| INNOVATIVE SYSTEM FOR CONCENTRATING
FOODWASTE ON SHIPS TO AVOID STORAGE AND DISPOSAL PROBLEMS. |
|
 |
For most people travelling on ships, either cross-channel ferries,
cruiseliners or naval ships, what happens to foodwaste is a mystery.
|
International maritime rules
currently prohibit dumping of untreated waste, but the likelihood
is that dumping will altogether become unacceptable.
Haigh Engineering based in Ross-on-Wye who have over forty years experience
of designing and building waste handling equipment have joined forces
with a Bristol based company to develop a revolutionary answer to
this worldwide problem. The Haigh
Food Waste Concentrator (FWC) was designed to prototype and tested
in only three months to take a ships foodwaste and turn it into
a thick slurry which can be mixed with waste oils and injected into
a high efficiency incinerator along with other ship waste.

Mr Nick Shepherd Haigh's Director
of Marketing said "The speed that we were able to design, develop
and build this brand new product in such a short time is a real credit
to the experience and commitment of the Haigh workforce. The machine
has been tested in Gosport in a simulated environment and viewed by
potential customers that include major cruise lines, Nato and the
UK armed forces and we also expect a strong overseas interest." |
