As operational costs rise and environmental regulations grow stricter, shipowners and shipbuilders must make smarter decisions. Marine incinerators play a key role in improving efficiency and meeting environmental standards. Atlas, part of G&O Maritime Group, offers incinerators, such as the X10 TITAN, that go beyond basic waste management. These systems help shipowners save money over time and reduce their environmental impact.

Atlas Incinerators are designed for shipowners who prioritise sustainability and total cost of ownership (TCO), offering systems that are both efficient and cost-effective in the long run.

One of the biggest advantages of Atlas Incinerators is their ability to help shipowners save on fuel costs. The X10 TITAN incinerator, Atlas’ flagship model, doesn’t require external pre-heating of sludge oil, saving approximately $2,600 annually. Additionally, its efficient start-up process reduces diesel oil consumption, saving a further $4,000 per year.

Operational savings through fuel efficiency

The X10 TITAN‘s design eliminates the need for pre-heating sludge oil and minimises diesel consumption, resulting in significant yearly savings for shipowners. These savings are often overlooked, as shipbuilders’ focus tends to be on the initial cost of equipment, explains Lars M. Lund-Jacobsen, Head of Sales at Atlas Incinerators.

Simplifying the installation process

Atlas Incinerators are also easier to install compared to other systems. The X10 TITAN uses just one tank, simplifying and reducing the cost of installation.

“The installation process for the X10 TITAN is simpler and cheaper. By removing the need for a flue gas fan, settling tank, and steam connections, we’ve reduced the complexity and cost of installation, saving shipbuilders both time and money,” adds Lars M. Lund-Jacobsen.

This streamlined design allows shipbuilders to save approximately $8,000 in installation costs compared to traditional systems. It also shortens installation time, helping projects stay on schedule and within budget.

Targeting environmentally conscious shipowners

Atlas Incinerators are ideal for shipowners who prioritise environmental responsibility. The X10 TITAN model can burn oil sludge with up to 50% water content, reducing NOx emissions without the need for additional fuel. This makes it one of the most environmentally friendly incinerators on the market.

Its unique three-chamber design ensures that gases constantly change direction inside the combustion chambers, increasing retention time before leaving the incinerator. This results in a more efficient combustion process compared to traditional single-chamber incinerators.

Furthermore, eliminating the need for electrical heating coils to pre-heat oil sludge before incineration reduces power consumption and saves approximately 4.5 tonnes of fuel when processing sludge with 50% water content. In addition to its environmental benefits, the system is highly efficient. It can process 100% of oil sludge and approximately 95% of garbage, reducing reliance on port operations.

A reliable choice for the future

In many regions, having a reliable incinerator is critical. For instance, some countries only allow vessels with fully functioning incinerators, a trend that is becoming increasingly global. With environmental regulations becoming more stringent worldwide, shipowners need equipment that not only meets current standards but is also prepared for future changes.

While cheaper alternatives exist, Atlas systems offer long-term value. High-quality, durable equipment, coupled with Atlas Incinerators’ extensive service hub network and fast after-sales response time, ensures minimal risk of off-hire. Furthermore, our systems help shipowners save money on fuel, reduce maintenance needs, and mitigate environmental risks. For shipowners aiming to control costs while keeping their vessels efficient and compliant, Atlas Incinerators represent a sound investment that pays off in the long run.
