Patented Foil Basin System

Traditional ship recycling methods, such as beaching, result in the direct contamination of soil and water with hazardous materials, paint chips, and metal residues. The Foil Basin System was invented and engineered specifically to eliminate this fundamental problem. It forms the impermeable foundation of the FoilDock, ensuring 100% containment.

Technological Breakdown:

• Impermeable Membrane: The system consists of a multi-layered, highly durable, and chemically resistant foil. This membrane is laid within the dry-dock structure, creating a fully sealed basin that is impervious to oils, heavy metals, and other pollutants.
• Integrated Drainage and Filtration: The basin is designed with a sophisticated drainage system that collects all liquids, including rainwater and process water. This water is channeled into a closed-loop filtration and treatment plant, where contaminants are removed before the water is reused or safely discharged.
• Solid Residue Collection: All solid materials, from large steel plates to the smallest paint flecks and rust particles, are captured within the basin. This allows for systematic collection, sorting, and processing, preventing any contact with the underlying ground or surrounding water.
• Modular and Scalable: The Foil Basin is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It is an engineered system that can be scaled and configured to fit dry-docks of various sizes, making it adaptable for different vessel classes and port requirements.

The Patented Foil Basin System is more than just a liner; it is an active environmental protection technology. It is the key enabler that allows the FoilDock to operate with a zero-pollution guarantee, setting a new global standard for industrial responsibility in the maritime sector.
