FAST can handle any combination of seawater, freshwater, blackwater, graywater, ground food waste, conventional toilets and vacuum toilets without adjustment.
Performance Based on Experience and Knowhow
The advantages and reliability of FAST sewage treatment systems are inherent in the FAST process. It is a winner where consistently good performance is required, where loading and operating conditions vary and where trained operators are not available. These applications include but are not limited to marine and offshore. The advantages and reliability of the FAST process also makes it ideal for many land applications (www.biomicrobics.com).

The regulations have changed several times during the past 40+ years and have continuously updated/upgraded these
units to also take advantage of technical developments. The most recent of these changes are:
Scienco/FAST obtained approval from US Coast Guard and Transport Canada using peracetic acid (PAA) as a
disinfectant instead of chlorine. PAA is environmentally friendly, eliminates the adverse effects of chlorine and its
use permits a substantial simplification and reduction in cost for disinfection systems meeting MARPOL.
Scienco/FAST also obtained certification under MEPC.227(64) with PAA. To us, the most significant effect of
MEPC.227(64) is that it stops the use of unrestricted dilution to pass certification tests.
International Standards: Shipboard sewage systems manufactured in compliance with MARPOL Annex IV may be certified by the U.S.
Coast Guard Marine Safety Center (MSC) as meeting the requirements of both 33 CFR Part 159 and MARPOL Annex IV. Type approval is
annotated on the U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Approval. More information is available in the U.S. Coast Guard Navigation and Vessel
Inspection Circular No. 1‐09.
Vessel Manufacturers: Manufacturers may not sell or distribute vessels having an installed toilet facility, unless it is equipped with an
installed and operational MSD of the type approved by the U.S. Coast Guard to meet the requirements of 33 CFR Part 159. The term vessel
includes every description of watercraft or other artificial contrivance used, or capable of being used, as a means of transportation on the
waters of the United States.
Vessel Operators: No person may operate any Vessel having an installed toilet facility, unless it is equipped with an installed and operable
MSD of a type approved by the U.S. Coast Guard to meet the requirements of 33 CFR Part 159.
Inspected Vessels: In addition to the requirements in 33 CFR Part 159, inspected vessels must also comply with the marine engineering
regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter F and the marine electrical regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter J. The U.S. Coast Guard Certificate of Approval
and device label will both indicate inspected vessel for those devices that meet these additional requirements and therefore are suitable for
installation onboard inspected vessels. For more information see 33 CFR 159.97.
International Voyages: U.S. vessels on international voyages may obtain a U.S. Coast Guard Statement of Voluntary Compliance to
demonstrate compliance with international sewage regulations contained in Annex IV to MARPOL 73/78. More information is available in the
U.S. Coast Guard Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular No. 1‐09. MARPOL Annex IV, a sewage treatment plant installed on a passenger
ship intending to discharge sewage effluent in special areas should additionally meet effluent standards when tested for its Certificate of Type
Approval by the Administration
Foreign vessels: While in U.S. waters, foreign vessels having a valid International Sewage Pollution Prevention Certificate (ISPPC) issued by
its flag Administration indicating that the installed sewage system complies with MARPOL Annex IV as amended by either resolution
MEPC.159(55) or MEPC.2(VI) will be accepted by the U.S. Coast Guard as being in compliance with 33 CFR 159.7(b) or (c) provided the system
is in operable condition. For more information see Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular No. 1‐09.

