BOILER WATER ANALYSIS

1. PURPOSE OF WATER TREATMENT

The purpose of water treatment is to avoid damage boiler, pipes and equipment peripheral
to boiler. That also increase efficient of boiler.
These failures damage boiler include scales, adhesion, corrosion, carry-over.

2. SAMPLING WATER FOR ANALYSIS

Do not forget wearing protective gloves before sampling boiler water.


Open and close salinity valve slowly.
Flash outlet piping of salinity vale before sampling water. Impurities in piping may prevent
accurate analysis of water quality.

TESTING VALUE

Tell me the reasons causes high chloride for boiler water. And what should you do if chloride
is too high?

Chloride ion in boiler water will be formed hydrochloride acid (HCl) and concentrated solids.
They are causes corrosion.
Specific gravity of chloride ion is lighter than water. It is floated on surface of boiler water.
Concentrated solids of chloride are heavy more than water. They are settled on bottom of
boiler water.
When chloride ion is determined too high in boiler water. That may be:
- Salt chlorides (MgCl2, CaCl2, NaCl…) fall off into inspection tank, cascade tank.
- Sea water is spilled into inspection tank or cascade tank when cleaning of the
condenser.
- Sea water is leaked to condensate water from condenser water tubes or plates.
- Sea water is leaked to distillate water tank (feed water) from Fresh water generator
or from main hole, air vent pipe of distillate water tank.
- Feed water is contained chloride ion.
When chloride ion in boiler water is too high:
- Drain all out condensate water from inspection tank and cascade tank.
- Renew by distillate water.
- Carry out blow off surface and blow down bottom of boiler water.
- Re-test chloride ion for boiler water and making sure chloride ion value is less than 60
ppm.
- If it is high too:
- Check condition of the condenser, there is broken of water tubes or plates.
- Check condition of feed water by testing chloride contained in distillate water tank.
- Check feed water system, there is leaked sea water into system causes by open valve
incorrectly.
- Check condition of fresh water generator for leakage.

SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLAN

Working principle of sewage treatment plan is utilizing a biological film with packing medias.
Packing media are placed in the tank and liquid sewage is circulated around it by means of
aeration. The sewage contacts the biological film causing growth of bacteria on the surface
of packing medias and organic matter is treated by biochemical oxidation.
Process treated as follows:
Sewage from toilets in the ship flows into the Bio-filter Tank. Foreign objects which could
obstruct operation of the plant are held by a screen. Air from a blower causes circulation of
the liquid and breaks up the solids. It also supplies oxygen to the microorganisms attached to
the packing medias.
Separation tank allows static deposition of the suspended solid content included in the
treated water after organic matter has been resolved in the bio-filter tank: a floating scum is
separated from suspended solid, stored in this tank, and finally discharged during cleaning.
The treated water from which suspended solid constituents have been removed in the
separation tank overflows, is mixed with the chlorine which has been dissolved out of the
sterilizer, and then accumulates in the treated water tank, where it is sufficiently sterilized by
chlorine and the UV sterilizer (by circulation). Finally it is automatically discharged outboard
by means of a level control.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN

1. EVERY DAY
• Check of the treated water.
• Check of the UV lamp indicator.
• Record to Daily check

2. WEEKLY
• Check of the quantity of disinfectant and add chlorine to treated water tank.

3. BIWEEKLY
• Check of the quantity of oil and clean the air filter of aeration blower.
• Check of condition of V-belt.

4. MONTHLY
• Cleaning of the bio-filter tank screen.
• Back washing (remove sludge) and discharging of sludge.
• Scum removal.
• Cleaning of the sterilizer (Glass jacket).

5. YEARLY
• Replacing of UV-lamp.
• Check of discharge pump mechanical seal for leakage.

30 Oiler Tran Van Nui


SAFETY INSTRUCTION

• Do not use chemicals for cleaning of toilet. The chemicals will affect and kill the
microorganisms in the tank. This will cause loss of the purification ability, resulting in
the production of a poisonous gas or a bad smell. Use a cleaner which does not give
damage to the microorganisms.
• The aeration blower should be run continuously. The interruption of its continuous
running will kill the microorganisms within the sewage treatment tank. This will cause
loss of the purification ability, resulting in the production of a poisonous gas or a bad
smell. Also, there is a possibility that the air discharge nozzle clogs.
• Check the air vent pipe for the clogging because of sewage or dewing. If the pipe clogs
in this way, the toilet seal water trap will be broken by the back pressure of the
aeration blower, thereby causing the toilet water to splash and at the same time
resulting in the emission of a poisonous bad smell. Also, the splashes dirty your clothes
and the surrounding area.
• The paper to be used in the toilet should be soluble in water. These stuffs may cause
the clogging or failure of the pump.
• This plant operates satisfactorily with fresh, brackish, or sea water. However, it has to
be used always in the same type of water. Avoid sudden change of the type of water,
for example, from sea water to fresh water, in the tank, since this affects activation of
microorganism.

