Disposal of Vessel Wastes: Shipboard and Shoreside Facilities. Phase 2. Graywater

Abstract

This report deals specifically with liquid wastes known as graywater which is also generated aboard vessels. The term 'graywater' refers to the domestic wastewaters collected from galley, laundry and shower sinks, and other miscellaneous shipboard sources. This report has two main objectives: First, to define and document present graywater treatment and disposal methods and, second, to define and assess the effects of an extended navigation season information as baseline data. In order to meet these objectives, the study was organized into five major topics: 1) characterization of graywater waste, 2) evaluation of shipboard waste treatment units, 3) environmental assessment of graywater treatment on the Great Lakes, 4) evaluation of shoreside waste disposal facilities, and 5) technical and economic assessment of graywater treatment and retention. Keywords: Characterization of graywater waste, Shipboard treatment systems, Environmental assessment, Shoreside disposal facilities, Technical and economic assessment of graywater treatment and retention.
