Advanced wastewater (black and greywater) treatment for any application
Built to handle extreme environments, MarineFAST® Marine Sanitation Devices are certified Type II MSDs for the treatment of blackwater and greywater on board vessels and off shore platforms from one to 2,000+ crews. The MarineFAST units are optimized for treating black and grey wastewater flows from either conventional gravity and/or vacuum fed collection systems. FAST® is a patented, proven process, where bio-degrading microorganisms become ‘fixed’ to the media and break down incoming organics and consume lesser bacteria and viruses.
This process produces a transparent, odorless waste liquid. These systems are better able to cope with surges and provide higher removal rates for organic material. The technology maintains consistent high performance, low maintenance, as well as sludge management all in one tank. The growth on the media thickens and sloughs off from the media by the aeration process and settle to the bottom of the treatment zone for removal.
Per USCG Standards (33 CFR Part 159), type II MSD’s produce effluent having fecal coliform bacteria no greater than 200 bacteria count or Colony Forming Units (CFU) per 100 ml and TSS no greater than 150 mg/L; and comply with MARPOL Annex IV regulations for Inspected Vessels. All Marine Sanitation Devices (whether Type I, II, or III) must be US Coast Guard (USCG) certified for vessels with galley(s) and toilet facilities. These devices (MSDs) must comply with the 33 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 159 regulations to prevent discharge of untreated sewage from vessels into the waters of the United States.
Since 1969, Scienco/FAST’s MarineFAST® Type II Marine Sanitation Devices have been installed on some of the ‘greenest’ boats in the world to provide total sewage treatment, pretreatment, and (in some cases) water reuse opportunities. Since then, over 45,000 FAST® sewage treatment systems have been installed in over 60 countries both on land and marine applications, providing extensive performance and environmental benefits.
Disinfection for any application
A disinfection system is an integral part to a complete ballast water or sewage treatment system. With many options to choose from, Scienco/FAST provides standard units with tablet chlorinators to a more innovative approach with sodium hypochlorite or the use of peracetic acid (PAA). Peracetic acid (PAA) is a powerful oxidant that is receiving much interest in disinfecting water and wastewater flows for the removal of bioflim, unwanted biological growth, and with a long shelf life can, therefore, be applied in a number of applications where traditional disinfection approaches might be challenged. Effective disinfection can be achieved with Scienco/FAST from both cost and efficiency perspectives.
Replacement wastewater treatment applications
The market includes new ships but also retrofits. Scienco/FAST replaces older sewage treatment systems or failing systems with MarineFAST® units even in tight quarters. Scienco/FAST also supplies a range of MSDs specifically designed to reduce the cost of installing sewage treatment equipment into existing ships and platforms. With versatile design and flow rate, the MarineFAST® Systems are compact and modular, suitable for between deck installations where space is limited.
Scienco/FAST provides an easy solution and able to assist in offering services to specify, install and commission work with trained professionals. AdaptABLE, AffordABLE, and FAST®, these systems provide are ideal to meet new build requirements or retrofit for upgrading existing systems.
