combustion control and automatic nsh-hancilin~ equipment; Shredders that reduce the particle size of waste material for easier transport and processing; Compactors to minimize storage volume for materials that must be stored; Pulpers to facilitate transport and discharge of food waste; Dewatering equipment to remove excess water from food pulp, black water sludge, gray water residues, and so on; Holding tanks for biological treatment of black water and destruction of pathogens; and Oil-water separators for bilge water (most Navy ships already have these)

From page 32... ...
items ~ through 3 are the main focus of this report, and their management is discussed in Chapters 2 and 3. items 4 through 9 are not regulated under Annex V, but they could be managed with an integrated system that would destroy paper and cardboard, food waste, black water sludge, gray water residue, bilge oil, oily rags, and medical waste.

From page 33... ...
it will require analysis beyond the scope of this report to decide whether these tanks are available and are large enough to support biological treatment of black water. The committee proposes that the integrated systems approach based on incineration is an attractive option for Navy ships, particularly for new construction, and offers good prospects for keeping pace with regulations as they evolve.
