Type II Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs)

MarineFAST® Type II Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) – For the treatment of blackwater and greywater on board vessels and off shore platforms these Type II Marine Sanitation Devices are installed on some of the ‘greenest’ boats in the world to provide total sewage treatment, pretreatment, and (in some cases) water reuse opportunities. MarineFAST® Systems allow for robust, aerobic treatment inside the tank. These systems create an optimized treatment environment with consistent aeration and mixing throughout the fixed media for maximum biomass generation. This method of operation also allows the system to withstand periods of high and low input:

  • MarineFAST® LX-Series (1 – 44+ crew)
  • MarineFAST® M- & MX-Series  (1 – 78+ crew)
  • MarineFAST® DV-Series (1 – 2,000+ crew)      

All Marine Sanitation Devices (whether Type I, II, or III) must be US Coast Guard (USCG) certified for vessels with galley(s) and toilet facilities.  These devices (MSDs) must comply with the standards set by the EPA and certified to 33CFR159, MARPOL 78/79, and the new MARPOL 2010 regulations.  Usually an MSD traveling in open waters must meet two effluent requirements to prevent discharge of untreated sewage into open waters.
