Food Production Grease Traps for Cargo Ships to Conserve the Marine Environment

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to: 1) build a grease trap tank for a cargo ship to conserve the marine environment, 2) find the efficiency of the grease trap for the cargo ship in treating the discharge of effluent from the ship into the sea. The untreated waste causes damage to the marine environment including marine lives. The wastewater treatment system was therefore developed for storing various wastes from washing on board such as wastewater from consumption. The wastewater need to be treated for better properties before discharging. The tools used in the study were the efficiency evaluation forms and recording forms of the test.

The results of the research showed that the grease trap from food production for the cargo ship reached very high efficiency. The results of wastewater treatment also passed the standard criteria.
