Our patented Schomberg Vacu-Cart and Reclamation Filtration System is built on a Siemens platform and enables a high degree of customization, while our real-time monitoring system allows us to continuously improve operational efficiency – a benefit we share with our clients.

The primary tool for the removal and capture of marine growth from the flat or curved underwater surfaces is the Vacu-Cart. For less regular surfaces, shrouded hand tools have been designed. Each cleaning tool has a vacuum shroud that connects separately to the central, fully enclosed vacuum system through which the bio-fouling debris is vacuumed onto the support vessel or quay side filtration system for treatment.

The captured and extracted water and bio-fouling debris is then passed through a multistage, modular filtration and treatment system where the bio-fouling debris and particles are separated from the water. The separated biofouling debris is bagged and disposed of at a registered land fill site. The water is then filtered through a 3-way filtration system and disinfected by a UV Reactor. The UV Reactor effectively disinfects organisms such as bacteria and phytoplankton. The neutralised water is discharged back to the original water source.
