Intelligent and compliant hood washing system management

Ship galley exhaust hood accumulates grease, food sediment and oil mist during vessel navigation, bringing major galley fire risks and ventilation efficiency loss. Due to mandatory maritime fire prevention and onboard hygiene requirements, Valmet’s Hood Washing System Concept delivers unified process control for galley hood cleaning units. Custom integration with onboard detergent dosing units and fire safety interlock systems is available according to third-party equipment vendor specifications. 

Hood washing wastewater contains grease, food residue and cleaning chemicals, classified as oily galley wastewater restricted by MARPOL regulations. Therefore, linked collection, classified transfer and standardized discharge of hood washing water is critical to meet global marine emission standards.
