A Training on HFO

(Heavy Fuel Oil) Bunker

Handling & Safety
How HFO & Lubricants Produce

► Oil Refineries

A refinery is a factory which takes a raw material

(crude oil) and transforms it into petrol and hundreds
of other useful products

All refineries perform three basic steps:

•Separation (fractional distillation)
•Conversion (cracking and rearranging the molecules)

•Treatment
“Heavy Fuel Oil : what do we know
? what do we still ignore ?
which possible responses ?
Crude Oil: Petroleumis a naturally occurring, flammable liquid found in rock formations in the
Earth consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights, plus other
organic compounds. The proportion of hydrocarbons in the mixture is highly variable and
ranges from as much as 97% by weight in the lighter oils to as little as 50% in the heavier oils
and bitumens. The hydrocarbons in crude oil are mostly alkanes, cycloalkanes and various
aromatic hydrocarbons while the other organic compounds contain nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur,
and trace amounts of metals such as iron, nickel, copper and vanadium.

HFO: Heavy Fuel oil is a fraction obtained from petroleum distillation, either as a distillate or a residue.
Broadly speaking, fuel oil is any liquid petroleum product that is burned in a furnace or boiler for the
generation of heat or used in an engine for the generation of power. Fuel oil is made of long hydrocarbon
chains, particularly alkanes, cycloalkanes and aromatics.
 BUNKER RECEIVE
Bunker Receive: Receiving of FUEL from another Barge

Things to do for Bunker

Plan about whole Bunkering Procedure
Inform to the Respective Departments
Check & Fill up the Pre bunker Checklist by TS Department
Check & Fill Up the Pre bunker Checklist by Operations Department
 HFO STORAGE
Five Storage Tanks
Tank Capacity (M3)
 PAB 901 - 667.72
 PAB 902 - 667.78
Things ..
 PAB 903 - 667.79
 PAB 904 - 667.74 Always to keep in mind during Bunker
 PAB 905 - 667.74  List of the Barge (Usually maintained in
TWO Day Tanks shore side)
Tank Capacity (M3)  Trim of the Barge (Usually maintained in
 PBC 901- 667.78 Workshop side)
 PAB 902- 667.78
 Planning For Bunker
► Identify the empty storage tanks
► Select the Storage tanks for Bunker
 Inform to the Respective
Departments
Usually pass through email
To facilitate the bunkering, please ensure the followings:

► a) Barge list to be maintained accordingly

► b) Heating valves of the above storage tanks to be kept shut
► c) Uninterrupted Instrument air pressure to be assured for the bunker
filling valves
► d) HFO purifier operation to be kept stopped during bunker
► e) No Concentrated sludge transfer from the Interceptor tank
► f) No Hot Work in the vicinity of the bunker manifold.
► g) Scaffolding’s extended portion, if there is any, at the river side to be
removed if it will obstruct the vessel’s berthing

 Pressure & Flow maintain during
bunker
Pressure – 0 - 6.5 bar
Flow Rate - 0-200 ton/hr

Note: pressure gradually increases from 0 to

up to 6.5 bar & accordingly flow increases.
From starting to finishing every time pressure
& flow being monitored.

 In case of Oil Spillage
Immediate Action need to take
► Stop the transfer pump of the tanker &
inform HC1 Control room.

► Then Take actions accordingly depending on

the spillage( example- Use Absorbent pad,
Maxi clan 2 chemical etc.. to remove the oil
from river water )
