ODME - What Is It - (Part 2) - General Technical Knowledge
Technical knowledge
Marpol has put a limit on how much total oil we can discharge in
the wash water. This limit is 1/30000 of the total cargo carried. So:
2 – Settling time ( min 36h ) ensures that the oil has separated
completely from the water.
Check the inlet and outlet valves for flow meter are open
Check Fresh water supply is available and all valves are open
Check sample line inlet and outlet valves are open
Check air supply for pneumatic valves is on.
Check cleaning solution is present in the container
Check power supply
Check sample pump shaft
After all the above steps are completed and verified, cargo oil can
be commence for overboard discharge.
Pls take note that when you reduce the pump speed to reduce the
flow –> with flow rate reduced, the IRD will reduce too.
For each time ODME is stopped, we need start Cleaning cycle for
ODME system. Have 2 wat to start: automatic or manual.
Once the ODME operation is completed, we can close all the valves
and electric power. Pls remember to record into a Log book.
Conclusion:
Pls read The ODME manual before use to avoid damaged system.
Some time, the oil is discharged via bypass system because they
feel ODME to hard to operate. So pls know the equipment well, not
only these will seem easy to operate but also will operate perfectly.
Thanks!!!
