Would like to see plasma torches on cruise ships for waste..

Would like to see in a near future plasma torches on the biggest cruise ships for waste disposal...just like the aircraft carriers! Is it possible?

Why not  better than throwing it over board as ships used to do  Management of waste on board ships is a matter that is being urgently addressed by the various Navies of the world and the cruise industry. Almost every activity performed on a ship generates solid waste, which represents the most visible and largest volume of the shipboard waste streams. The solid waste generated is

Saw this to answer your curiosity A commercial PAWDS has been in operation aboard a Carnival Cruise Lines ship since 2003. what happened since i dont know . plasma arc waste destruction system = PAWDS

Hi Tcheck, After I read your post, I sent a question about it to Peter on Agoracom.  Let's see what he replies. Regards, Snowdrift

hi musing about the waste disposal problem of ships  i was thinking maybe they could think of a pawd shuttle which would service the waste of all ships in a harbour . probably silly ;)

5 oceans would know this ships in port either have a trash truck that comes along side or a barge with a trash truck this trash is incinerated to halt the spread of dieases they will throw trash over the side if they are so many miles from shore. it would help all oceans if all cotainer,bulk,liquid,car ships had torches to reduce waste the only problem is china is a big ship builder and they could

You would think the burners would be in high demand for crematoriums.  All the lefties will wanna leave with a low carbon footprint.  Another great division?

I think developbc explained why the application is not a no brainer for so many companies that have lots of waste. And I think Peter alluded to on Agoracom that cruise ships are not an easy sell. Just shows that you cannot start counting on billions of revenues on each division as cool as the stuff sounds.

Unlike the current class of aircraft carriers which are powered by a nuclear reactor, cruise ships are primarily powered by diesel engines burning heavy fuel oil. Burning heavy fuel oil to generate electricity to run plasma torches would not be an efficient "green" solution.
