This page refers exclusively to oily water separators aboard marine vessels. They are found on board ships where they are used to separate oil from oily waste water such as bilge water before the waste water is discharged into the environment. These discharges of waste water must comply with the requirements laid out in Marpol 73/78. [1]
Mercury is a highly toxic element commonly found in coal and municipal waste. Wet scrubbers are only effective for removal of soluble mercury species, such as oxidized mercury, Hg 2+ . Mercury vapor in its elemental form, Hg 0 , is insoluble in the scrubber slurry and not removed.
The current incinerator is run by a company called Covanta, which has touted its incinerators as the sustainable alternative to dumping waste in landfills, while pushing a false narrative that ...
Beginning on 11 February 1972, the new owner had the ship converted into a waste incinerator ship at the K. A. van Brink shipyard in Rotterdam. Tanks for transportation of the waste were added, plus two incinerators located aft, in which the waste would be combusted at temperatures between 1,300 and 1,400 °C (2,370 and 2,550 °F).

The company began as a foundry supplier making sand blasting equipment in 1908, before creating an airless blast cleaning machine in 1933 known as the Wheelabrator. [ 1 ]
Stepped multiple hearth incinerators with high residence time and fluidized bed incinerators are the most common systems used to combust wastewater sludge. Co-firing in municipal waste-to-energy plants is occasionally done, this option being less expensive assuming the facilities already exist for solid waste and there is no need for auxiliary ...
Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are sometimes described as "thermal treatment". Incinerators convert waste materials into heat, gas, steam, and ash. Incineration is carried out both on a small scale by individuals and on a large scale by industry. It is used to dispose of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste.
