Detegasa has a long history in the design and manufacture of equipment for the naval sector worldwide. With a team of highly qualified engineers and a focus on sustainability, Detegasa has positioned itself as a benchmark in its field, standing out since its foundation in 1965 not only for the quality of its products, but also for its technical excellence and commitment to innovation. 

Detegasa is currently focused on a project that consists of the development of advanced technology for a novel form of treatment of solid waste generated on board ships, which is based on molecular decomposition due to friction with high temperatures and at the same time dehydration of the waste itself in a process that is environmentally friendly and sustainable. It is an integrated waste management system that combines several technologies including separation, compaction and treatment to provide a complete and efficient solution.

This technical solution offered by Detegasa stands out for its ability to adapt to the specific needs of each type of vessel, from cruise ships to freighters, as the system can be customized to meet the space, capacity or waste type requirements of each vessel. This versatility makes it an attractive option for a wide range of customers in the maritime industry.

In addition to its positive environmental impact, the technology developed by Detegasa also brings significant economic and operational benefits. By reducing the need to discharge at sea, the system helps ship owners and operators to comply with the strictest international environmental regulations, avoiding possible fines and penalties. By optimizing waste management on board, operational efficiency is also improved, thereby reducing all associated costs.

The development of this innovative solution has been possible thanks to the support of the DeseñaPeme program that the Xunta makes available to Galician companies, an initiative aimed at promoting innovation and business development in the community, which involves the financing of design activities to improve the innovation and sustainability capabilities of companies in Galicia, through the promotion of strategic design management of products, services and brands and corporate identities.
