OMNIPURE™

Offshore Marine Sanitation Devices

Rugged, Dependable and Purpose-built for the demanding Offshore Industrial Sector
Clean WATER. Clear CONSCIENCE.™
Severn Trent De Nora offers the OMNIPURE™ system, the only marine
sewage system that oxidizes sewage in an electrochemical cell as well as
generates sodium hypochlorite for the disinfection of the sewage streams.
OMNIPURE marine sewage treatment units offer effective electrolytic Typical OMNIPURE
treatment of both black and gray water through a patented
and certified process. OMNIPURE systems range in treatment
capacities from 781 to 15,842 gal/day, while utilizing small
installation floor space.

OMNIPURE units are specifically manufactured for marine and

offshore installations requiring permanent or long-term operation
for the treatment of marine sewage. The rugged design of the
OMNIPURE offshore line of units is well suited for the rigors
of industrial platform installations. Minimal maintenance, small
equipment footprint and the light weight packages, make the
OMNIPURE a long-term solution for wastewater treatment on
a variety of offshore and marine installations, including those
deeper water, weight-sensitive applications.

OMNIPURE™ Treatment Process

The processing function of every OMNIPURE unit is the same
— regardless of size. The automatic treatment process for
generating oxidant on-demand is simple and proven effective.
Operation is 24/7, with continuous collection and treatment of
the accumulated black and gray water.
• Raw sewage is collected via gravity into the system’s V-1
influent collection tank.
• The OMNIPURE unit oxidizes and disinfects raw sewage by
means of an electrochemical reaction in the unit’s bookcell.
• After the slurry of sewage and seawater has been electrolyzed
in the bookcell, the stream is routed into the OMNIPURE unit V-2
residence tank.
• The V-2 tank is sized to provide the required retention time
to assure that any remaining bacteria will be exposed to the
produced hypochlorite and killed.
• After retention in the V-2 tank, the effluent overflows from
the top of the V-2 tank to the sea, via gravity. If this
discharge point is below a vessel’s waterline, the V-2
tank discharge is routed to an on-board centrifugal
overboard discharge pump for discharge to the sea.

Automated Maintenance OMNIPURE Units
The OMNIPURE™ 12MXMP and 15MXMP units offer the same treatment capacities as the high capacity MX series
units but include enhanced automated maintenance features. The OMNIPURE 18MXMP is only offered with the
automated maintenance features, it is not available as an MX series unit.

For applications requiring larger unit sizes, operators find it beneficial to install systems requiring less frequent
manual maintenance. The MXMP models offer the benefit of longer, continuous on-line operation between required
manual maintenance duties.

Process Module OMNIPURE Units
Process modules are available in the same treatment capacities as complete OMNIPURE units to take advantage of
existing influent and effluent tanks or tanks manufactured in place as well as very tight installation locations.*

Process modules are constructed of the same high quality industry standard components as are all other OMNIPURE
systems but without tanks mounted on the equipment’s base frame.

Due to specific equipment configuration criteria, process modules are sold as made-to-order packages requiring
Severn Trent De Nora engineering and design services. Each package design takes into account the customer’s
particular installation space, prefabricated or existing tanks and any equipment interfaces.

*Process module equipment arrangements may vary based on actual installation configuration.

OMNIPURE™ 15MXPM
Available Factory STANDARD Options
OMNIPURE™ units can be supplied with a variety of standard factory-installed options. Each unit is designed to be
easily fitted with any combination of options offered.

Overboard Pump
Required when the unit’s overboard discharge point is below a vessel’s water line or additional unit discharge
pressure is desired. 316 SS centrifugal pump is supplied mounted to the unit (12MC requires off-skid mounting) and
is pre-wired into the unit’s main control panel.

Brine Add System

Required for those units operating in brackish (or fresh) waters where salinity is below 1.5 percent. This option
provides the user with an off-skid salt tank and briner prime/purge panel. This system automatically injects a
measured amount of brine solution (saltwater) into the OMNIPURE unit as required to sustain the electrolytic
process. Since seawater is required for proper operation of the OMNIPURE unit, this option is essential in
maintaining a properly functioning unit in brackish waters.

Z-Purge (Pressurization) System

A UL listed Z-Purging system can be fitted to the OMNIPURE’s main control panel when a unit is to be installed into
a Hazardous, Class 1, Groups C/D, Division 2 location. This purge option allows for safe operation of the unit in the
classified area with minor cost impact to the unit.

Dechlorination System
The dechlorination option uses a mixture of food grade sodium sulfite and seawater to effectively remove the
chlorine produced by the electrolytic process, before the effluent is discharged to sea. This option is required when
the effluent discharge cannot contain chlorine or the effluent discharge point is into sensitive waters. This option
provides the user with an off-skid mixing tank and dechlorination control panel. This system automatically injects a
measured amount of sodium sulfite into the effluent discharge line.

Blower
An electric blower may be included as a ship loose item for those applications where no compressed air is available
for the required powered V-2 vent, or when dilution of the vent gases is required. An air ejector is supplied normally
as standard equipment on all OMNIPURE units for removal of gases to a safe location. When air is not available, this
Blower is required. The associated blower circuit and motor starter are included in the unit’s main control panel.

Note:
The OMNIPURE equipment is MET NRTL Certified for use in hazardous area locations, rated Class 1, Groups C/D,
Division 2, and for meeting applicable UL and NEC electrical requirements.

warehousing facilities serving the industry needs.

Manufacturing
Our 55,000 ft2 manufacturing facility has been building standard and made-to-order OMNIPURE sewage treatment
systems for over 26 years. Our facility is composed of a stocked parts warehouse, various component and large
equipment assembly areas and a full ‘wet’ test bay for support of all the equipment manufactured. A highly trained
staff of technicians and specialists perform the various manufacturing duties to insure all products are built to
design, maintaining high quality and workmanship. All factory acceptance testing is done on the premises prior to
equipment shipment to site.
Engineering
Our fully staffed engineering department develops made-to-order OMNIPURE equipment packages to fit customer
needs and field installation requirements. The project management staff works directly with clients to effectively
implement custom projects from inception of design to completion of manufacturing and on-site commissioning
duties. Each project has an assigned project engineer who is responsible for internal project implementation and
organization and who is available directly for related project activities. Our engineers routinely work with clients to
enhance the OMNIPURE systems to include custom features such as NEMA 7 controls, hazardous area equipment,
structural steel modifications, special tank layouts and process piping configurations.

Design
Severn Trent De Nora’s design department uses the latest AutoCAD® graphical design software, coupled with 3-D
modeling capabilities, to effectively pre-plan, design and finalize all manufactured OMNIPURE equipment packages.
Our professional, motivated and highly trained team of mechanical and electrical designers provide the attention to
detail needed to efficiently produce system designs.

Made-to-Order Capabilities
Severn Trent De Nora often enhances the standard OMNIPURE product line with customer-specific modifications
where applicable. The OMNIPURE units are routinely installed in classified (hazardous) locations offshore, requiring
NEMA 7 controls and/or air purging devices (Z-Purge) for code compliance. Other system modifications include
multiple grinding streams; increased capacity holding and surge tanks; specialized structural steel design;
sectionalized skids and tanks; purpose built sewage lift stations; and integrated vacuum interface controls. Severn
Trent De Nora takes pride in the relationships formed with its customers around the world and strives to continue to
provide “purpose built” equipment and systems for the specialized offshore market.
