CATALYTIC WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS FOR GREAT LAKE ORE CARRIERS

One of the major inland waterways of the United States subject to heavy commercial and recreational boating traffic and associated pollution is the Great Lakes. The objectives of the program described in this final report were to develop and demonstrate physical-chemical waste treatment systems to treat the various waste streams (sanitary, galley, shower, and washwater) aboard an operating ore carrier on the Great Lakes. The program resulted in the demonstration of two such systems installed aboard the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company ore carrier, SS Cliffs Victory.
