About this product

How it works

Bilge water is pumped through the filter stage, where the Wavestream cartridges capture oil and other pollutants. An IMO-certified oil content monitor then samples the filtered water continuously. If it meets the limit, the discharge valve opens and clean water goes overboard. If it does not, the alarm sounds and the recycle valve returns the water to the bilge. The control panel shows pump status, discharge valve, recycle valve and PPM alarm at a glance. MiniBOSS has a flow rate of up to 0.45 m³ per hour.

What it removes

  • Oil and fuel
  • Microplastics
  • Fibres
  • Paint flakes

Where to install it

MiniBOSS is an integrated, modular unit that mounts on a bulkhead, typically in the engine room. Its small footprint saves valuable space and weight compared with conventional systems.

Suitable vessels

Commercial vessels, CTVs, ferries, patrol boats and superyachts. MEPC.107(49) certification is required for all vessels over 400GT.

Installation

The unit is supplied as one piece pre-assembled panel. Fix it to the bulkhead using the mounting holes, connect the bilge inlet, overboard discharge and bilge return, then connect power. Available in 24V DC or 110V to 240V single phase AC or 380 to 480 3-phase AC versions. Wave International or your local distributor can support installation and commissioning.

Replacement filters

Filters are easy to replace, which keeps the cost of ownership low. Order Wavestream System 3 cartridges (WS-C3) for the oil and water stage and the sediment cartridge (WSWP5P20BB) as the pre-filter.
