Biosorber – an integral 400 m3 reinforced-concrete tank with absorbent carbon, filtering rubble
layer, disperse air diffusers with air distribution system (pipeline), sewage supply and discharge
pipelines and absorber wash system. In total there are 4 biosorbers. At present 2 biosorbers are operated,
other 2 are in reserve.
Each biosorber includes:
- water collection drainage system and discharge pipe are installed from plastic pipes on the
bottom;
- whole drainage pipeline is filled with rubble and gravel (1.3 m) layer (fraction – from 40 to 1
mm). The layer filters treated sewage;
- compressed air supply pipeline with 120 pcs. disperse air diffusers is installed on gravel layer.
Maximum capacity of each diffuser – 5m3/h, maximum amount of air supplied to biosorber diffusers is
600 m3/h. Actual consumed air amount ~ 350 m3/h;
- compressed air supply pipeline with air diffusers is filled with 0.5 m layer of absorbent
carbon. Absorbent carbon absorbs pollutants contained in sewage. When biosorber is emptied, it is like
filtering material, which restrains activated sludge contained in sewage. During aeration granular
activated carbon floats away from activated sludge, and absorbed oil products split on activated carbon
by splitting microorganisms. This is how absorbability of activated carbon is restored;
- four trays are installed at the distance of 2.35 m from biosorber bottom. They are used for
discharge of excess sludge to water wash settling vessel and then arrive to biosorber, where the sewage
is treated and regularly distributed;
- sewage acceptance and distribution, water wash discharge reinforced-concrete balconies.
3 air blowers are installed. Two air blowers have regulators of electric motor rotations, which
help to regulate their capacity from 350 to 600 m3/h. Other air blower has no such regulator. After
switching on it operates at full capacity.

- saturated steam: amount – 3 t/h; pressure – 10 bar; temperature – 183 0C;
- returned condensation water: amount – 0.3 t/h; pressure – 0.5 bar; temperature – 90 0C.
Description of waste utilization or disposal process technology scheme and course.
Sewage treatment process is divided into two stages:
a) primary sewage treatment;
b) mechanical sewage treatment;
9
c) biological sewage treatment.
Description of primary sewage treatment process technology
Capacity of primary sewage treatment facility– 100 m3/h.
1. In acceptance and distribution basin sewage flows through rough treatment grating (here
coarse garbage, cloths, wood pieces, leafs, etc.);
2. From the basin sewage is directed to oil product collection and sludge settling basins using
manual method – lifting wooden inlet flaps;
2. When the sewage enters basins it loses moving speed, so oil products rise at the surface (lighter
than water), and mechanical impurities and oil products (heavier than water) settle on the basin
bottom;
4. Mechanical scrapers are installed in each basin. The scrapers are plates vertically installed
on moving chains, which, when the chains move, push the upper layer of oil products to oil product
collection tray, and the waste settled on the bottom is pushed to sludge collection pits located at the
beginning of basin. The waste is regularly pumped out from the pits by sludge pumping machine.
Sediments are transported to solid waste soil treatment facility, where they are additionally treated.
Treated sediments are transported to VšĮ “Grunto valymo technologijos” for final treatment;
5. While treating sewage in the selected basin the scrappers shall always operate;
6. At the basin end there is oil product collection tray. Each treatment basin is equipped with
such a tray;
7. Oil product discharge pipe is installed in oil product collection trays. Via this pipe oil products
by natural flow are transferred to the basin for collected oil products;
8. When the oil product basin is full, treatment facility operator (after agreement of shift
engineer) pups the oil products to oil product tank located in handling workshop;
9. Treated sewage basins are equipped with drowned centrifugal pumps. With the help of these
pumps the sewage is pumped through pipelines to sewage buffer tank located in the treatment facility.
Description of mechanical sewage treatment process technology
1. Acceptance of sewage to buffer tanks.
The buffer tanks collect rain and drainage water from the company territory, rainwater runoffs
from dark and light oil product tank parks, discharge jetty, quays No. 1, 2, ballast and used ship hold
water from moored ships.
2. Sewage discharge for treatment and treatment
2.1. When chemical engineer determines that oil product content in sewage in buffer tank does
not exceed < 10 mg/l, he gives an oral permit to an operator to begin sewage discharge for mechanical
treatment.
10
2.2. Sewage discharge from buffer tanks cannot exceed 300 m3/h or 150 m3/h to one water
treatment section.
2.3. While working with two treatment sections sewage level in TPF section basin shall be
uniform;
2.4. The amount of sewage discharged from the tanks is regulated by an operator. This can be
done:
manually (regulating manual discharge flap),
automatically (by setting in computer desired discharge flow),
manually-automatically,
emergency (without treatment).
