Standard Guide for Selection of Shipboard Incinerators
ABSTRACT
This guide covers selection criteria to assist procurers in selecting the appropriate incinerator for their needs. A number of factors will govern the selection of the size and type of shipboard incinerator and full consideration must be given to each. The installed operating location of the unit is of equal importance to ensure low-cost operating, ease of charging, ease of cleaning, and so forth. The basis for satisfactory incinerator operation is the proper analysis of the waste to be destroyed and the selection of proper equipment to best destroy that particular waste. Shipboard wastes are classified according to types: Type 0; Type 1; Type 2; Type 3; Type 4; Type 5; and Type 6.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers selection criteria to assist procurers in selecting the appropriate incinerator for their needs.
1.2 This guide is a companion document to Specification F1323.
1.3 This guide does not apply to incinerator systems on special incinerator ships, for example, for burning industrial wastes such as chemicals, manufacturing residues, and so forth.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to inch-pound units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
