Permitted Waste Load, Solid & Sludge Throughput, Thermal Capacity, Support Fuel, Ash, Storage & Recovered Heat

Shipboard Incinerator Capacity, Waste Load, Fuel Consumption & Heat-Recovery Tool

Turn daily permitted ship-generated waste into an incinerator operating plan. Check solid and sludge feed rates, available burn-window capacity, thermal loading, support-fuel demand for a low-LHV feed mix and useful heat-recovery potential. Advanced mode adds a regulatory waste register, PVC/type-approval logic, prohibited streams, combustion-performance limits, ash and waste storage, annual disposal economics and heat-recovery ROI.

Waste Stream Register

Category determines the regulatory route. LHV is as-fired. Moisture is retained as a quality indicator and is not subtracted a second time from an as-fired LHV.

Compliance & Heat-Recovery Readiness

Engineering and compliance screening only: this tool is not an IMO Type Approval Certificate, MARPOL authorization, Garbage Management Plan, Garbage Record Book instruction, class-approved incinerator design, emission test, fire-protection design, refractory / stack analysis, waste-characterization study, heat-recovery pressure-system design or port-State permission. Actual waste eligibility, operating temperatures, emissions, loading limits and harbor restrictions are governed by MARPOL, the incinerator certificate / manual, flag, class and local requirements.
Reference basis: MARPOL Annex VI regulation 16 prohibits incineration of specified substances and restricts PVC incineration to qualifying IMO type-approved incinerators. Incinerators installed on ships constructed on or after 1 January 2000, or installed on existing ships on or after that date, are generally required to be type approved under the applicable IMO specification. The 2014 Standard specification in MEPC.244(66), as amended by MEPC.368(79), applies to shipboard incinerators up to 4,000 kW per unit. Its performance framework includes 850 to 1,200°C combustion-chamber outlet temperature, 6 to 12% O₂, maximum average CO 200 mg/MJ, Bacharach soot number 3 / Ringelmann 1, maximum 10% unburned components in ash and shock cooling to a maximum 350°C within 2.5 m of the combustion-chamber outlet.
