards below summarize Wave’s product groups on a single page for quick understanding. Final selection should be made according to the vessel’s flow-rate requirement, usage type (leisure / commercial) and maintenance plan.
Wavestream • Bilge Water Filtration
BilgeA bilge filtration solution focused on managing oily bilge water discharge risk. In suitable scenarios, it offers a more controlled outlet target during bilge pumping operations.
Wavebrite • Grey Water Filtration
Grey WaterA filtration architecture designed to manage grease, oil and particle load in grey water lines such as galley and shower lines. With proper installation, it aims to provide advantages in pump efficiency and line cleanliness.
Flostream • Drinking Water Filtration
Drinking WaterA filtration approach for onboard drinking water lines, focused on reducing unwanted odour, taste and particle load. When using marina / dock water, correct staging is important to protect line health.
Watermaker Protection • Pre-Filtration
ProtectionIn watermaker systems, membrane and pump life is often determined by correct pre-filtration and a stable maintenance routine. With a suitable setup, the goal is to reduce clogging and efficiency loss risks.
Washdown Filtration • Deck Wash Lines
WashdownIn washdown lines, particles such as sand and sediment may cause clogging in pumps and nozzles. A proper filtration setup aims to provide more stable flow and lower service requirements.
Holding Tank Vent Filtration • Odour Management
VentOdour control in the holding tank vent line is an important part of onboard comfort. Proper vent filtration and correct installation aim to provide more stable odour management.
Wave product categories include bilge water filtration, grey water, drinking water, watermaker protection, washdown and holding tank vent filtration solutions.
Installation & Maintenance Approach by Akel Marin
Filtration systems may look like “plug-and-play” products; however, if flow rate, line diameter, drainage, service access and spare cartridge planning are not set correctly, efficiency will drop. Akel Marin’s approach is to optimize the installation according to the vessel and make the maintenance routine easier for the user.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Which system is suitable for me? Vessel type, pump flow rate and usage intensity are decisive.
- Is maintenance difficult? Periodic maintenance becomes easier when service access and cartridge planning are correctly designed.
- Is refit possible? Refit is possible on many vessels with proper layout and line revision.
Checklist for Correct Selection
- Flow rate: Pump capacity and real operating time.
- Line setup: Connection points, bypass requirement and drainage.
- Access: Hatch / space clearance for filter replacement.
- Maintenance: Cartridge / filter supply and replacement interval.
