Abstract: “A proof-of-concept study was undertaken in this study to evaluate various separation technologies for the removal of microplastic (MP) in the 200 nm to 3 mm size range from model shipboard greywater (GW), a wastewater stream that combines ship laundry water, accommodation water and galley water. This experimental study provided an in-depth understanding on whether microplastics in such a complex aqueous stream of GW can be separated efficiently with commercially available processes, with particular application to laundry effluents”
