9.2.8 The design of fuel oil system shall ensure that compliance with the following
operational requirements:

i) Facilities for auto start of standby HFO/ LDO pressuring pumps in event
of tripping of any running pump or low fuel oil pressure.

ii) Facility for auto start and shutdown of drain oil pumps in conjunction
with level in the drain oil tanks.

iii) Facility for automatic as well as manual start/ignition of oil burners (in
association with BMS).

iv) Maximum turn down ratio, for the oil burners (without needing burner
tip changes).

v) Automatic purge interlock to facilitate restarting of oil firing system

after trip /prior shut down of oil firing.
