Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Incorporate energy recovery into the system.
Medium-term Goals:
  • Increase PAWDS capability to treat wastes such as sludge oil.
Short-term Goals:
  • Reduce system operating costs.

Environmental Challenges

  • Milling high amperage and overheating problems due to inadequate mill blade replacement procedures and insufficient spare parts.
  • Premature failures of the air plasma torch due to contamination of oil and dirt in the compressed air supply.
  • Internal shipboard procedures resulted in waste being off-loaded instead of being transferred to the PAWDS.
  • Inability of PAWDS to effectively process hard plastic waste.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Refined maintenance procedures and provided information to the ship's crew.
  • Purchased recommended spare parts.
  • Installed an air filter, a dryer, and an oil trap to rectify compressed air quality issues.
  • Purchased an additional spare torch.
  • Implemented Mill modifications to successfully process hard plastics.
  • Implemented process control improvements to the Screw Feeder and Mill temperature control.
