1. First fault indication

19.06.2020
FSO has plan annual calibration LACT Metering, needs to run three
generators to start up COP.
15.56.22 G/E2 online in MGO Mode, Power 491kw (Load 30%).
15.58.02 G/E3 started and run in MGO Mode – All normal.
16.01.34 G/E3 Synchronized to G/E2 in auto mode successful and load
balancing shared. (G/E2 217 kw, G/E3 260 kw).
16.09.04 check G/E2 before put three generators on line to run COP
for annual calibration LACT metering. Thus, all load was changed to
G/E3 (419 kw) and then stop G/E2. (G/E3 is independent on line – in
MGO Mode).

16.09.22 G/E3 Black out (0kw).

16.09.41 G/E1 auto start and take load (204 kw). Black out about 20s.
17:47 Start G/E2 and change to fuel gas mode.
First alarm on Wartsila Computer and WOIS:
- 16.09.09 GE3 ALM Low FO Press, engine inlet.
- 16.09.09 GE3 FO press, engine inlet 0.24 bar. Engine speed 1195 rpm

GE2 FO press, engine inlet 7.68 bar.

GE1 FO press, engine inlet 6.97 bar.

1. Effect & Possible Cause Table

The G/E3 black out when take independent working in MGO with
First alarm “ALM Low FO Press, engine inlet”.
• Transmitter (PT 101) of FO press, engine inlet failure
• Fuel oil system failure
• Program failure

9
2. Verifying Hypotheses and Solutions

Transmitter (PT 101) of FO press, engine inlet failure

• Check Transmitter (PT 101) of FO press, engine inlet failure
• Found normal.

2. Verifying Hypotheses and Solutions

Program failure
• The program not affect to first alarm in this case

11
2. Verifying Hypotheses and Solutions

Fuel oil system failure

• Check PRV found in normal condition. Pressure 7.5 bars and
maintain as requirement. PRV is normal
• Check MGO Pump No.1 & No.2, found pumps are normal condition.
• Checked Fuel oil system found quick closing valve was closed at
open operation position
(Install pressure gauge to the engine fuel piping inlet and outlet PT101
to check)

Quick closing valve was opened up for inspection and found the valve
disc (item 04 in draw.) was dropped out of the disc gland (item 06 in
draw.)

• Check MGO fuel line system of GE3:
• - Inspect Transmitter (PT 101) of FO press, found normal.
• - Check out side of quick closing valve found valve, not found any
abnormal.
• - Check MGO manual valves, not found any abnormal.

20.06.2020
• Install pressure gauge to the engine fuel piping inlet to cross check to
PT101, found same pressure reading.
• Quick closing valve opened up for inspection, found the disc was
dropped out of valve stem/disc gland.

3. Root Cause Conclusion

• Quick closing valve was closed at open operation position. The

valve disc of MGO quick closing valve was dropped out of the disc
gland to make blocking the fuel oil into GE3 caused GE3 black out
on 19.06.2020

Rectification done

20.06.2020
• The valve disc of quick closing valve was fitted back with proper
locking.
• Valve was carried out function test and found OK. Valve was fitted back
into system.
• Line up valve and check MGO engine inlet, found MGO pressure
reading is normal (7.1 bars) same as GE1 and GE2.
• Test run G/E3 unload, parallel to GE1, GE2 on normal load, found all
normal.
• Parallel GE1, GE2 and GE3 to startup COP/ IG system/ Run LACT
system and other loads for checking (the load used same as offtake
operation condition). Found GE1, 2, 3 are in normal operation in fuel
oil and Gas.
