SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR

PURCHASE OF BILGE WATER EVAPORATORS FOR

USCG YARD BALTIMORE

1. Introduction/Background Oily bilge water is a non-hazardous oily water waste generated by the operation of vessels. Because it is contaminated with oil, it cannot be discharged into the Waters of the United States or waters of the state of Maryland. Instead, it must be offloaded from vessels and temporarily stored until it can be shipped to a waste disposal facility for treatment.

The USCG Yard provides overhaul and repair services for a variety of platform types for numerous customers. Consequently, the Yard off-loads and disposes of approximately 10,000 gallons of oil-contaminated bilge every quarter at a cost of $5,000 per load. In 2024 the Yard disposed of 40,000 gallons of oily bilge water at offsite facilities.

Oily bilge water is 90% water by volume. Bilge water evaporation systems remove the water from this waste stream, reducing the quantity of waste that must be stored and disposed of by the same amount. Purchase of an oily bilge water evaporator system will reduce the annual cost of oily bilge water disposal, and the cost of the evaporator is expected to be recovered in approximately 15 months.
