Ahead Sanitation Systems

AHEAD TANK biological aerobic Type II marine sanitation devices for commercial vessels, USCG certified and IMO MEPC.2(VI) approved; models for 6 to 20 persons in rotomolded polyethylene.

Description

Ahead Sanitation Systems supplies the AHEAD TANK, a biological aerobic Type II marine sanitation device (MSD) for sewage treatment on commercial vessels. Naturally occurring bacteria, supplied with oxygen, break down the solids, and a mild disinfectant is added before discharge. No moving parts contact the sewage. Separator Spares & Equipment is an authorized distributor, also supplying consumables, toilets, discharge pumps, control panels and blowers.

Treatment stages

  • Aeration: bacteria digest the sewage, reducing quantity and size of solids
  • Clarification: bacterial floc settles out, leaving clean water
  • Chlorination: treated water is disinfected before gravity discharge overboard or to a holding tank

Flow between chambers is by direct displacement, so no internal sewage pumps are needed.

Construction

  • Rotomolded LLPE polyethylene tank with integral multi-chamber structure
  • Lightweight, will not rust or corrode; resistant to harsh chemicals and UV
