Ballast water, bilge water, slop water, or oily water treatment system

A ship or sea-worthy vessel 1000 with a system for cleaning oily water, where the system comprises:

• a receiving station that comprises a spill containment pan, wherein the receiving station is connected via pipe or hose to a centrifugal pump so that movement of an amount of oily water is accomplished through the receiving station after the centrifugal pump has been connected to an onboard or offboard source of the oily water;
• a water meter wherein the water meter measures the amount of oily water;
• a bag filter 1100 coupled to said receiving station so that debris is filtered from said amount of oily water, wherein said large debris are selected from the group of consisting of garbage, rag, rock;
• a primary storage tank 1150 wherein said amount of oily water is either (a) settled into an oil stream and a water stream or (b) provided through an oil/water separator to create the oil stream and the water stream;
• an oil storage tank 1250 coupled to the primary storage tank 1150, wherein the oil storage tank 1250 collects and retains the oil stream after said oil stream has either been (a) removed from the primary storage tank by at least one oil skimmer/drum or (b) separated from the water stream by the oil/water separator;
• a water tank 1200 coupled to the primary storage tank 1150, wherein the water tank 1200 receives the water stream from the primary storage tank 1150 after said oil stream has either been (a) removed from the primary storage tank by at least one oil skimmer/drum or (b) separated from the water stream by the oil/water separator;
• a submersible pump that transfers a water layer from tank 1150 to at least three primary treatment tanks 1300 wherein
• (a) the water stream is received from the water tank 1150, through water tank 1200, and pumped through a FLOC blender in a first primary treatment tank 1300 where FLOC agents, coagulation agents, and metal particles are injected into the water stream,
• (b) the water stream, FLOC agents, coagulation agents, and metal particles are provided to the second primary treatment tank 1300 to settle into a water layer and a layer of agglomeration and particulate wastes, and
• (c) where the water layer from the second primary treatment tank 1300 is provided to a third primary treatment tank while agglomeration and particulate waste are provided as sludge to a filter press 1320, wherein the filter press 1320 de-waters the sludge to create pressed water and pressed sludge, wherein the pressed sludge is provided to a bin 1400 for disposal or destruction, and wherein the pressed water is provided to a flush storage tank 1350 and recirculated into the primary storage tank 1150 to become a part of the water stream disposed in the primary storage tank 1150;
• a sand filter 1450, wherein the water layer from the third primary treatment tank is passed through the sand filter 1450 to create a first and a second portion of sand filtered water, wherein the first portion of the sand filtered water is provided to a flush storage tank 1350 and recirculated into the primary storage tank 1150 to become a part of the water stream disposed in the primary storage tank 1150;
• a diatomaceous earth (DE) filter 1500, where the second portion of the sand filtered water from the sand filter 1450 is passed through the DE filter to create a first and a second portion of DE filtered water wherein the first portion of the DE filtered water is provided to a flush storage tank 1350 and recirculated into the primary storage tank 1150 to become a part of the water stream disposed in the primary storage tank 1150;
• a media tank 1550, where the media tank 1550 receives the second portion of DE filtered water wherein the DE filtered water is exposed to a polymer bond media mixture to create a treated water;
• an ultraviolet light (“UV”) treatment system 1600 wherein the treated water is provided to the UV treatment system where the treated water is exposed to UV light to create sterilized water,
• at least one storage tank 1650 for collecting the sterilized water from the UV treatment system;
• and,
• a submersible pump located in the at least one storage tank 1650 that discharges the sterilized water directly into a water body or ocean from the ship or sea-worthy vessel 1000.
