WARNING SUMMARY

The ORCA IIA Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) receives, treats, and discharges processed sewage (blackwater – B/W or graywater G/W) waste overboard (when permitted).

BLACKWATER - waste of human origin from water closets and urinals that is transported by the ship sewage system.

GRAYWATER - discarded water from deck drains, lavatories, showers, dishwashers, laundries, and garbage grinders as well as discarded water from shipboard medical facilities. Graywater does not include industrial waste, infectious waste, and/or human body waste.

Personnel must, at all times, observe all safety regulations while performing maintenance or repairs. Every practical safety feature has been incorporated into the design and manufacture of this equipment, however, personnel must be aware of the following potential hazards:

MODIFICATION HAZARD

Unauthorized modifications, alterations or installations of or to this equipment are prohibited and are in violation of AR 750-10. Any such unauthorized modifications, alterations or installations could result in death, injury or damage to the equipment.

MOVING MACHINERY HAZARDS

Be very careful when operating or working near moving machinery.

Running engines, rotating shafts and other moving machinery parts could cause personal injury or death. Before maintenance is performed on motor driven equipment, the main circuit breaker should be de-energized and labeled “OUT OF SERVICE.” Only authorized maintenance personnel should make repairs to this equipment.

GAS HAZARDS

A serious potential hazard associated with sewage systems is hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It is a colorless, flammable, toxic gas with a characteristic smell of rotten eggs at low concentrations. However the sense of smell is lost after 2-15 minutes of exposure, making it impossible to smell dangerous concentrations. The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for H2S is 10 parts of H2S for every million parts of air (commonly expressed as 10 ppm H2S).

The IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) limit is 100 ppm H2S. In addition when H2S burns, it produces another very toxic gas, sulfur dioxide (SO2). For additional information, refer to Naval Ships Technical Manual (NSTM) Chapter 593, POLLUTION CONTROL, S9086-T8-STM-010. When removing access covers, fresh air from a known outside source must be supplied to the surrounding area. Only after this fresh air has been supplied for proper tank ventilation should personnel open the tank. Under no circumstances should any person service a tank without a second person, capable of rendering aid, standing by. If an extended period of time for tank repair is anticipated, personnel should utilize the proper respiratory equipment.

Immediately Dangerous To Life Or Health (IDLH) is a classification assigned by the U.S. Navy Gas-Free Engineering Program (Naval Ships’ Technical Manual (NSTM) CHAPTER 074, VOLUME 3 - GAS FREE ENGINEERING S9086-CH-STM-030) to a confined space (such as sewage holding tanks or sewage system piping) in which the atmosphere meets one or more of the following conditions: flammable vapors at a concentration of 10 percent or greater of the lower explosive limit (LEL); an oxygen content of less than 19.5% or greater than 22%; the presence of toxicants above IDLH exposure limits given in Appendix G of NSTM Chapter 074, Volume 3. Entry into IDLH spaces is authorized only under emergency conditions and only the Commanding Officer can authorize opening and entry into IDLH spaces. Additional information concerning hydrogen sulfide and sewage tank entry is provided in NSTM Chapter 593, S9086-T8-STM-010 and NSTM CHAPTER 074, VOLUME 3, S9086-CH-STM-030.

SAFETY SUMMARY - Continued

CHEMICAL HAZARDS

The ORCA IIA MSD requires a constant supply of hypochlorite solution (common household bleach). Containers for the solution must be stored in a six inch bed of sand, located in a well ventilated, dark, and dry area. When handling containers, take extreme care to avoid hypochlorite solution contact with the skin, excessive inhalation of the vapors, or splashing in eyes. In case of an accident, flush the affected areas with water IMMEDIATELY. An Emergency Eye Wash Station must be located in the bleach storage area.

DISEASE HAZARDS

Good personal hygiene habits by those operating and servicing the MSD are imperative. Washing of hands with hot, potable water and disinfectant soap should be accomplished after coming in contact with sewage or any contaminated equipment. Personnel shall not be allowed to eat, smoke, or drink, in the MSD pump room.

