Confronting a Global Maritime Challenge

Marine sewage waste management represents an urgent environmental concern that threatens ocean ecosystems worldwide. The discharge of improperly treated sewage not only damages fragile marine habitats but also poses significant health risks and regulatory challenges for vessel operators.

“The marine industry needs reliable, effective solutions that deliver performance while protecting our oceans,” said the Chief Executive Officer at GNC Marine. “Our STP Solupak technology represents a culmination of extensive research and development aimed at creating a truly revolutionary approach to marine waste management.”

Breakthrough Biological Technology

STP Solupak stands apart in the market as a highly concentrated bioactive powder formulation specifically engineered for optimal performance in marine sewage treatment systems. Developed at GNC Marine’s UK facilities and supported by the company’s global operations hub in Denmark, the product demonstrates the company’s commitment to “Performance Through Innovation.”

The proprietary formula features a unique consortium of specialized bacterial strains produced in a GMP-compliant fermentation facility. These specialized microorganisms effectively target and rapidly biodegrade a comprehensive range of sewage waste materials, including feces, paper, detergents, fats, oils, and grease.

Superior Performance Metrics

Independent testing confirms that STP Solupak delivers exceptional results across key wastewater treatment parameters:

  • Dramatic BOD Reduction: STP Solupak drastically lowers Biochemical Oxygen Demand, allowing for shorter retention times and significantly less sludge accumulation
  • Enhanced System Efficiency: The formulation enables faster processing of waste materials while maintaining compliance with stringent environmental regulations
  • Remarkable Solubility: With an industry-leading 96% solubility rate, STP Solupak ensures optimal distribution of active ingredients throughout treatment systems
  • Resilient Performance: Specialized bacterial strains resistant to chlorine concentrations up to 20ppm, with added protection against accidental chlorine release up to 100ppm

Comprehensive Solution for Complex Challenges

“What truly distinguishes STP Solupak is its comprehensive approach to sewage treatment,” commented the Technical Director at GNC Marine. “We’ve engineered a solution that not only addresses immediate treatment needs but also helps restore and revitalize systems suffering from issues like high organic loading or bacterial population loss due to washout or toxic shock.”

The formulation includes a balanced macronutrient package with an optimal C ratio of 20:1, ensuring rapid bacterial growth and sustained activity even during startup or low flow periods. Additionally, micronutrients including trace metals are supplied through an innovative slow-release seaweed extract.

Endorsed by Industry Leaders

STP Solupak has rapidly gained recognition within the marine industry, becoming the preferred choice for wastewater treatment by leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including G&O globally. This endorsement highlights the product’s effectiveness and reliability in breaking down sewage waste using natural bacterial processes.

“The marine sector demands solutions that combine performance with practicality,” said the Global Operations Director at GNC Marine Denmark. “STP Solupak delivers on both fronts with its convenient, ready-to-measure 100g cold water-soluble PVA sachets and compatibility with all Type II and Type III Marine Sanitation Devices requiring biological sewage treatment.”

Environmental Stewardship in Action

GNC Marine’s development of STP Solupak aligns with the company’s broader mission of providing sustainable solutions for the maritime industry. By enabling more efficient treatment of waste, the technology helps reduce the environmental footprint of vessels while ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent international regulations, including MARPOL ANNEX IV.

“Modern marine operations require solutions that address both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility,” noted the Sustainability Director at GNC Marine. “STP Solupak represents our commitment to developing products that help our customers meet these dual objectives without compromise.”

Enhanced User Experience

Beyond its environmental and performance benefits, STP Solupak delivers significant improvements to onboard quality of life. By facilitating more complete waste breakdown, the product dramatically reduces unpleasant odors typically associated with marine sewage systems.

The formulation’s specialized organic ingredients also provide protection against toxic light metals, preventing interference with the biomass’s respiratory activity and ensuring consistent treatment performance even under challenging conditions.
