A reactor configured to clean ballast water on ships includes a reactor housing having an inlet and an outlet and a reactor tube in the reactor housing providing a fluid connection between the inlet and the outlet. The reactor tube includes an inner wall having a plurality of rounded recesses extending longitudinally from a first end of the reactor tube to a second end of the reactor tube, and the rounded recesses each have a substantially constant cross section from the first end of the reactor tube to the second end of the reactor tube. A radially inwardly projecting ridge extends between each circumferentially adjacent pair of the rounded recesses.

Disclosed are remote oily water treatment systems, including systems and related methods of remote oily water treatment with point-of-treatment discharge of treated water. In a preferred embodiment, (a) oily water is treated at a location proximate to where the oily water by passing the oily water through a tank containing a medium defined by at least one polymer mixed with activated carbon and (b) treated water is discharged at the point-of-treatment of the oily water.

A system and method for reduction of Nitrogen Oxide emissions from marine engines by converting Nitrogen Oxide into Nitrogen is disclosed. The modular reactive cyclic induction apparatus connects to the exhaust of a conventional diesel marine engine and uses air pressure and the sodium chloride in seawater to create a molecular reaction to break down Nitrogen Oxide into Nitrogen by use of an induction apparatus. The system can also include a loop for removing Carbon Dioxide through electrolysis, and removes other environmental pollutants as well, including for example Sulphur oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter during the process.