M.G.P.S

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF M.G.P.S


Copper is considered one of the three most toxic heavy metals (mercury, lead, copper). The
concentration of copper in solution is more than 2 ppm it can be toxic to humans, if less than
2 ppm it is sufficient to prevent marine life from setting and multiplying. There for, people
often use to paint for the ship bottom.
Marine biology (barnacles, mussels and other lower forms) enter pipework sea water system
and settle on the internal surface of pipes where they rapidly grow and multiply. That sea
water lines can become blocked, corroded, and thinned.
There for, a Marine Growth Prevent System is mounted on the ship to fighting marine growth.
MGPS is based on the electrolytic principle and consist of cooper, aluminium (or ferrous) are
insulated from the hull as anodes which are fed with an impressed electrical current from
control panel, and the hull side as cathode.
When giving the direct current to the copper electrode insulated from the hull as anode, and
to the hull as cathode. The copper (+) ion generated at the copper electrode is beginning to
melt into the sea water. The copper ion in the reaction tank is attached to both inner wall of
the sea chest and the seawater pipes onboard the vessel, they are acted effectively to repress
marine growth growing at in initial stage.
Same with the direct current as above apply to the aluminium electrode insulated from the
hull as anode, and to the hull as cathode. The aluminium hydroxide like a colloid state is
beginning to melt into the sea water. The soluble water aluminium is also attached to the sea
chest inside walls and inner surface of the pipes effectively which make to the film of a weak
alkali to repress corrosion.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

AIR CONDITIONER FOR GALLEY AND AIR CONDITIONER FOR ENGINE CONTROL ROOM

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN

1. DAILY
• Inspection of compressor discharge pressure.
• Inspection of compressor suction pressure.
• Inspection of condenser cooling water temperature.
• Inspection of vibration and noise.

2. EVERY MONTH
• Inspection and cleaning of air filter.
• Inspection of fan belt and fan motor.

3. EVERY TWO MONTHS


• Greasing up for fan bearing.

4. EVERY THREE MONTHS


• Inspection and cleaning of drain pan.
• Cleaning of condenser tubes.
• Inspection and cleaning of corrosion bar.

5 EVERY SIX MONTHS


• Changing of corrosion bar.
• Inspection of refrigerant leakage.

OPERATION PROCEDURE

1. CAUTION FOR OPERATION


• Once the air conditioner is stopped, wait three minutes before starting it. If the air
conditioner is restarted before a lapse of three minutes, it may be overloaded and a
fuse blown or circuit breaker thrown.

54 Oiler Tran Van Nui


• Be sure to attach the air filter before operation. If the air filter does not replace, dust
will gather on the air conditioner and operation will become erratic.
• Be sure turn off the operation switch and disconnect the power supply when the air
conditioner is not used for a long period of time.
• When it is restarted, turn on the power switch at least 6 hours beforehand. Because
it is necessary to energize the crankcase heater for smooth starting.
• Do not place any obstacle in front of the air suction grille or air discharge grille,
because the air conditioner may be overload, which may also cause trouble with it.
• Do not use inflammable sprays such as hair spray, paint near air conditioner in
operation because of danger or fire. Only wipe with dry, soft cloth. If it is very dirty,
use a soft cloth soaked in water or neutral detergent.
• Condenser water should be supplying predetermined volume. If the air conditioner is
operated without water supply, the high-pressure switch will function and stop the air
condition. If condenser water supplying volume is excessive, the life of condenser will
be shortened due to corrosion.
• Discharge and suction pressures shall be within the values show below under the
normal condition.
- Discharge pressure gauge: 1.5 – 2.1 MPa
- Suction pressure gauge: 0.47 – 0.66 MPa
- When suction pressure exceeds above range due to the high temperature of
suction air or excessive are flow, it is necessary to reduce air flow by adjusting
damper.
• There is the electric heater mounted on unit. When stop the electric heater after used,
operate the fan for at least three minutes to cool off the electric heater, which
protects the electric heater from trouble and ensures long life.
• When air conditioner prolonged idle period, should be done following procedure:
- Operate the fan only for haft a day to dry out the inside.
- Be sure to turn off the power switch.
- Extract all water from the condenser cooling tubes. If water remain in the pipe,
it may be frozen in cold weather and the piping damaged.
