U.K. Ministry Of Defence

Selects MFV Incinerators

For Royal Navy Frigates —Literature Available

The U.K. Ministry of Defence has selected the MFV (Moss Fredrik- stad Verft) marine incinerator, mar- keted in the United Kingdom by

Marine Ventures Ltd., as the most suitable commercially available in- cinerator for onboard installation on the Royal Navy's recently ordered

Type 23 frigates.

The Ministry of Defence selected the MFV incinerator after thor- oughly testing and comparing the various proprietary incinerators available to the marine industry.

The MFV incinerator's unique "U"- shaped combustion chamber was said to have shown to result in more thorough incineration in the least amount of time.

Having been designed as a fail- safe unit specifically for use on ships and offshore rigs, the MOD tests confirmed the MFV design as hav- ing features that make it compatible with the shipboard environment and capable of disposing of the wastes normally generated on board naval ships.

The outside surface temperature of the incinerator is maintained at a safe and moderate temperature by air cooling and insulation, making it

The MFV incinerator is manufac- tured in Norway by Moss Fredrik- stad Verft to comply with the rules of all major classification societies and the U.S. Coast Guard.

The MARPOL 73/78 IMO Con- vention dealing with ship-generated refuse and solid wastes—which is expected to be ratified in the near future—and disposal of accumu- lated oil slops are making incinera- tors a standard requirement on many new-buildings in shipyards throughout the world.
