E. Operational Practicability
(i.e., the proposed treatment system is compatible with the
physical ship environment in terms of its physical footprint and power or other physical
requirements, will operate effectively and efficiently in the environment of a commercial vessel
for an extended period of time (i.e., 10 years); and will not impose in crew safety concerns.)
Please indicate by checking the appropriate box the degree to which the treatment system has
been adapted to maritime applications. Please attach (and clearly Identify as “Supporting
Information for Question III E”) all findings/supporting information related to operational
practicability of the proposed treatment system.
No evaluation yet undertaken Some initial planning in place System fully marinized
In addition, please provide your best estimates regarding the following questions:
1. What could the onboard physical configuration of the BWT system be, including general
arrangement of installed equipment?
2. Could the system be installed in an existing ship? If so, will system installation in an
existing ship likely require vessel dry-docking?
