It is suitable for marinas, ports, dockyards, canals, rivers, on board and on land.<\/p>\n<p>Initial marketing and testing has been aimed at marinas and the leisure marine industry with plans to promote the DuoCart in ports around the world. \u201cThis product was developed as a result of demand from marina operators and dockyards who have seen and used our proven Wavestream bilge filters systems in vessels,\u201d said Paul Gullett of Wavestream.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were asked why we couldn\u2019t create a portable product to deal with accidental spills in the waterways or on land. After some development work, and trials to prove its success, we are now delighted to be launching the DuoCart internationally,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The DuoCart uses a suction lance to suck up polluted water which is then passed through the dual Wavestream filter systems, removing any pollutants including micro-plastics, returning clean water back into the waterway or drains.<\/p>\n<p>The system uses a particulate pre-filter and a high capacity Wavestream filter, which is manufactured to Lloyd\u2019s Register standards, and has a flow rate of between 20 and 50 litres per minute depending on the pump. The system is housed on a manoeuvrable cart and operates either via DC power source or by using its own integral battery power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stand-alone, portable system has been developed to deal with accidental fuel and oil spills quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2919,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-2918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects-initiatives-greenport"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2918"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2920,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2918\/revisions\/2920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2918"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=2918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
