Standard of Waste Oil Incinerator for Motor Vessel

Abstract

Since 1972 when the Japanese law for the prevention of marine pollution fully came into force, most large ships with Japanese flags have been provided with a waste oil incinerator and until now many experiences and operating results have been taken.
Machinery Plant Committee Group I took up the standard on waste oil incinerators as one of its subjects in 1974, and made out this standard after consideration based on the results of inquiries to five Japanese ship-ping companies and nine Japanese shipyards.
This standard consists of“waste oil quantity”, “burning solid waste”, “the burning capacity of waste oil incinerator”, “the rough flow chart of the waste oil burning system”and“the instrumentation and controls of the waste oil burning system”.
For reference the results of the following inquiries are mentioned in addition.
The trouble with incinerators.
The waste oil treating method of ships not provided with incinerators.
The incinerators for turbine ships.
