A PROVEN CONCEPT

Koehler-Dayton's MSTS System incor- porates the principals of recirculation, separation, containment, and reduction into one of the most technologically advanced marine waste management systems on the market today. The process meets every current legislative requirement and most certainly every future legislative requirement due to the fact that the end result of MSTS process is "O" discharge.

The MSTS System shown above was designed for a 3,500 passenger New York

Ferry. Unique in design and simple in operation, the system uses treated liquid wastes for flushing purposes and reduces solids to ash in a highly efficient thermal chamber. For more information call or write: Koehler-Dayton, Inc.
