摘要：	When Scienco/FAST says its water treatment systems are meant to last, the company is talking in decades. The average product life for a FAST marine system is 30 years, said Bob Millerbaugh, Scienco/FAST executive vice president-sales and marketing. The company, founded as a part of St. Louis Shipbuilding-former owner of the Federal Barge Line-in St. Louis, was the first to manufacture marine sanitation devices (MSDs) back in the late 1960s. By 1969, the first prototype FAST- standing for Fixed Activated Sewage Treatment-system was installed on a towboat, the mv. Missouri, while the vessel was underway. MSDs were the solution to a very big problem in those days. The Environmental Protection Agency was getting complaints from citizens about cruise ships and cargo ships that would pull into ports and dump their sewage, which would wash ashore. The United States was considering the Clean Water Act, and it contacted the U.S. Coast Guard to ask about a sewage treatment solution that would work on the nation's waterways.
