Pollution

Marine pollution is caused by untreated waste from ships and accidents at sea, contaminating water. Marine engineering plays an important role in preventing pollution by following regulations from the International Maritime Organization. Systems are used on ships to treat waste, including oily water separators, sewage treatment, and incinerators to burn solid waste and oil. These systems help ensure waste is safely discharged or stored for disposal on land to protect marine life and air quality.

As Concerned with Maritime Industry, Marine pollution is caused by

disposal of untreated or insufficiently treated waste’s from ship


And sometimes Accidents leading to Contamination of Sea-Water.
Off Shore Drilling (2.12%)
Large Oil Spills (5.24%)
Natural Seeps (8.78%)
Up in the Smokes (13.03%)
Routine Maintainance (19.24%)
Down the Drain (51.24%)
Marine Engineering is playing a important role in prevention and
Control of Marine Pollution. Keeping in Mind the Regulations and
Laws as prescribed by International Maritime Organization (IMO)
Namely MARPOL .Many systems have been Developed and are
being put in use on Board ships to overcome the problem persisting.
Care is Being taken And precision is maintained in discharging
Liquid Waste’s.

Following systems are being used on ships for treating the waste
On ships and effectively Discharging them :

•Oily Water Separator


•Oil Content Monitoring System before Discharge
•Sewage Treatment Systems
•Waste oil or Sludge Incinerator
Sewage Treatment
•Untreated sewage absorbs oxygen there by threatening the Marine
Organisms
•Pungent Smell associated with it due to Hydrogen Sulphide Can
cause harm.
•Bacteria known as coliforms can cause various diseases

Oily Bilge Water Treatment


•Large quantities of oil form a thin film on water which cuts offs
Oxygen supply to marine organisms resulting in death.

Exhaust Treatment Using incinerator


•Exhaust gases after burning of waste fuel consists of various
Effluents and suspended chemical substances that causes air
Pollution.
Separation of Oily Water is Based on the principle of Low Density
of oil due to which It comes to the surface when Mixed with water.
Thus the Water obtained is discharged Safely. And oil is collected
in a Separate tank.
Solid Garbage wastes and waste oil are burnt in Incinerator and the
Gases produced are brought upto optimum temperature levels and are
made free from suspended particles which causes air pollution.
But, this concept has gone quite old. Nowadays, garbage is packed in
Bags and discharged whenever ship reaches the port and the waste
Oil is used in boilers to save fuel.
The Sewage treatment system make the sewage inert for disposal
Into the sea. The liquid fraction is chemically treated which can be
Used again. And Solids are chemically inerted by caustic addition
And sent to a holding tank. And finally discharged overboard.
As concerned with Maritime Industry, Vessels will continue to provide
Efficient transport solutions for cargo and passenger movement while
taking Care of the environment.