In case of automatic treatment mode manual control is used only in case of equipment failure or
other unforeseen cases, after receiving of permit from treatment facility manager.
2.5. After determining of sewage discharge line and selecting gate valve control mechanical
sewage treatment part is initiated. The mechanisms are connected to electric control cabinet located
nearby mechanical treatment part facility.
2.6. Floatation pumps are operated in automatic control mode.
2.7. Pumps for pumping of treated sewage to biological treatment facility are operated in
automatic control mode only.
2.8. Collected (polluted with oil products) skimming is pumped to oil product collection tanks.
The pump is operated in automatic control mode.
2.9. Sewage treated using floatators is collected in treated sewage tanks and then pumped to
biosorber operating in biological treatment facility.
3. Collection of oil products
3.1. Oil products are collected from treatment buffer tanks, basins of mechanical treatment part
and can be accepted from tank trucks. Oil products are collected by an operator or machinist.
3.2. Collection of oil products from sections of mechanical treatment part basins. Layer of oil
products settled in a basin after opening of flaps is discharged by collection pipes to the basin for
collection of oil products. After opening of filling flaps of oil products collection tanks the mixture of oil
products is pumped to oil product collection tanks.
3.3. Oil products from basins are periodically collected manually by treatment facility operator
depending on the layer of oil products accumulated in the basin. The layer recommended to be collected
– more than 3 cm of oil products.
3.4. During sewage treatment the layer of foam from oil products accumulated on the surface is
skimmed to oil products collection basin and then pumped to the selected oil products collection tank.
Skimmers operate frequently in automatic control mode after initiation of mechanical treatment section
(the first or second).
11
3.5. Collection of oil products from buffer tanks to other tanks can be performed as follows:
- through pump house for collection of oil products;
-by tank treatment pump;
- by transferring from floating oil product collection pipes installed in the tanks.
If during collection of oil products electric current fails, an operator shall immediately close the
gate valve. If the gate valve is open, the pump house will be overfilled, and the territory can be flooded
with oil products. When the pump house equipment is controlled manually from the place, an operator
or machinist shall always be near the pump house to monitor and control operation of its mechanisms.
3.6. Collection of oil products by drainage pumps of buffer tanks. This method is used for
collection of oil products settled on the tank bottom, when cleaning of any buffer tank is performed.
An operator shall always monitor tank filling level, so that it would not be overfilled, as the
capacity of pump is 120 m3/h, and the pump is not automatically switched off when the tank is filled up.
3.7. Collection of flowing oil products through floating collection pipes using difference of
filling levels of oil product tanks, collecting oil products from the tank.
An operator shall always monitor tank filling level, so that it would not be overfilled, as in case
of more liquid oil products the tank is filled up quickly.
4. Return of oil products to handling workshop
Oil products collected in treatment facility and treated from water (water residual <10  ) are
returned to handling workshop tanks by pumps.
Description of biological sewage treatment process technology
Operation principle of biological sewage treatment facility is based on biosorbtion processes,
which occur in the main part of treatment facility – biosorber. Totally there are 4 biosorbers, their
general sewage treatment capacity– 160 m3/h. At present due to less sewage flow two biosorbers are
operated.
Operation of biosorbers is frequent, i.e. when one biosorber is filled, aerated and treatment is in
process, in other biosorber sewage is settled and then discharged to the Curonian Lagoon.
1. Sewage pumping to biological treatment facility
1.1. Sewage is pumped to biological treatment facility from mechanical treatment facility and
domestic sewage pump houses.
1.2. Sewage is pumped from mechanical treatment facility by pumps.
1.3. To domestic sewage pump house the sewage is collected from treatment facility building
and guard post No. 4. In technological well installed near the pump house check valve and manual
shutoff valve is installed on each pump pipe. These shutoff valves are always open. They are closed
during pump repair only.
1.4. Sewage pumping from domestic sewage pump house. To this pump house the sewage is
collected from the company and UAB „Krovinių terminalas“.In technological well installed near the
12
pump house check valve and manual shutoff valve is installed on each pump pipe. These shutoff valves
are always open. They are closed during pump repair only.
2. Sewage biological treatment process and its control
2.1. In biosorber sewage after mechanical treatment are treated and directly pumped domestic
sewage. The amount of domestic sewage shall not exceed 10 % from total sewage amount (i.e. when the
capacity of biological treatment facility is 40 m3/h, the amount of domestic sewage shall not exceed 4
m3/h).
2.2. Air blowers are used for sewage oxygenation, activation of activity microorganisms,
uniform distribution of activated carbon and microorganisms. Air blowers are controlled automatically
using computer.
