🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex VI, Regulation 16 – requirements for shipboard incinerators • Difference between batch-type and continuous-feed incinerators • Typical combustion temperatures needed to fully destroy shipboard waste and limit toxic emissions

💭 Think About

• Convert the Fahrenheit options to degrees Celsius so you can compare all choices on the same scale. • Think about what temperature range is normally required for complete combustion and destruction of dioxins and other harmful compounds in incinerators. • Ask yourself whether a lower or higher flue gas outlet temperature would better ensure cleaner exhaust and compliance with air pollution rules.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which specific minimum temperature MARPOL Annex VI Regulation 16 sets for continuous-feed incinerators (not batch type). • Check that you are using the correct unit (°C vs °F) from the regulation text, then match it to the closest answer choice. • Confirm that the temperature you choose is high enough to ensure effective incineration and low toxic emissions, as intended by Annex VI.
