Key Task - EO 2.

5 - Demonstrates an ability to prepare and operate fresh water generating plant,

(start / stop).
My duty on this task is to prepare the fresh water valves, start and stop the fresh water generator with guidance of the
3rd Assistant Engineer.

Starting Procedure;

- Open the valves on the suction (556V) and discharge (555V) of the ejector pump.

- Open overboard valve for combined brine/air ejector discharge (553V).

- Open Seawater İnlet Valve from Ejector (110V).

- Open the combined brine/air ejector outlet valve (552V).

- Switch on power supply.

- Close air Bleed valve ( VA-E1-01).

- Close the Seawater By-Pass Valve ( if the seawater is more than 20*C).

After preparing the above list, ı started the Ejector pump and switched on the salinometer under the supervision of the
third assistand enginner. We waited for the vacuum to be generated at 90%. I checked the pressure at the ejector inlet
that its between 3-4 bar.

After vacuum reached the 90% ;

- Open the Hotwater ( Jacket Cooling Water) outlet valve to middle (50%) and slowly open the Hotwater ( Jacket
Cooling Water) inlet valve fully.

- By direction of the third assistand enginner, ı closed the hotwater by-pass valve slightly(about 10-15%) for reach the
specified temperature of the intlet and outlet hotwater. Also ı checked boiling temperature thermometer on brine
outlet.İts about 40-45*C.

- We observed on the flow sight glass that water is generated. I started the freshwater pump and set the salinity alarm
point to 10ppm. When the salinity level dropped below the set alarm point we checked the water meter for amount of
water produced.

After that ı connected the chemical hose to the feed water line and adjust to app.70. The other button at 100% and
started the chemical dosing pump.

Stopping Procedure;

By direction of the third assistand enginner, ı opened the hotwater by-pass valve fully.
I closed the hotwater inlet valve fully and after hotwater outlet valve, after that stopped the fresh water
pump. We waited for cool down fresh water generator by running the ejector pump.
I stopped the ejector pump and opened the air bleed valve.
I closed seawater inlet valve(110V), ejector outlet valve(552V) and ejector overboard valve(553V).