2.3. Sewage is pumped to biosorber through water collection trays.
2.4. After filtration through carbon and rubble-gravel layer the treated sewage is collected to
drainage system and discharged to the Curonian Lagoon using discharge pipe;
2.5. Pollutants absorbed from sewage by granular activated carbon. When the biosorber is
emptied, this load also fulfills function of filtering filler; it restrains activated sludge and protects the
lower gravel layer against plugging. During aeration granular activated carbon floats away from
activated sludge, and absorbed oil products split on activated carbon by splitting microorganisms. This is
how absorbability of activated carbon is restored;
2.6. Operation of biosorbers is controlled from computer, manually and automatically. Operating
mode – automatic control, manual control is used during maintenance of repair only.
3. Sludge drainage.
3.1. After the sludge settled in was water settling tank, sludge drainage begins. By sludge pumps
the sludge is pumped to filter belt sludge press. After beginning of sludge pumping to filter belt sludge
press, polymer dosing pump is initiated and pumps polymer to sludge and polymer mixer installed
before filter belt sludge press. Polymer binds separated sludge flakes. Drained sludge can be used as
fertilizer.
Sludge treatment process technology.
Waste polluted with oil products are delivered to treatment facility in containers using loaders.
A crane transfers polluted waste from the containers to 50 m3 tank. The tank is filled with waste at 50 %.
Than the gate valve shall be opened and steam shall be supplied to steam ejector gate valves. During
washing firstly steam valve shall be opened. Through this valve steam is supplied to central steam
ejector of the bottom layer. Steam through the gate valves reaches one or two ejector of bottom layer.
Central ejector shall always operate. When the lower steam ejectors were initiated and gate valves were
opened the steam is supplied to higher layer steam ejectors. It is recommended to use one higher layer
ejector. When steam is supplied to the ejectors, direct waste heating, mixing and washing with steam
and water mixture begins. When steam enters ejectors, return condensation water is supplied too. If you
wish to inject condensation water, gate valve of central condensation water line shall be closed and
opened; the gate valve shall be closed. The waste shall be heated in the tank up to 90 0C. The
13
temperature is controlled according to the readings of thermometer installed in the tank. When the
temperature is 90 0C, it is necessary to close gate valves of steam ejectors. The central steam gate valve
shall be closed last. Washed off oil products accumulate at the surface of wash tank, hot condensation
water raises the tank level until it reaches overflow pipe, and oil products flow to the buffer tank. In this
tank oil products are accumulated. When the sewage flows through overflow pipe to drainage tray, the
condensation water supply vale shall be closed and other valve shall be opened. The accumulated oil
products are pumped through drainage valve and transported to the vessel. When the waste cooled to 40
0
C, it is repeatedly heated up to 90 0C. When the quality analysis is carried out by the laboratory the
treatment facility manager adopts decision regarding waste washing completion.
The waste is treated until the content of oil products reaches ≤ 80 g/kg of dry soil. The water
polluted with oil products is extracted from the tank and transported by aeration car to sewage treatment
facility.
Waste without oil products is unloaded from the tank to leak tight containers and transported to
VĮ “Grunto valymo technologijos” for further treatment.
Surface sewage from concreted sludge treatment site is also collected in drainage tray. From
the drainage tray the sewage is transferred to sewage network and then to sewage well. Then the sewage
is unloaded and transported by aeration car to sewage treatment facility.
Control and monitoring of waste utilization or disposal process technology.
Sewage treatment process:
Control and monitoring of primary sewage treatment process technology.
1. Each oil product collection tray is equipped with oil product heaters (heating by steam), which
can heat the collected oil products up to 55 0C. Steam supply to oil product heaters is regulated by a
machinist automatically or manually by steam valve.
2. Filling level of the basin for collected oil products is shown by level detector; its readings can
be seen on computer.
3. Temperature of the collected oil products is showed by temperature detector; its readings can
be seen in computer control system.
4. The basin for collected oil products is heated by steam heaters. Steam supply to oil product
heaters is regulated by a machinist automatically or manually by steam valve. Temperature of collected
oil products can be 30–55 Co.
5. Each basin is equipped with radar level meters, which show percentage of basin filling level
on the computer. 5 % – low (emergency) level, the pumps are automatically switched off.
Control and monitoring of mechanical sewage treatment process technology.
1. Sewage discharge from buffer tanks cannot exceed 300 m3/h or 150 m3/h for one section.
14
2. When two mechanical treatment sections operate, sewage level in basin of section-plate
separators shall be uniform.
3. Maximum permitted filling level of buffer tanks is 15.5 m, after reaching of this level an
operator closes sewage acceptance valves and opens acceptance valves of other (emptied) tank.
4. Buffer tanks are equipped with sewage steam heating pipelines. The sewage is heated up to
25–30 0C. Temperature is measured by the installed device, and on the computer actual sewage
temperature C0 can be seen.
