Here is another view on the system (from a competitor, it seems :-)

A former competitor whose Type I MSD--the SeaLand SanX, which requires
the use of a formaldehyde based chemical, and barely treats to legal
standards was finally discontinued a couple of years ago. It's not just
the Lectra/San he lobbies against...it's the use of ANY treatment
device. Because the SeaLand device is the most environmentally
UNfriendly any Type I treatment device could be, he became a committed
advocate of universal "no discharge" in an effort defeat pending new
legislation that would have reduced the allowable bacteria count in the
discharge from treatment devices from it's current level of 1,000/100 ml
to 10/100 ml (which the SeaLand device could not come close to meeting,
but the Lectra/San does) and allowed the discharge of treated waste from
devices that met the new standard in all coastal waters including those
designated "no discharge." McKiernan was determined to defeat it rather
than risk losing sales of holding tanks to competitors' treatment devices.
