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

Turn daily garbage and sludge generation into an incinerator operating plan. Separate permitted from prohibited streams, calculate solid and liquid feed rates, test mass and thermal capacity, estimate support-fuel demand for wet or low-LHV waste, project ash and waste-storage endurance, screen the IMO combustion-performance envelope, and quantify the value of an integrated heat-recovery package.

Vessel & Incineration Window

Use the vessel's Garbage Management Plan, Garbage Record Book history, sludge production records and incinerator certificate where available. Waste generation and burner demand vary strongly with ship type, persons onboard, moisture, segregation and maintenance condition.

Waste Stream Register

Choose a category to apply its regulatory route and default heating value / bulk density. LHV is as-fired and may be edited. Moisture is displayed as a quality indicator; do not subtract it again 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 material 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 unit 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 type-approved incinerators. Resolution MEPC.244(66), as amended by MEPC.368(79), provides the 2014 standard specification for shipboard incinerators up to 4,000 kW per unit. The type-approval performance framework includes a combustion-chamber outlet range of 850–1,200°C, 6–12% O₂, maximum average CO of 200 mg/MJ, maximum average soot number Bacharach 3 / Ringelmann 1 and maximum 10% unburned components in ash. It also addresses integrated heat recovery, dry-coil operation / bypass, feed-water-loss alarms and gas-side cleaning access. IMO Regulation 16 overview · MEPC.244(66).