MarineFAST®
- How It Works:
1. Sewage enters the system. No need for a macerator or bar
screen to clean or repair.
2. Quiet, compact BLOWER provides air through the piping
system that connects to the airlift inside the media tank.
3. Aeration through the AIRLIFT circulates and aerates the tank
contents to promote microorganisms present in sewage to
grow and become fixed on Media to digest organic material.
Media does not require replacement or cleaning.
4. From center line SPILLOVER pipe, treated effluent passes
through TABLET CHLORINATOR and dissolves chlorine tablet
proportional to the flow rate. Other disinfection methods
are available.
5. Sized for peak flow periods, the Chlorine Contact Tank or
WETWELL provides the chlorine enough time to disinfect
treated effluent prior to discharge. Automatic Float Switches
(shown in yellow) located in the center line of the tank gauge water levels for on/off operation.
6. A submerged EFFLUENT PUMP in the wetwell transfers the treated effluent to discharge out of the tank. Other transfer options available.
EFFLUENT STANDARDS
Check which effluent requirements you must meet. See chlor/dechlor and PAA disinfection options, as well!
USCG 33CFR159 - Minimum 33CFR159 / MEPC.2(VI) standards for 150 TSS, 200 fecal, certified by U.S. Coast Guard installed aboard
vessels and not subject to effluent sampling in service not required by regulations.
MARPOL 2010 - 25 BOD5, 35 TSS, 125 COD, 100 fecal effluent for USCG certified units and recommended for general marine use with 2
months internal sludge storage and dechlorination of effluent. Secondary treatment may be required for restricted waters, barges meeting local
or harbor regulations, and offshore applications that are subject to state or other regulations.
USEPA Secondary Treatment - Applications requiring 85% removal, 30 BOD5, 30 TSS secondary treatment, 3 months internal sludge
storage, and derate by 10% for dilute sewage.

SHOW ME a Simple RO!
By the Engineering Teams at Georg Fischer, LTD (www.georgfischer.com); Scienco/FAST
In the “show‐me” state of Missouri, a St. Louis‐based manufacturer is taking “show‐me,” user‐friendly technology to a new level in clean water treatment.
Scienco/FAST, a subsidiary of Bio‐Microbics, Inc., is well known for their innovative water treatment solutions (potable and waste) for shipboard use. With
over forty years in product development, they are no stranger to the industry or to the challenges that are inherent in the operation of water treatment
systems on oceangoing vessels.
Scienco® SciRO™ Reverse Osmosis (RO) system, encapsulates that knowledge. At the heart of the system is Georg Fischer’s innovative 0846 Profibus
Concentrator, a device that simplifies the integration of Signet measurement and Georg Fischer valves into a PLC with a minimum of programming and
wiring. The Scienco Team was aided in unlocking the power of this device by two St. Louis‐based distributors, Spec‐Tech Industrial Electric
(spectechind.com) and Indelco Plastics, formerly Corrosion Products (indelco.com). The result is a compact RO unit that is easily customizable for
deployment globally aboard ships and in land‐based applications.

MarineFAST Marine Sanitation Devices Meet Any Known Testing Standards for Inspected Vessels
All Marine Sanitation Devices (whether Type I, II, or III) must be US Coast Guard
(USCG) certified for inspected or uninspected vessels with galley(s) and toilet
facilities. These devices (MSDs) must comply with the 33 Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR) Part 159 regulations “to prevent discharge of untreated sewage
from vessels into the waters of the United States,” says the US Coast Guard. This
certification increasingly means the dilution of sewage is not an acceptable means
for removing pollution; however Type II systems with biological treatment process
(such as the MarineFAST® units manufactured by Scienco/FAST,
www.sciencofast.com) are ideal. Type II Marine Sanitation Devices are flow
through discharge devices that produce effluent having a fecal coliform bacteria
count not greater than 200 per 100 milliliters and suspended solids not greater
than 150 milligrams per liter.
MarineFAST sanitation devices (MSDs) are installed on some of the ‘greenest’
boats in the world to provide total sewage treatment, pretreatment, and (in some
cases) water reuse opportunities. The MarineFAST units provide outstanding
effluent quality and starts up much faster than conventional suspended growth
processes ‐ usually in half the time!
MarineFAST units are capable of handling any combination of blackwater,
graywater, ground food waste, freshwater, seawater, vacuum toilets and
conventional toilets. MarineFAST processes raw, unscreened sewage as it is
produced. The MarineFAST process supports a more complex microbial culture
than conventional suspended growth systems. Higher ordered microorganisms
predate upon simpler microorganisms and reduce the mass rate of sludge
accumulation by one‐third or more. No need for macerators, grinders,
pretreatment or flow equalization tanks.
Usually MarineFAST handles upset conditions and surges with no operator
intervention required. Clogging in everyday operation is virtually impossible; there
are no moving parts in contact with sewage, no filters, membranes or fine pore
aerators to blind or plug. The smallest MarineFAST units are sized to handle
harbor tugs and individual float homes. The biggest systems have handled
195,000+ gpd for full crew vessels.
Over a 33 year span and with standard production units, MarineFAST effluent meets any
known marine testing standards and worldwide regulations, such as, 33CFR159,
MEPC.159(55), MARPOL Annex IV (2010) – which provides guidance for the Navigation and
Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 1‐09, US EPA and other effluent standards as may be
required. All claims for the FAST process and for FAST sewage treatment systems are
supported by 45,000 installations worldwide and over 40 years of research, development
and real world operating experience.
After 30 years of continuous service, many units remain in everyday operation. When
requirements change, these units can be and are updated at minimal cost.
From the Systems Engineering Division (CG‐ENG‐3) of USCG: “In addition to the MSD
requirements in 33 CFR Part 159, inspected vessels must also comply with the marine
engineering regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter F and the marine electrical regulations in 46
CFR Subchapter J.”

