The 5 ppm Standard: How Digital Yacht Solved Microplastic Pollution at the Pump

Leave a Comment / Technology and Innovation /

Digital Yacht’s MD, Nick Heyes, created the Bilge iQ system after his own boat nearly sank due to bilge pump failure—a failure that also caused polluted discharge. The intelligent monitoring system connects any pump via NMEA 2000 and Wi-Fi, allowing real-time remote monitoring via Victron’s VRM cloud platform. Partnered with Wave International’s Wavestream filters, Bilge iQ ensures only clean water (to 5 ppm) is discharged. The device earned the DAME Design Award for Environmental Design.
