A 4,000 MT parcel of ortho-xylene showed particulate contamination before discharge at its destination in India.
Client: BASF
Duration: 72 hours
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Results: Zero environmental emissions
A 4,000 MT parcel of ortho-xylene showed particulate contamination before discharge at its destination in India. The contamination risked demurrage charges and disrupted the client’s supply chain.
Filtration equipment was loaded on board in Rotterdam before the vessel’s departure. AQ MarTest’s mobile filtration systems operated safely during transit, allowing continuous purification of the product while at sea.
The in-transit filtration eliminated particulate contamination and ensured smooth discharge in India, with zero demurrage and significant time savings.
All stakeholders — including the cargo owner, receiver, and vessel operator — confirmed full satisfaction with the solution and its efficiency.
