Circle 59 on Reader Service Card Rochem Snags $2 Million Celebrity Order As the cruise market comes under con- tinued scrutiny for its environmental practices, companies — such as Rochem Environmental, Inc. — that manufacture advanced environmental solutions should flourish. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.-owned Celebrity Cruises recently awarded Rochem Environmental a $2 million contract to install a Rochem FM-Mod- ule gray water membrane system on two of its ships, Galaxy and Mercury. The contract has an option for three addi- tional units. Gray water, almost 90 percent of which is coming from a cruise ship's sinks and staterooms, can be legally dis- charged in most places. By using the Rochem system, Celebrity expects to significantly purify gray water that is released. The membrane system rejects bacte- ria, suspended solids and organic matter, making the equipment suited for gray water treatment. "We believe this is another important step forward in our Above and Beyond Compliance (ABC) environmental management system," said Nancy Wheatley, vice president of Safety and Environment for Royal Caribbean Cruises.
