Emptying at sea:
The entire system can be emptied on the high seas out-
side of closed areas and outside the 12-mile zone. Switch
the T-valve, repeat the recirculation procedure several
times until all faeces in all tanks have been shredded,
and use the emptying function via L-valve to empty all
three tanks individually. If all tanks are empty, you can
use the on-board toilet with seawater to refill the plant
and empty it again, so that all faeces are pumped into
the sea.
Emptying into canisters:
If no dockside pump out facility is available, a collection
canister (20 l) can be used into which the faeces residu-
es can be pumped. For this purpose, a switching valve
can be installed. The canister contents must then be
disposed in an onshore toilet.
DECOMMISSIONING
In case of a planned extended absence on board, the bacterial strains will die off after a few weeks due to lack of
nutrition. Therefore, the system should be shut down. There are two options:
Under no circumstances must untreated faecal matter be discharged near
land, ports, marinas or rivers or into restricted zones. In some countries,
severe penalties are imposed for unauthorised discharges.
An absence of up to 4 weeks does not harm the bacteria, simply leave the sys-
tem switched on. After the vacation, perform a normal weekly maintenance
procedure and add a bag of bacteria through your toilet.
