Revolutionizing Waste Disposal at Sea: Innovative Technologies for Naval Ships

The video discusses the challenges of waste disposal in naval operations due to strict environmental regulations. It introduces new waste disposal technologies developed by Kinetic and the British Defence Logistics Organization. Liquid waste is categorized into sewage and grey water, which are treated in membrane tanks. Food waste is treated using pyrolysis, a method that heats waste without oxygen. Encouraging test results suggest potential applications for pyrolysis in Army waste disposal and small community waste management.