5. For the purpose of regulation of sewage flows the mechanical treatment facility is equipped
with flow meters with regulating valves. They show and regulate flow of discharged sewage and total
amount of sewage discharged from the tank.
Emergency sewage discharge:
- sewage discharge from buffer tanks without mechanical and biological treatment;
- sewage can be discharged using emergency method after receipt of written order of
production manager and information of KRAAD by phone;
- before the discharge the laboratory shall carry out sewage analysis and determine content of
oil products, total nitrogen, total phosphor and settling solids;
- sewage discharge valves of tanks are opened. The sewage is discharged to “A” section basin,
then by natural flow it is transferred to treated sewage discharge pipe through count meter; The gate
valve is sealed by KRAAD inspector;
- maximum sewage discharge capacity– 300 m3/h. An operator registers in the facility
operation book the amount of discharged sewage;
- chemical engineer every our takes samples from discharge collector during sewage discharge
and determines content of residual oil products and settling solids;
- when the emergency sewage discharge is completed, KRAAD inspector is called to seal the
gate vale. The amount of sewage discharged by emergency methods is reported.
Control and monitoring of biological sewage treatment process technology.
1. Biological treatment facility sewage flow is 40–50 m3/h, the amount of domestic sewage shall
not exceed 10% of total sewage flow.
2. Treated sewage is calculated according to the meter readings, which is installed in sewage
discharge pipeline, before discharge collectors.
3. Each biosorber (in the room, at external wall) at 7.65 m level is equipped with emergency
level detectors. When the water level reaches the detector, filling valves are closed and blocked. If all
biosorbers are filled up, filling pumps are switched off and blocked. If the pumps in mechanical
treatment facility do not operate and sewage level reaches 44%, sewage discharge valves are closed and
blocked, mechanical sewage treatment part is switched off.
4. Each biosorber is equipped with filling level detectors, which show actual tank filling level on
computer.

The ships, through their agents, request for collection of waste. The waste is delivered in the
following ways, depending on the type and amount of waste:
o Cargo residues, such as ballast and tank wash water, are delivered directly to the operator
of oil terminals;
o Ship-generated waste is delivered by ship or collected by an operator.
Nominated operator of sanitary services is responsible for the actual reception quantity,
collection, sorting, treatment and disposal of ship-generated waste. Oil waste is treated in the
treatment plant owned by UAB “Klaipėdos keleivių ir krovinių terminalas”. Sewage is treated in
the municipal sewage treatment plant of Klaipeda city, and garbage (waste) is disposed to the
municipal landfill of Klaipeda city and other waste recycling sites. Oily rags are transported for
disposal to the incineration plant providing such service. Waste operator is also responsible for
cleaning of the water surface of the basin of the port.

parties follow the best practice related to environmental protection and use the best existing
technologies. If application of the best practice related to environmental protection and use the best
existing technologies, as it is described in Annex II, do not help to achieve acceptable results in
reduction of pollution in term of environmental protection, additional measures shall be taken.
The Convention parties apply “Polluter pays” principle.
The Convention parties ensure that discharges from concentrated pollution sources to water
and emissions to air and pollution emission from dispersed pollution sources to water and air
measurements and account would be carried out using scientific methods for the purpose of assessment
of the Baltic Sea Area marine environment conditions and create conditions for the Convention
implementation.
The Convention parties make all efforts to ensure that the Convention implementation would
not international pollution in areas located outside the Baltic Sea boundaries. Furthermore, proper
measures shall not cause inadmissible changes of air, water, black earth or underground water quality, or

- returned condensation water: amount – 0.3 t/h; pressure – 0.5 bar; temperature – 90 0C.
Description of waste utilization or disposal process technology scheme and course.
Sewage treatment process is divided into two stages:
a) primary sewage treatment;
b) mechanical sewage treatment;
c) biological sewage treatment.
Description of primary sewage treatment process technology
Capacity of primary sewage treatment facility– 100 m3/h.
1. In acceptance and distribution basin sewage flows through rough treatment grating (here
coarse garbage, cloths, wood pieces, leafs, etc.);
2. From the basin sewage is directed to oil product collection and sludge settling basins using
manual method – lifting wooden inlet flaps;
3. When the sewage enters basins it loses moving speed, so oil products rise at the surface (lighter
than water), and mechanical impurities and oil products (heavier than water) settle on the basin
bottom;
4. Mechanical scrapers are installed in each basin. The scrapers are plates vertically installed
on moving chains, which, when the chains move, push the upper layer of oil products to oil product
collection tray, and the waste settled on the bottom is pushed to sludge collection pits located at the
beginning of basin. The waste is regularly pumped out from the pits by sludge pumping machine.
