(XV-1141) 1) Air supply cond. Check
(FCV-1131/2131)

1) Ship’s staff doesn’t have to check if the valve has not been installed on the existing BWTS or controlled by pneumatic
2) Only the equipment which has been installed in ex-proof zone needs an air source

2) Only the equipment which has been installed in ex-proof zone needs an air source
1. PRE-CHECK FOR SHIP’S UTILITIES

4. Filter Unit

a. Backflushing Discharge V/V for filter

(Air supply cond. Check)
(BFV-1211/2211)

5. Others

a. Filter inlet/outlet/by-pass valves 1)

b. main flow control valves 1)
(FCV-1211/FCV-2211)

Filter Unit

1) Ship’s staff doesn’t have to check if the valve has not been installed on the existing BWTS or controlled by pneumatic
2) Only the equipment which has been installed in ex-proof zone needs the air source
1. PRE-CHECK FOR SHIP’S UTILITIES
Note : Prior to BWTS operation, ship’s staff should check as following :

3) AVAILABILITY OF ALL VALVES FOR BALLASTING SYSTEM

In order to successfully operate BWTS, following valves should have no troubles.
a. ballast tank valves
b. overboard discharge valve
c. sea chest valve
3) d. filter inlet/outlet/by-pass valves

3) e. flow control valves

f. tank suction valve

…….

3) the valves that were supplied by shipyard find some troubles, ship’s staff should contact with shipyard instead of BWTS maker
2. FUNCTION CHECK OF BWTS COMPONENTS

Note :

Before BWT system operating, following equipment and instruments should

be checked whether their function is normal or not.

And also, ship’s staff should check their function status if BWTS was not in
use at least a week over.

2) SEA WATER FEED UNIT

Please Check All related Sea Chest Valve from the sea (Normal Open)
→ Usually S.Chest v/v for S.W.F.U has 2(two) manual v/v as below diagram.
※ 2(two) manual v/v is not the valve right in front of sea chest.

a : Sea Chest V/V

Drain air enough

3) TRO UNIT(TRO sampling box)

No.1 & No.2

a, b : TRO suction valves

XV-1533
No.3

TRO sampling box

c : TRO sampling pump d : TRO sampling pump
(air driven type) (electric motor)

4) The suction valves of XV-1531 & XV-2531 can be commonly used for ballasting and de-ballasting. In this case, there are no XV-1532/XV-2532 valves
5) There are two types of TRO sampling pumps : air driven pumps for ex-proof and electric motor pumps for non-ex-proof. Compressed air needs for ex-proof type pumps
6) The utility air will be supplied to the pump for driving sea water when the sol. valve opens(the solenoid valve is electromechanically operated)
2. FUNCTION CHECK OF BWTS COMPONENTS
3) TRO UNIT(TRO Sensor)
b : TRO Sensor flow check (※ It can be checked only when BWP is running)

a : Failure of TRO sensor Please Check whether the drain Press ‘SERVICE’ button
water flows during operation.
1) Bypass Valve If not, please check the line from
: Open halfway or one around from full close TRO Sampling pump to TRO
2) Inlet Valve Sensor.
: Keep Full open status

After display show

After display show ‘HOLD’ ‘FLOW’, press ‘^’ or ‘v’ A count will be displayed
press ‘MODE/EXIT’ button button

Display will show three kind of If message is ‘HI’ as No.6, adjust

messages which is ‘HI or Low, Good’
* 8 ~ 13 is suitable
To make sure the flow range, please
repeat the step from No.4 to No.6
Reg.v/v to counter clock wise direction.
But if ‘Low’, adjust clock wise direction.
And then Press ‘^ or v’ button to
display new flow rate as No.4 to No.6

3) TRO UNIT(TRO Sensor)

c : Reagent solutions feeding check

Check v/v flushing

1 If check v/v stuck, it needs to be in
2 warm water for about 20 min. to
flushing inside of the v/v

Check valve flushing when reagent

is not drawn from each bottle

Check each reagent(buffer & indicator)

has being drawn to completely prime

< How to remove check valves > (Totally 4 Check valves at TRO Sensor)

After removing pump, Put check v/v in warm water for 20min.
Unscrew two bolts by wrench
Unscrew one bolt by driver until flushing inside.

Remove all tubes attached to

Check v/v from OPTICS