Inspected Vessels and Offshore Structures Require Marine Sanitation Devices
All Marine Sanitation Devices (whether Type I, II, or III) must be US Coast Guard
(USCG) certified for inspected or uninspected vessels with galley(s) and toilet
facilities.
Type II Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) must comply with the 33 Code of Federal
Regulation (CFR) Part 159 regulations “to prevent discharge of untreated sewage
from vessels into the waters of the United States,” says the US Coast Guard (USCG).
From their site, the System Engineering Division (CG-ENG-3) of USCG states
(http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5213/msd.asp), “In addition to the MSD requirements
in 33 CFR part 159, inspected vessels must also comply with the marine engineering
regulations in 46 CFR Subchapter F and the marine electrical regulations in 46 CFR
Subchapter J.”
They are certified, flow-through discharge devices that produce effluent having fecal
coliform bacteria count not greater than 200 per 100 milliliters and suspended solids
not greater than 150 milligrams per liter. This certification means the dilution of
sewage is not an acceptable means for removing pollution. That is why Type II
systems with biological treatment process, such as MarineFAST
(www.sciencofast.com), are ideal.
The MarineFAST® technology does a better job of treating all blackwater (toilet(s),
galley sink(s), ground food waste, etc.) and graywater (laundry, personal wash water,
dishwater(s), etc.) generated on board. The MarineFAST process supports a more
complex microbial culture than conventional suspended growth systems and reduces
the mass rate of sludge accumulation by one-third or more. No need for macerators,
grinders, pretreatment or flow equalization tanks.
MarineFAST systems are certified by the US Coast Guard’s USCG and International
Maritime Organization’s MEPC.159 (55) effluent standards. The certification process
involves thorough testing of how the system handles shock and vibration in the most
extreme environments above and beyond standard requirements.
Typical effluent standards include the following:
USCG 33CFR159 - Minimum 33CFR159 / MEPC.2(VI) standards for 150
TSS, 200 fecal count, certified by U.S. Coast Guard installed aboard vessels
and not subject to effluent sampling.
MARPOL 2010 - 25 BOD5, 35 TSS, 125 COD, and 100 fecal count for USCG
certified units and recommended for general marine use with 2 months
internal sludge storage and dechlorination of effluent. Secondary treatment
may be required for restricted waters, barges meeting local or harbor
regulations, and offshore applications that are subject to state or other
regulations.
USEPA Secondary Treatment - Applications requiring 85% removal, 30
BOD5, 30 TSS, 3 months internal sludge storage, and derate by 10% for
dilute sewage.
Not only are type II MSDs required for all inspected vessels, the MarineFAST’s
patented, robust treatment process delivers consistent performance, system
reliability, and easy maintenance. With a marine vessel’s constant movement, small
space requirements, variable ship personnel, and flow surges, the MarineFAST is
self-regulating and has a long service life. Installed for new ship-building construction
or retrofit for upgrading current systems, these MarineFAST® LX- (1-40 crew), M- &
MX- (1-80 crew), and DV- (1-2,000+ crew) Series wastewater treatment systems help
lessen the environmental impact of contaminants and produce high-quality effluent to
help keep the vessel in compliance.
MarineFAST sanitation devices (MSDs) are installed on some of the ‘greenest’ boats
in the world to provide total sewage treatment, pretreatment, and (in some cases)
water reuse opportunities. The MarineFAST units provide outstanding effluent quality
and starts up much faster than conventional suspended growth processes - usually in
half the time!