Sediments are transported to solid waste soil treatment facility, where they are additionally treated.
Treated sediments are transported to VšĮ “Grunto valymo technologijos” for final treatment;
5. While treating sewage in the selected basin the scrappers shall always operate;
6. At the basin end there is oil product collection tray. Each treatment basin is equipped with
such a tray;
7. Oil product discharge pipe is installed in oil product collection trays. Via this pipe oil products
by natural flow are transferred to the basin for collected oil products;
8. When the oil product basin is full, treatment facility operator (after agreement of shift
engineer) pups the oil products to oil product tank located in handling workshop;
9. Treated sewage basins are equipped with drowned centrifugal pumps. With the help of these
pumps the sewage is pumped through pipelines to sewage buffer tank located in the treatment facility.
Description of mechanical sewage treatment process technology

1. Acceptance of sewage to buffer tanks.
The buffer tanks collect rain and drainage water from the company territory, rainwater runoffs
from dark and light oil product tank parks, discharge jetty, quays No. 1, 2, ballast and used ship hold
water from moored ships.
2. Sewage discharge for treatment and treatment
2.1. When chemical engineer determines that oil product content in sewage in buffer tank does
not exceed < 10 mg/l, he gives an oral permit to an operator to begin sewage discharge for mechanical
treatment.
2.2. Sewage discharge from buffer tanks cannot exceed 300 m3/h or 150 m3/h to one water
treatment section.
2.3. While working with two treatment sections sewage level in TPF section basin shall be
uniform;
2.4. The amount of sewage discharged from the tanks is regulated by an operator. This can be
done:
manually (regulating manual discharge flap),
automatically (by setting in computer desired discharge flow),
manually-automatically,
emergency (without treatment).
In case of automatic treatment mode manual control is used only in case of equipment failure or
other unforeseen cases, after receiving of permit from treatment facility manager.
2.5. After determining of sewage discharge line and selecting gate valve control mechanical
sewage treatment part is initiated. The mechanisms are connected to electric control cabinet located
nearby mechanical treatment part facility.
2.6. Floatation pumps are operated in automatic control mode.
2.7. Pumps for pumping of treated sewage to biological treatment facility are operated in
automatic control mode only.
2.8. Collected (polluted with oil products) skimmings are pumped to oil product collection tanks.
The pump is operated in automatic control mode.
2.9. Sewage treated using floatators is collected in treated sewage tanks and then pumped to
biosorber operating in biological treatment facility.
3. Collection of oil products
3.1. Oil products are collected from treatment buffer tanks, basins of mechanical treatment part
and can be accepted from tank trucks. Oil products are collected by an operator or machinist.
3.2. Collection of oil products from sections of mechanical treatment part basins. Layer of oil
products settled in a basin after opening of flaps is discharged by collection pipes to the basin for
collection of oil products. After opening of filling flaps of oil products collection tanks the mixture of oil
products is pumped to oil product collection tanks.
47
3.3. Oil products from basins are periodically collected manually by treatment facility operator
depending on the layer of oil products accumulated in the basin. The layer recommended to be collected
– more than 3 cm of oil products.
3.4. During sewage treatment the layer of foam from oil products accumulated on the surface is
skimmed to oil products collection basin and then pumped to the selected oil products collection tank.
Skimmers operate frequently in automatic control mode after initiation of mechanical treatment section
(the first or second).
3.5. Collection of oil products from buffer tanks to other tanks can be performed as follows:
- through pump house for collection of oil products;
-by tank treatment pump;
- by transferring from floating oil product collection pipes installed in the tanks.
If during collection of oil products electric current fails, an operator shall immediately close the
gate valve. If the gate valve is open, the pump house will be overfilled, and the territory can be flooded
with oil products. When the pump house equipment is controlled manually from the place, an operator
or machinist shall always be near the pump house to monitor and control operation of its mechanisms.
3.6. Collection of oil products by drainage pump of buffer tanks. This method is used for
collection of oil products settled on the tank bottom, when cleaning of any buffer tank is performed.
An operator shall always monitor tank filling level, so that it would not be overfilled, as the
capacity of pump is 120 m3/h, and the pump is not automatically switched off when the tank is filled up.
3.7. Collection of flowing oil products through floating collection pipes using difference of
filling levels of oil product tanks, collecting oil products from the tank.
An operator shall always monitor tank filling level, so that it would not be overfilled, as in case
of more liquid oil products the tank is filled up quickly.
4. Return of oil products to handling workshop
Oil products collected in treatment facility and treated from water (water residual <10  ) are
returned to handling workshop tanks by pumps.