Personnel with skin abrasions, punctures, or any other wounds shall not be allowed to service MSD equipment. In order to minimize the risks of health and sanitation hazards associated with the MSD, personnel shall follow sanitary and hygienic practices contained in section 4 of NSTM Chapter 593, S9086–T8–STM-010. When performing maintenance, which requires disassembly of sewage equipment or when contact with sewage is possible, personnel protective equipment (PPE) specified in section 4 of NSTM Chapter 593, S9086–T8–STM-010 shall be donned.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Respect all circuits. Precautions set forth in Naval Ship’s Technical Manual (NSTM), Chapters 300, 302, 310, and 320, shall be observed with respect to electrical equipment and circuits. Special precautionary measures are essential to prevent applying power to the system/equipment at any time maintenance work is in progress.

Disconnect power and tag the circuit to warn of a potentially dangerous situation. Use a multimeter to ensure all electrical circuits are de-energized before touching any part of the circuit. Before working on electrical system/equipment, check with multimeter to ensure that system is not energized. Circuits not known to be dead must be considered live and dangerous at all times. The voltages used to operate this equipment are high enough to cause severe injury or death. When working near electricity, do not use metal rules, flashlights, metallic pencils, or any other objects having exposed conducting material. Troubleshooting procedures frequently require that checks be made while the power is on. Use extreme care to prevent contact with live circuit parts. Touching these parts could result in electrical shock. Be sure to de-energize all equipment before connecting or disconnecting meters or test leads. When connecting a meter to terminals for measurement, use a range higher than the expected voltage.

DO NOT REPAIR OR ADJUST ALONE

Under no circumstances should repair or adjustment of energized equipment be attempted alone. The immediate presence of someone capable of rendering aid is required. Before making adjustments, be sure to protect against grounding. If possible, adjustments should be made with one hand, with the other hand free and clear of equipment. Even when power has been removed from equipment circuits, dangerous potentials may still exist due to retention of charges by capacitors. Circuits must be grounded and all capacitors discharged prior to attempting repairs.

TEST EQUIPMENT

Make certain test equipment is in good condition. If a test meter must be held, ground the case of the meter before starting measurements. Do not touch live equipment or personnel working on live equipment while holding a test meter. Some types of measuring devices should not be grounded; such devices should not be held when taking measurements.

INTERLOCKS

Interlocks are provided for safety of personnel and equipment and should be used only for the purpose intended.

They should not be battle-shorted or otherwise modified except by authorized maintenance personnel. Do not depend solely upon interlocks for protection. Whenever possible, disconnect power at power distribution source.

For Artificial Respiration, refer to FM 4-25.11.

SECTION III. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

1-10. General. Figure 1-2 illustrates how the sanitation device interfaces with other external components in the sewage system. For the operation of these individual system components, refer to the LCU Operator’s Manual, TM 55-1905-223-10.

1-11. System Functional Description. The following describes the sanitation system design and the sewage treatment process.

a. System Description.

(1) The Marine Sanitation Device is a self contained unit. All of the major components are located within the enclosure panels of the unit, with the exception of the bleach tank, commode warning light, and remote status indicator panel.

(2) The system is equipped with an electronic monitoring system which automatically controls the treatment of sewage, warns of any motor shutdown, and pinpoints the problem motor. It also warns of any treatment tank overload condition, thus avoiding damage to other system components or to the vessel’s electrical supply.

(3) The control system comprises one modular unit. The control panel assembly (Figure 1-3) houses the electronic monitoring circuit and an in-line circuit breaker.

b. Treatment Process. (Figure 1-4.)

(1) Blackwater and graywater from the surge tank enters the treatment tank of the MSD. The sewage is macerated and chlorinated. The macerated sewage is continuously recirculated into the treatment tank until the solids are small enough to pass through the retention/reduction screen. The retention/reduction screen is continuously backwashed to prevent solid build up and clogging/plugging. Sewage particles that passed through the screen enter the inlet of the flow pump, which pumps the sewage into the sedimentation tanks. Any agglomerated solids fall to the bottom of the sedimentation tanks and are returned via the sludge flow control valve to the treatment tank for further processing. If pressure in the discharge line builds up above 35 psig (241.5 kPa), the pressure relief valve opens to allow the return of processed sewage into the treatment tank.

(2) The processed effluent is discharged from the MSD through a spring loaded check valve. The check valve creates a back pressure to allow flow through the sludge return lines. The minimum pressure required to start opening is 5 psi (34.5 kPa). This pressure will increase as the discharge flow increases. The effluent is disinfected with a bleach solution (sodium hypochlorite and water) and chemical oxidation within the treatment tank. Disinfection is accomplished by a metering system (solenoid and needle valve) that meters an appropriate amount of bleach into the treatment tank. The bleach solution is stored in a 10 gallon tank mounted above the treatment tank.

