- Babcock are experts in the design and supply of Integrated
Waste Management Systems for Naval Platforms.
- Babcock has developed an Integrated Waste Management System
(IWMS) for the UK Royal Navy's Queen Elizabeth Class Carrier
Programme.
- The IWMS collects, transfers and treats fluid and solid waste
streams to optimise equipment usage and comply with the latest
legislative requirements, whilst significantly reducing crew
drudgery and lowering harbour processing costs.
Background
The system was developed to achieve the following:-
Be compliant with current legislation (MARPOL 73/78)- Improve health & safety
- Reduce the cost of off-loading waste in ports
- Ensure on-board stowage is minimised
Brief Description
- The IWMS reduces solid and liquid waste streams down to three
system outputs after final processing via pyrolysis or
incineration; gas, ash and permeate
- The IWMS is compliant with NATO projected discharge and
emissions standards for 2015
The IWMS is designed to treat the ship's waste streams generated
onboard:
- Black water
- Grey water
- Oily bilge
- Waste oil
- Aircraft washdown
- NBC aircraft washdown
- Mixed waste:
◦ Paper
◦ Plastic
◦ Glass
◦ Metal
- Galley/ food waste
- Clinical waste
- Sanitary waste