Description of biological sewage treatment process technology
Operation principle of biological sewage treatment facility is based on biosorbtion processes,
which occur in the main part of treatment facility – biosorber. Totally there are 4 biosorbers, their
general sewage treatment capacity– 160 m3/h. At present due to less sewage flow two biosorbers are
operated.
Operation of biosorbers is frequent, i.e. when one biosorber is filled, aerated and treatment is in
process, in other biosorber sewage is settled and then discharged to the Curonian Lagoon.
1. Sewage pumping to biological treatment facility
1.1. Sewage is pumped to biological treatment facility from mechanical treatment facility and
domestic sewage pump houses.
48
1.2. Sewage is pumped from mechanical treatment facility by pumps.
1.3. To domestic sewage pump house the sewage is collected from treatment facility building
and guard post No. 4. In technological well installed near the pump house check valve and manual
shutoff valve is installed on each pump pipe. These shutoff valves are always open. They are closed
during pump repair only.
1.4. Sewage pumping from domestic sewage pump house. To this pump house the sewage is
collected from the company and UAB „Krovinių terminalas“.In technological well installed near the
pump house check valve and manual shutoff valve is installed on each pump pipe. These shutoff valves
are always open. They are closed during pump repair only.
2. Sewage biological treatment process and its control
2.1. In biosorber sewage after mechanical treatment are treated and directly pumped domestic
sewage. The amount of domestic sewage shall not exceed 10 % from total sewage amount (i.e. when the
capacity of biological treatment facility is 40 m3/h, the amount of domestic sewage shall not exceed 4
m3/h).
2.2. Air blowers are used for sewage oxygenation, activation of activity microorganisms,
uniform distribution of activated carbon and microorganisms. Air blowers are controlled automatically
using computer.
2.3. Sewage is pumped to biosorber through water collection trays.
2.4. After filtration through carbon and rubble-gravel layer the treated sewage is collected to
drainage system and discharged to the Curonian Lagoon using discharge pipe;
2.5. Pollutants absorbed from sewage by granular activated carbon. When the biosorber is
emptied, this load also fulfills function of filtering filler; it restrains activated sludge and protects the
lower gravel layer against plugging. During aeration granular activated carbon floats away from
activated sludge, and absorbed oil products split on activated carbon by splitting microorganisms. This is
how absorbability of activated carbon is restored;
2.6. Operation of biosorbers is controlled from computer, manually and automatically. Operating
mode – automatic control, manual control is used during maintenance of repair only.
3. Sludge drainage.
3.1. After the sludge settled in was water settling tank, sludge drainage begins. By sludge pumps
the sludge is pumped to filter belt sludge press. After beginning of sludge pumping to filter belt sludge
press, polymer dosing pump is initiated and pumps polymer to sludge and polymer mixer installed
before filter belt sludge press. Polymer binds separated sludge flakes. Drained sludge can be used as
fertilizer.
Sludge treatment process technology.
Waste polluted with oil products are delivered to treatment facility in containers using loaders.
A crane transfers polluted waste from the containers to 50 m3 tank. The tank is filled with waste at 50 %.
Than the gate valve shall be opened and steam shall be supplied to steam ejector gate valves. During
49
washing firstly steam valve shall be opened. Through this valve steam is supplied to central steam
ejector of the bottom layer. Steam through the gate valves reaches one or two ejector of bottom layer.
Central ejector shall always operate. When the lower steam ejectors were initiated and gate valves were
opened the steam is supplied to higher layer steam ejectors. It is recommended to use one higher layer
ejector. When steam is supplied to the ejectors, direct waste heating, mixing and washing with steam
and water mixture begins. When steam enters ejectors, return condensation water is supplied too. If you
wish to inject condensation water, gate valve of central condensation water line shall be closed and
opened; the gate valve shall be closed. The waste shall be heated in the tank up to 90 0C. The
temperature is controlled according to the readings of thermometer installed in the tank. When the
temperature is 90 0C, it is necessary to close gate valves of steam ejectors. The central steam gate valve
shall be closed last. Washed off oil products accumulate at the surface of wash tank, hot condensation
water raises the tank level until it reaches overflow pipe, and oil products flow to the buffer tank. In this
tank oil products are accumulated. When the sewage flows through overflow pipe to drainage tray, the
condensation water supply vale shall be closed and other valve shall be opened. The accumulated oil
products are pumped through drainage valve and transported to the vessel. When the waste cooled to 40
0
C, it is repeatedly heated up to 90 0C. When the quality analysis is carried out by the laboratory the
treatment facility manager adopts decision regarding waste washing completion.
The waste is treated until the content of oil products reaches ≤ 80 g/kg of dry soil. The water
polluted with oil products is extracted from the tank and transported by aeration car to sewage treatment
facility.
