The Los Angeles Metropolitan Section conducted its second meet- ing of the season on November 8, 1973, at the Princess Louise Ship Restaurant, which is located in the Port of Los Angeles. The meeting, which was pre- ceded 'by a cocktaiil hour and din- ner, was stimulating and well at- tended. A very interesting technical pa- per was presented by Dr. W.M. Fassell of the Barber Coleman Company. The paper was entitled "Pure tec System for Treatment of Shipboard Waste," and was au- thored by Dr. Fassell and D.W. Bridges. The paper discussed the national objective of cleaning up our envi- ronment, specifically as it pertains to the curtailment or elimination of human waste discharge into the navigable waters of the United States. Dr. Fassell discussed in de- tail a process developed by Barber Coleman Company, known as "Closed Circuit Wet Oxidation." Wet oxidation is a term used to describe a chemical reaction occur- ring in water between oxygen and suspended or dissolved combusti- ble matter. The water temperature must be well above normal boiling point, and for this reason wet oxi- dation is conducted in an autoclave where the water, steam and oxygen are pressurized. Wet oxidation seems uniquely applicable for the on-board processing of marine sani- tary waste. 1951, with first class honors as a naval architect.
