Abstract
ABSTRACT National and international regulations restrict the overboard discharge of ship‐generated liquid waste. During the twenty‐first century, discharges of untreated sewage, gray‐water, and oily wastes will be further restricted in many littoral areas throughout the world. Future surface combatants will operate primarily in these littoral areas. Consequently, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) SEA 03R24 initiated a research and development (RDT&E) program to provide future United States (U.S.) Navy surface combatants with the capability to destroy liquid wastes aboard ship, maximizing shore independence, and minimizing waste off‐load costs in foreign and domestic ports. Under this R&D program, the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWCCD) developed a liquid waste abatement strategy called the integrated liquid discharge system (ILDS).The ILDS contains three distinct elements; non‐oily liquid waste treatment, oily waste treatment, and thermal destruction. The basis of the ILDS is to minimize each of the waste streams so that a shipboard thermal destruction system can be used to process the remaining volume of waste.