Waste without oil products is unloaded from the tank to leak tight containers and transported to
VĮ “Grunto valymo technologijos” for further treatment.
Surface sewage from concreted sludge treatment site is also collected in drainage tray. From
the drainage tray the sewage is transferred to sewage network and then to sewage well. Then the sewage
is unloaded and transported by aeration car to sewage treatment facility.
Control and monitoring of waste utilization or disposal process technology.

2. When two mechanical treatment sections operate, sewage level in basin of section-plate
separators shall be uniform.
3. Maximum permitted filling level of buffer tanks is 15.5 m, after reaching of this level an
operator closes sewage acceptance valves and opens acceptance valves of other (emptied) tank.
4. Buffer tanks are equipped with sewage steam heating pipelines. The sewage is heated up to
25–30 0C. Temperature is measured by the installed device, and on the computer actual sewage
temperature C0 can be seen.
5. For the purpose of regulation of sewage flows the mechanical treatment facility is equipped
with flow meters with regulating valves. They show and regulate flow of discharged sewage and total
amount of sewage discharged from the tank.
Emergency sewage discharge:
- sewage discharge from buffer tanks without mechanical and biological treatment;
- sewage can be discharged using emergency method after receipt of written order of
production manager and information of KRAAD by phone;
- before the discharge the laboratory shall carry out sewage analysis and determine content of
oil products, total nitrogen, total phosphor and settling solids;
- sewage discharge valves of tanks are opened. The sewage is discharged to “A” section basin,
then by natural flow it is transferred to treated sewage discharge pipe through count meter; The gate
valve is sealed by KRAAD inspector;
- maximum sewage discharge capacity– 300 m3/h. An operator registers in the facility
operation book the amount of discharged sewage;
- chemical engineer every our takes samples from discharge collector during sewage discharge
and determines content of residual oil products and settling solids;
- when the emergency sewage discharge is completed, KRAAD inspector is called to seal the
gate vale. The amount of sewage discharged by emergency methods is reported.
Control and monitoring of biological sewage treatment process technology.
1. Biological treatment facility sewage flow is 40–50 m3/h, the amount of domestic sewage shall
not exceed 10% of total sewage flow.
51
2. Treated sewage is calculated according to the meter readings, which is installed in sewage
discharge pipeline, before discharge collectors.
3. Each biosorber (in the room, at external wall) at 7.65 m level is equipped with emergency
level detectors. When the water level reaches the detector, filling valves are closed and blocked. If all
biosorbers are filled up, filling pumps are switched off and blocked. If the pumps in mechanical
treatment facility do not operate and sewage level reaches 44%, sewage discharge valves are closed and
blocked, mechanical sewage treatment part is switched off.
4. Each biosorber is equipped with filling level detectors, which show actual tank filling level on

55
3. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL PORT
USERS
3.1. Reference to proper delivery of ship generated waste and cargo residues.
In 1997 Seimas adopted the Law on Protection of Maritime Environment. This law provides
for obligation of any natural persons and legal entities to undertake all measures necessary for the
prevention of pollution of maritime environment and protection of the Baltic Sea against harmful impact
of human activities. The Ministry of Environment (through regional environmental protection
departments) must control implementation of preventive and protective measures, by issuing permits for
use of natural resources.
This law also obliges the ships sailing under the flag of Lithuania, or registered in Lithuania, to
observe the requirements of MARPOL 73/78 and Helsinki Convention. Discharge of oil and garbage
(waste) from ships into the see in the territorial water of Lithuania is forbidden.
The Law on Protection of Maritime Environment obliges the KSSA, the operators of oil
terminals and terminals of other noxious substances, shipyards and other port companies to ensure
possession and usage of adequate equipment for reception, storage and treatment of ship-generated oil
residues, other liquid and solid noxious substances, sewage and garbage (waste), causing no
unreasonable delays and restrictions. Connecting pipe elements for re-pumping of oil and sewage, also
connecting elements of ship discharge pipelines shall be standardized according to MARPOL 73/78
requirements.
According the law on the Klaipeda State Seaport, collection of the port dues is the
responsibility of Klaipeda State Seaport Authority. In the Regulations on Application of Klaipeda State
Seaport Dues, signed by the Minister of Transport and Communications in June 2002, effective
conditions and tariffs of the dues are established. Each ship, which calls to the port of Klaipeda, shall pay
sanitary dues. These sanitary dues comprise two stages: (i) collection, and (ii) treatment of all
operational waste (which accumulated from departure from the last port of call to arrival to the port of
Klaipeda, and during the ship’s stay at the port), except for ballast water, to which a special tariff is
applied. Other operational waste is received according to special tariffs, specified in these regulations.
Assurance and control of compliance with laws and regulations.
