Shipboard Incinerator - Capacity Check
Estimate daily waste generation and required incinerator throughput per MEPC.244(66) (revised IMO Type-Approval) - plastic, food, sludge.
Daily waste mass
156kg/day
Required capacity
9.8kg/h
Approx. thermal duty
54kW
Formula, assumptions, and limits
MEPC.244(66) sets CO/NOx/dioxin limits on output gas. Typical type-approved units 50–200 kg/h. Use 20 MJ/kg mean waste CV for thermal sizing.