(3) The level sensor assembly is located on the inlet side of the retention/reduction screen and consists of four electrodes (ground, low level, demand level, and high level). The level of the sewage in the treatment tank in relation to the electrodes is sensed by the microprocessor in the circuit control board assembly.

(4) When the sewage level reaches the tip of the demand electrode, an 18 minute cycle is started. If the low level electrode is uncovered after 18 minutes, the MSD stops processing sewage and goes into the standby mode. If the low level probe is covered after 18 minutes, another 18 minute cycle continues without interruption and the cycles are repeated, if necessary, until the low level probe is uncovered. If the sewage level covers the high level electrode, the HIGH LEVEL LED light on the status indicator (control panel) begins flashing. If the high level condition persists for 10 minutes, the MSD will shutdown automatically. During this automatic shutdown period, the LED light on the status indicator will remain illuminated. The MSD will not automatically restart after a power failure, the reset pushbutton must be depressed to restart the MSD system.

b. Retention/Reduction Screen (2). Retains larger solids in the treatment tank until they are broken down by the macerator and able to pass through and into the sedimentation modules.

c. Impact Sprinkler/Backwash Nozzles (3). Washes the retention/reduction screen to prevent clogging by solid.

d. Flow Pump (4). Moves the effluent from the treatment tank into the sedimentation tanks.

e. Sedimentation Tanks (5). Three sets of split tanks (6 total) in series for the filtration and settlement of suspended solids.

f. Level Sensor Assembly (6). Monitors the treatment tank level by sending a signal to the electrical junction box which controls pump operation. It is located inside the treatment tank.

g. Macerator Pump (7). A garbage disposal type unit for shredding treated sewage.

h. Backwash Pressure Gauge (8). Indicates the pressure on the backwash water inlet line. The gauge line located in the front of the unit is installed in the backwash water line on the underside of the unit.

i. Backwash Solenoid Valve (9). Controls the backwash water while the system is processing or is in the rest period. It is located on the underside of the unit beneath the treatment tank area.

j. Bleach Tank (10). Provides storage for the bleach solution. It is located separate from the unit and has a gravity feed for delivering the bleach through a metering valve and to the optional metering solenoid valve on the unit.

k. Metering Valve (11). Meters the required amount of bleach solution into the treatment tank for disinfection of the effluent.

l. Metering Solenoid Valve (12). Electrically operated valve controls delivery of bleach from the bleach tank to the unit. It operates only when the metering valve is open.

m. Status Indicator (13). Indicates any motor malfunction or high level of sewage.

n. Control Panel Assembly. (14). Provides location for the mode selector switch, microprocessor, electrical connections, and is the control system that continually monitors motor operation and treatment tank conditions.

o. Vent Piping (15). Vents the sanitation device to the outside air. Vent float check valves within each sedimentation tank cover prevent liquid from entering the vent piping system.

p. Surge Tank (16). Provides short term storage prior to treatment tank to prevent overflow when system is shutdown and prevent treatment tank from running low on effluent.

q. Surge Pump (17). Transfers unprocessed sewage from the surge tank to the treatment tank, controlled by level sensors.

r. Commode Warning Light (18). Activated by the tank level indicator on the surge/holding tanks. Indicates treatment tank is filled to capacity.

2-3

Ensure that the vessel’s primary circuit breaker and the control panel circuit breaker are in the OPEN (OFF) position at the start of these procedures.

Toxic and flammable vapors are generated in the sewage system. Provide ventilation from outside source before removing treatment tank covers. Avoid open flames and prolonged breathing of fumes.

(1) Fill bleach tank with 10 gallons (38 liters) of bleach. Check all connections for leaks. Tighten as necessary.

(2) Open all sewage inlet, vent and discharge lines to the MSD.

(3) Align gray water and black water diverter valves to overboard or holding tank. Align valves to surge tank and macerator for transfer to treatment tank.

(4) Manually fill MSD treatment tank with water until level stabilizes at approximately mid level in the treatment tank.

(5) Open backwash gate valve. Check pressure gauge to ensure 40 ± 5 psi (275.8 +/- 34.5 kPa) backwash pressure.

(6) Place MODE switch on control panel to CONT position.

