Integrated Liquid Discharge System for Waste Disposal on Future Surface Combatants

摘要

National and international regulations restrict the overboard discharge of ship-generated liquid waste. During the twenty-first century, Discharges of untreated sewage, gray- Water, and oil wastes will be further Restricted in many littoral areas through- Out the world. Future surface Combatants will operate primarily in These littoral areas. Consequently, the Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) SEA 03R24 initiated a research and Development (RDT&E) program to Provide future United States (U.S.)Navy Surface combatants with the capability to Destroy liquid wastes aboard ship, maxi- Mizing shore independence, and Minimizing wastes off-load costs in foreign And domestic ports.
