Abstract (en)

A method and an ocean-going vessel are disclosed for more effectively incinerating hazardous liquid wastes at sea. Intermodal shipping tank containers (12) are filled at waste generation sites; transported to dockside and loaded above decks on an incinerator ship (15); taken out to sea and incinerated in horizontal, liquid burning type incinerators (17) so that the effluents emerge horizontally. Wastes flow by gravity from containers (12) into staging sumps (217) located below decks, and then pumped to incinerator. Pollution abatement tanks, (206) also below decks, collect spilled waste from containers, as well as overflow from staging sumps. Material collected in abatement tanks is pumped into staging sump, and pumped to incinerator. Fuel oil may be introduced into sumps for fueling incinerators to maintain incinerator operation when there is insufficient supply of waste. Effluents are sea-water scrubbed for cooling to eliminate thermal lift and carried promptly into sea.
