How to comply with today's rules on sewage treatment without going overboard*

Selecting the right shipboard sewage treatment sys- tem can be risky. You can install an inexpensive

USCG Type I system. Spend more for a system that fulfills Type II requirements. Or you can invest a lot more in a no-discharge Type III unit. There are hold- ing tanks to consider. There are also ways to adapt existing piping arrangements.

It's easy to go overboard and spend too much money on a system you don't really need. Or waste money on one that won't fulfill your requirements.

SIGMA takes the risk out of choosing a sewage treatment system. We make a full line of pre-engi- neered, flow-through systems for cargo and passen- ger vessels, tankers, LNG's, fishing and work boats, even off-shore drilling rigs.

More importantly, SIGMA engineers can put the facts in focus .. plan the system that best suits your needs. For example, we may suggest one of our com- pact USCG Type i umts that is delivered on skids. ready to operate, or multiple modules for flexibility and ease of installation. Of course, we can satisfy more advanced requirements, too. We'll even custom build a system if you and our engineers determine it's the most cost-effective system for you.

All SIGMA sewage treatment systems are easy to install, dependable and virtually maintenance-free.

And all the controls are right up front. Our systems are moderately priced and USCG-certified. Compared to biological units which must be operated continu- ously, SIGMA equipment only has to be activated when a vessel is within territorial limits.

So why go overboard on a sewage treatment system? We're ready to go to work to help you plan the most efficient system for your operations.
