Make Fish Food Out of Dirty Bilge Water.
Waterfront: Tidy Bilge

Clean Water Solutions
Imagine having bilge water so clean it doesn’t violate any EPA standards. Put Clean Water Solutions’ oil eradicator in the bilge, and it cleans the water by literally digesting hydrocarbons—a process that is known as bioremediation. The product was awarded the NMMA, BWI Innovation Award in the Boat Care and Coating category and was also honored with the group’s first-ever Environmental Innovation Award.

The oil eradicator utilizes archaea microbes in tablet form that are placed in the bilge, or any space where there is oil. The microbes—absorbing 32 times their weight in oil—digest hydrocarbons such as oil, gasoline, diesel, nitrates and kerosene and convert them into beneficial fatty acids, which are food for fish and aquatic vegetation. Once activated, the microbes multiply, doubling in 20 minutes, and remain active for up to 90 days.
