Haat has recently introduced a range of Marine Incinerators, model SWR and this has been certified by DNV-GL, Norway as complying with Annex. A.1, Item No.A.1/2.7 and Annex.B. Module B in the Directive Marpol 73/78 as amended, Annex VI Regultion 16, IMO Res. MEPC-244 (66).

This, probably, is the first and only Indian Marine Incinerator to be certified for complying with International Maritime Organisation`s (IMO) MEPC.244(6) - standard specification for Shipboard Incinerator.

The applications for this incinerator include general garbage including food waste and waste oil. The incinerator is used on board ships of the Navy and Coast Guard as well as cruise ships, cargo vessels, offshore platforms and tankers. It is also used on shore, in facilities for ship waste disposal located at ports as well as power plants using furnace oil fired generators.

The applications in a power plant are similar to the ship`s. The generators which are run on furnace oil require to have the oil storage tanks cleaned frequently due to higher sediments in this type of oil oil and this sludge oil has to be disposed of properly, like a ship`s.

The SWR incinerator is skid-mounted or containerised, which makes it easy to take it anywhere.  It has all the equipment and sub-assemblies located on a skid/container. These include the incinerator, waste oil tank, diesel tank, sludge pump, PLC control panel, ID fan etc.  Complete piping and cabling are done on the skid. There is a double-door solid waste loading arrangement for safe loading. Additionally the incinerator system functions under negative pressure for environmental and operational safety.

The system is COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC. The operator has to only load the oily sludge into the tank and connect the machine to the electrical power source and switch it ON using the HMI. The incinerator can be run 24 x 7. Its specially designed combustion chamber is of the air jacketed type, which means the skin temperature is quite low, considering operator safety in an enclosed atmosphere.

One of our SWR model incinerators has been working practically non-stop for almost 4 years in one such power plant in an Indian Ocean island. Another system is being shipped to another country near Australia for installation in a port disposal facility.

The SWR model Marine Incinerator is an environment-saving equipment with nearly self-sustaining operation and is ideal wherever the application demands.

This incinerator has been made keeping in focus the `Make in India` initiative of the Government of India.
