New Technology

Plasma Waste Treatment:

High Tech Taking Less Space

PyroGenisis' Compact Plasma Waste Elimination System is positioned as the most space-conscious solution for onboard ships, and in Miami at Cruise

Shipping the company was touting its installation onboard Carnival Cruise

Lines M/S Fantasy since October 2003.

The system occupies a surface of only 700 sq. ft. and is located on a single deck of the ship, and is capable of treating a variety of waste generated onboard, including cardboard, food, food contaminated waste (USDA), plastics and cabin waste. Sludge oil can also be treated by the system.

PyroGenesis is in negotiation with Carnival for additional installations. The technology was developed the technology under contract to the US Navy, and is just now making its commercial maritime debut.

New Vent Control System from Delta "T"

The new P/T4 Ventilation Control

System from Delta "T" is designed to maintain optimal engine room ventila- tion. The P/T4 System features a color touch screen for operation with built-in help screens. Greater processing power allows options for damper control and exterior temperature sensing. At main engine startup, the system goes into

Auto mode as fan speed responds to variations in both environmental and operating conditions. Intake fans speed up or slow down as air demand within the engine room changes when under- way. As the temperature rises, exhaust fans speed up to remove additional heat as needed.
