First set to operation Before putting into operation for the first time check that: All connecting pipes and flanges specially on the suction side, are completely tight
Significant features: DVZ - JET WASH oil drainage Self-cleaning with sea water using a reversible pump Automatic electrode cleaning DBGM 8404946 Utilization of the adhesion tendency of oil to aid separation
Principle The rising velocity of the globules carries them upwards where they become trapped by the under-surfaces of the plates and coalesce until the enlarged globules have sufficient rising velocity to travel along the plate surface and break away at the periphery
Learning Objectives When you have completed this section, you should be familiar with: Pre-bunkering checking. Guidelines for bunkering of fuels. Health precautions
Oil fuel transfer arrangements provide for receiving stations at an upper deck level, port and starboard, furnished with valves, elbows, pressure gauges, filters and relief valves
There are branch pipes to the separators and occasionally to the settling tanks (blanked). Other branch pipes lead to the deck filling lines (also blanked) so that the oil can be discharged ashore
