Company Overview

Scienco/FAST, a division of Bio‐Microbics, Inc. has delivered thousands of advanced, Marine Sanitation Devices (MSD) that are pre‐engineered, pre‐packaged blackwater/greywater treatment systems on a variety of vessels and offshore platforms around the world. With more than 60,000 installations ranging from harbor tugs to cruise ships and from single homes to small cities in over 70 countries, our simple, low‐cost, robust “Fixed Integrated Treatment Technologies” (FITT®) are the result of decades of real world operation and proven results…FITT® for the purpose intended.

With pioneering the development of wastewater treatment technologies since the first our installation 1969 in the maritime industry, Scienco/FAST has become a leading U.S. manufacturer and educator regarding regulations, technologies, installation experiences, and challenges facing this sector and is the most experienced solutions provider in the MSD retrofit market.

The MarineFAST MSD process uses efficient, aerobic fixed film process capable of meeting or exceeding any known effluent standard. Combined with a recommended disinfection system to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, the MarineFAST MSD System offers a compact, modular design with simple, fully automatic operation to provide years of trouble‐free existence making it an attractive solution for any type of vessel and Ship Operator!

The process can produce effluent that meets virtually any requirement worldwide and will do so without adjustments, clogging or other such problems. Using the excellent FAST process, the equipment itself is designed on the basis of the applicable regulations.

Although many people treat sewage treatment as a public service, the key to our business is to fully meet the requirements of the individual customer and regulation without unnecessary cost or complexity. For example, units certified for international voyages under MARPOL regulations are more expensive than those meeting domestic requirements for rivers and lakes in many countries.

So, to determine if we can give you what you need, contact us about your specific requirements:

Email us: [email protected]


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.

Marine Sanitation Devices

MarineFAST® Wastewater Treatment Systems are Type II Marine Sanitation Devices. With a powerful, flow‐through, biological (aerobics Digestion) process, MarineFAST systems do a better job of treatment blackwater and greywater on board to produce a higher quality effluent. Scienco/FAST adheres to the strictest quality control standards to ensure a superior product and long service life. Meets and exceeds most national and international standards set by Coast Guards and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, these pre‐engineered, modular systems are ideal for new and retrofit installations aboard vessels and platforms of all types:

Towboats

Tugs

Drill ships

Fireboats

Tankers

Icebreakers

Cruise ships

Harbor tugs

Pilot boats

Crane barges

Semi‐submersibles

Container ships

Survey ships

School ships

Offshore platforms

Offshore supply vessels

Diving support vessels

Shop & office barges

Bulk carriers

Research vessels

Floating homes, etc…

All units (in‐stock or custom‐made) are put through a full “wet function” test right before shipping to customer.

“Let us help bring your system into compliance and keep it

there at the lowest total cost for treatment.”


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.


Decades of engineering experience have given Scienco/FAST valuable insights into the world of shipboard water treatment. Scienco Systems were the hallmark of salt‐based tableting and brine systems in the 1950‐60’s when it was a division of Morton Salt during its expansion phase in its history and sold to combine with FAST Systems in 1985. “We’ve all been on the operating side of it,” said Steve Carpenter, Director of Engineering at Scienco. “We know what works from being on the other side of the fence. We’ve operated these systems in the Navy and aboard merchant vessels.” Jim Predeau, Senior General Manager of Operations at Scienco/FAST, has been on that “other side of the fence” for over 46 years. He explained, “We are all very aware of where the trouble spots are in our industry. Severe space restrictions, minimized downtime, as well as operators with diverse responsibilities, backgrounds, and languages all present issues that often compete with each other. Addressing each one effectively is certainly a challenge. With our background in the industry, we have experienced the results of great execution. That’s why ease of operation is the DNA of Scienco.”

“In catastrophic situations,” Jim Predeau, Senior General Manager of Operations at Scienco/FAST noted, “water becomes a primary need. With just a few hours of operator training on the Profibus Concentrator, our new Scienco SciRO system can begin processing clean water.”

In conjunction with their simplified operating methods, the advanced design and affordable price point of Signet products require little maintenance or troubleshooting and decreases the probability of human error. Scienco/FAST predicts their new SciRO system will have a global impact, both with shipboard and 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!
