Galley Food Waste Disposal

In order to comply with environmental regualtions and maintainits operational effectiveness, the U.S. Navy must developalternative technologies for galley waste management. WASTECHInternational, Inc. has developed a number of innovative andalternative technologies that are directly applicable to the U.S.Navy's galley waste management needs. WASTECH proposes todevelop a microwave incineration device, to be installed underthe counter in gallies and sculleries, that would effecientlyincerinate food waste at its source of generation. This type ofmanagement system would reduce pulpable galley waste byapproximately 28%, would eliminate the transport and storage ofperishable food wastes, reduce labor, and could be scaled to thefood waste requirements of a broad range of vessel classes. BENEFITS: WASTECH anticipates commercializing the galley waste incineration system developed under Phase II of this proposal as part of its overall business plan to develop products for itsresidential and commercial markets including the military (both marine and land based), commercial marine and food service markets.
