70% to passIn accordance with the international MARPOL Annex VI regulations, what is the minimum allowable flue gas outlet temperature for a continuous-fed shipboard incinerator while in operation?
A450oC
B650oF
C850oF
D1050oF
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 850°F. According to the MARPOL Annex VI regulations, the minimum allowable flue gas outlet temperature for a continuous-fed shipboard incinerator while in operation is 850°F (450°C). This temperature requirement helps ensure complete combustion of the waste and minimizes the release of harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. The other options are incorrect because 450°C is too low, while 650°F and 1050°F are outside the specified temperature range in the MARPOL Annex VI regulations for shipboard incinerators.