(7) Place POWER switch to ON position only long enough to observe flow pump rotation.

(8) Flow pump shaft rotation must be clockwise as viewed from the motor end of the pump. Observe arrow rotation on the pump casing/frame. If rotation is not correct, reverse power leads to system.

(9) Repeat step (6) above to ensure correct rotation.

(10) Place MODE switch on control panel to AUTO position.

(11) Push RESET pushbutton.

(12) Flush clean toilet continuously until surge tank fills and MSD starts. Wait 10 seconds between flushes. The MSD will start automatically and process sewage for 18 minutes. After the 18 minute cycle, the system will stop. If the MSD continues past 18 minutes, refer to Section IV, Unit Maintenance Troubleshooting.

(13) Initially open the metering valve 1/4 turn. The metering valve will require further adjustment when sewage is processed.

(14) The MSD is now ready for operation.

Final adjustments are made by sampling the effluent from the discharge to get the required level of residual chlorine.

d. Normal Operation. To normally operate the MSD, proceed as follows (Figure 1-2):

(1) Align Marine Sanitation Device Supply and Discharge Piping System as follows:

(a) Open SW-14, SUPPLY TO MSD.

(b) Fill Bleach Tank.

g. Drain MSD Procedure. Drain MSD for prolonged storage and where there is a possibility of freezing.

(1) Perform Paragraph 2-6.h. steps 1 through 7.

(2) Place a suitable container under each drain plug to catch waste water.

(3) Remove the drain plug at the Macerator discharge elbow.

(4) Remove the drain plug at the Flow Pump housing.

(5) Remove the drain plug for the sludge return line, located on the unit foundation, below the Flow

Pump motor.

(6) Drain the overboard discharge line and the backwash water supply line, loosen the bolts at the connection flanges and pry them loose until all liquid is drained.

If the zinc anode requires replacement, perform item 10 of Table 2-4 at the completion of draining the MSD.

(7) Ensure there is no liquid in the backwash supply line between the Solenoid Valve and the sprinkler head or nozzles, remove the low pressure switch line (at the switch end) and let it drain. Reconnect low pressure switch line when draining is complete.

(8) Empty the chlorine tank and disposed of chlorine IAW regulations.

h. Flushing MSD System. This procedure addresses the biologically safe way to flush out hazards and make working on the MSD system much safer. The hazard warnings and cautions should still be adhered to regardless of how safe the system might be.

To flush the MSD, proceed as follows:

(1) Place the POWER circuit breaker for the sewage transfer pump to the OFF position.

(2) Place the MSD Control Panel circuit breaker to the OFF position.

(3) Remove the treatment tank inspection cover.

(4) Fill the treatment tank with fresh water to the top float switch level, replace the treatment tank inspection cover, but do not bolt.

Do not operate the MSD with just the backwash pump and the chlorinator when the treatment tank is empty, unless you are securing it for immediate repairs/maintenance and placing it back in service after repairs are complete.

Doing so will create a hyper-chlorinated mix which may be corrosive to the Macerator and the Flow Pump.

(a) If fresh water is not available to fill the treatment tank use the backwash pump to rinse treatment tank.

1. Turn off the Chlorine Metering Valve.

2. Place the MSD Control Panel circuit breaker to the ON position and the MODE switch in the CONT position.

2-10

3. Ensure that backwash water is flowing into the treatment tank, by looking through the clear inspection cover. If no clear cover is installed, do so by observing the pressure gauge. The gauge pressure will fluctuate as the solenoid valve opens/closes.

If the unit is allowed to run totally dry damage, to the flow pump impeller and mechanical seal is imminent.

4. If pump cavitation is heard or after 15 minutes secure the system and inspect flow pump to ensure the mechanical seal is cool to the touch.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until systems backwash pump have been allowed to operate for a total of 30 minutes.

6. Place the MSD MODE switch and Control Panel circuit breaker to the OFF position.

7. Ensure the treatment tank is empty. Proceed to Step (8) below.

(5) Place the MSD Control Panel circuit breaker to the ON position and the MODE switch in the CONT position until the treatment tank is empty.

(6) Repeat steps 3, 4 & 5 two times.

(7) As soon as the unit is empty for a third time, place the MSD Control Panel circuit breaker to the OFF position.

(8) Perform repairs or maintenance IAW applicable repair procedure.

(9) Install treatment tank inspection cover and tighten bolts removed in step 3.
