shall possess an IMO Type Approval Certificate for each incinerator. In order to obtain
such certificate, the incinerator shall be designed and built to an approved standard as
described in regulation 16.6.1. Each model shall be subject to a specified type approval
test operation at the factory or an approved test facility, and under the responsibility
of the Administration, using the following standard fuel/waste specification for the
type approval test for determining whether the incinerator operates within the limits
specified in paragraph 2 of this appendix:
Sludge Oil Consisting of:
|
75% sludge oil from heavy fuel oil
(HFO);
|
|
5% waste lubricating oil; and
