Sewage Transfer Pumps

Reliable and Compliant Wastewater Handling at Sea

Efficient and sanitary waste management is a critical component of any marine vessel’s onboard systems. Whether for recreational boats, commercial ships, or government vessels, sewage transfer systems must be reliable, corrosion-resistant, and compliant with maritime regulations. Oberdorfer Sewage Transfer Pumps are trusted by boat builders and marine engineers for their durability, performance, and regulatory compliance.

Key Features of Oberdorfer Sewage Transfer Pumps

Direct Seawater Flushing Capability

  • Pumps seawater directly from the seacock to flush marine toilets (heads).
  • Eliminates the need for freshwater flushing, conserving potable water onboard.

Efficient Waste Transfer to Treatment Systems

  • Effluent is pumped directly into a chemical treatment tank.
  • Treated waste is then discharged via gravity flow, simplifying the system and reducing mechanical complexity.

Marine-Grade Construction

  • Built with corrosion-resistant materials suitable for continuous exposure to seawater and waste fluids.
  • Designed for long-term use in harsh marine environments.

Low Maintenance, High Reliability

  • Fewer moving parts reduce wear and service intervals.
  • Engineered for continuous-duty operation with minimal oversight.

Regulatory Compliance

  • System design and application meet or exceed all U.S. Coast Guard requirements for marine sanitation devices (MSDs).
  • Supports environmentally responsible waste handling practices.

Typical Use Cases in Marine Applications

  • Recreational Boats and Yachts – Compact and efficient waste transfer for onboard heads.
  • Commercial Fishing Vessels – Durable systems for high-use environments.
  • Passenger Ferries and Tour Boats – Reliable sanitation for high-traffic operations.
  • Government and Patrol Vessels – Compliant waste handling for regulated waters.
  • Offshore Platforms – Waste transfer systems for remote, self-contained operations.