The Port Supervision Department, which is within the Harbor Master’s service (Klaipeda State
Seaport Authority) shall control how the ships comply with the waste management requirements
according to national legislation, IMO, MARPOL, HELCOM and other international treaties.
The Port Dispatcher Officer organizes registration of all data related to the logistics of ships
(during the stay of these ships at the port of Klaipeda).
56
The Maritime Environment Protection Agency of the Klaipeda Regional Environmental
Protection Department is responsible for the control of observation of environmental requirements of the
ships calling to the port of Klaipeda, related to the control of the ships’ flag and port state.
The ship is not allowed to leave the port, if the ship has not released ship-generated waste. The
fact of delivery is confirmed by issuing a special receipt (see Annex 3). The Port Supervision
Department is responsible for the control of the ship-generated waste delivery.

3.7. Description of procedures for waste delivery
-
-
-
The ships, through their agents, request for collection of waste. The waste is delivered in the
following ways, depending on the type and amount of waste:
o Cargo residues, such as ballast and tank wash water, are delivered directly to the operator
of oil terminals;
o Ship-generated waste is delivered by ship or collected by an operator.
Nominated operator of sanitary services is responsible for the actual reception quantity,
collection, sorting, treatment and disposal of ship-generated waste. Oil waste is treated in the
treatment plant owned by UAB “Klaipėdos keleivių ir krovinių terminalas”. Sewage is treated in
the municipal sewage treatment plant of Klaipeda city, and garbage (waste) is disposed to the
municipal landfill of Klaipeda city and other waste recycling sites. Oily rags are transported for
disposal to the incineration plant providing such service. Waste operator is also responsible for
cleaning of the water surface of the basin of the port.
The ship’s agent is a central chain, which receives/submits all ship’s documents;
Information about ship-generated waste shall be submitted 24 hours prior to the ship’s arrival to
the dispatcher’s office of the port. If the port of call is unknown or sailing time to the ports of the
Republic of Lithuania from other ports is shorter than 24 hours, such notice shall be sent to the
dispatcher’s office of the port immediately after the port of call becomes known or immediately
following departure from any other port. For this purpose a standard form shall be used (see
Annex 1), submitted by the agent to the port dispatcher’s office. In the event when the
dispatcher’s office receives information about a ship’s arrival to the port for quarantine or about
the hazardous cargo residues on board of a ship, such information shall be passed on to the
Regional Environmental Protection Department and the Public Health Centre of the county;
62
Upon arrival of a ship, the ship’s agent shall produce a certificate on the waste removal at the last
port of call, and upon departure of a ship – certificate on the waste removal at the port of
Klaipeda;
- The ship’s agent shall submit an application for collection of waste to the port dispatcher’s office
(see Annex 2);
- The port surveillance service dispatcher-coordinator inspects the waste generated by the ship
between the departure of the ship from the previous port and arrival to Klaipeda port. Then he
issues the order to the waste operator to collect the waste;
- Waste operator shall issue a receipt of waste collection (see Annex 3), which confirms the fact of
waste delivery. One copy of this receipt shall kept on the ship, which delivered waste, the second
shall be sent to the port dispatcher’s office, and the third shall be kept by the operator;
- The KSSA shall issue an invoice to the ship for payment of sanitary dues;
- The waste operator shall produce to the Port Authority a summary report on the performed work,
containing information on actual collection of waste, and a certificate of delivery and acceptance
of services ;
- Following agreement on the amount of waste with the port dispatcher’s office, the waste operator
shall issue an invoice for payment of services to KSSA;
- If a ship stayed for repair, the ship’s agent shall produce a note on the amount of waste generated
during repair works according to the type and available storage capacity to the Port Supervision
Department;
- Upon departure of a ship, the shipmaster, through an agent, shall submit a certificate of the waste
removed at the port to the port supervising inspector on duty. The supervising inspector on duty
shall collate the information of the certificate produced so with the data on waste provided upon
arrival of a ship;
- If there are any cargo residues on board a ship, such residues shall be delivered directly to the
terminal or to the stevedoring company, which takes care of registration, ordering and invoicing
related to this waste.
Information specified in this receipt (see Annex 3) shall be filled in the registers of oil, sewage
and garbage.
- The dispatcher shall inform Lithuanian Administration of Navigation Safety via e-mail
msa@msa.lt, on working days, and the inspector on duty of the Lithuanian Administration of Navigation
Safety on weekend and holidays if the vessel fails to provide information which shall be reported prior
the arrival to the Klaipeda seaport in accordance with the 9 July 2003 Order No. 3-414/346 „Re
Approval of the Policy for the Procedures of Management of Ship-generated Waste and Cargo
Residues” of the Ministers of Transport and Communications and Environment of the Republic of
