Designation:F2363/F2363M12An American National StandardStandard Specification forSewage and Graywater Flow Through Treatment Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2363/F2363M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONShipboard treatment of wastewater has evolved over the years from systems using maceration andchlorination techniques to more advanced biological systems that are designed to treat a singlewastestream of sewage followed more recently by complex bio-reactor systems employing advancedoxidation and high-powered UV systems that are designed to remove organic and inorganic materialsfrom a combined wastestream of sewage and graywater.Advancements in treatment technologies have been fueled,in part,by shipping companies wantingto adopt more environmentally friendly practices as well as by regulatory bodies imposing morestringent standards on wastewater discharges from ships.This standard is a consolidated source of sewage and graywater treatment system requirements thatcombines international requirements in MARPOL Annex IV with requirements of other regulatorybodies and overlays industry best practices.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the design,manufacture,performance,operation,and testing of flow through treatmentsystems intended to process sewage or graywater,or both,generated during a ships normal service.This specification isintended for use by designers,manufacturers,purchasers,andoperators of shipboard environmental pollution control equip-ment to determine the requirements for equipment design,manufacture,purchase,and in-service operation.1.2 The treatment system shall be capable of meeting theeffluent requirements detailed in Section 4 with respect to aships operational area.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A307 Specification for Carbon Steel Bolts,Studs,andThreaded Rod 60 000 PSI Tensile StrengthA563 Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel NutsB117 Practice for Operating Salt Spray(Fog)ApparatusB165 Specification for Nickel-Copper Alloy(UNS N04400)Seamless Pipe and TubeD1253 Test Method for Residual Chlorine in WaterE11 Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and TestSievesF906 Specification for Letters and Numerals for ShipsF992 Specification for Valve Label PlatesF993 Specification for Valve Locking DevicesF998 Specification for Centrifugal Pump,Shipboard UseF1030 Practice for Selection of Valve OperatorsF1098 Specification for Envelope Dimensions for ButterflyValvesNPS 2 to 24F1122 Specification for Quick Disconnect Couplings(6 in.NPS and Smaller)F1155 Practice for Selection and Application of PipingSystem MaterialsF1166 Practice for Human Engineering Design for MarineSystems,Equipment,and FacilitiesF1298 Specification for Flexible,Expansion-Type Ball1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F25 on Shipsand Marine Technology and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F25.06 onMarine Environmental Protection.Current edition approved May 1,2012.Published June 2012.Originallyapproved in 2004.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as F2363-06.DOI:10.1520/F2363_F2363M-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Joints for Marine ApplicationsF1323 Specification for Shipboard IncineratorsF1387 Specification for Performance of Piping and TubingMechanically Attached FittingsF1510 Specification for Rotary Positive DisplacementPumps,Ships UseF1511 Specification for Mechanical Seals for ShipboardPump ApplicationsF2044 Specification for Liquid Level Indicating Equipment,Electrical2.2 ASME Standards:3B16.1 Gray iron pipe flanges and flanged fittings:Classes25,125,and 250B16.5 Pipe flanges and flanged fittings:NPS12through NPS24 metric/inch standardB16.11 Forged fittings,socket-welding and threadedB16.24 Cast copper alloy pipe flanges and flanged fittings:Classes 150,300,600,900,1500,and 2500B16.34
