What action is taken when oil is found in the water level gauge glass?

OIL CONTAMINATION WHEN JUST VISIBLE IN GAUGE GLASS AND BOILER IS IN OPERATION FOR DISCHARGING OF CARGO THEN FOLLOWING STEPS SHOULD BE TAKEN. DONOT SHUT THE FIRE OFF -CONTINUE TO STEAM THE BOILER WHILE IMMEDIATELY STARTING TO TRACE THE SOURCE OF THE LEAKAGE.

What is the first action you should take when there is no water in the boiler gauge glasses *?

Drain down the boiler after allowing it to cool down. If no sufficient time to do this, lower the boiler pressure to 3 to 4 bar. Shut the main steam stop valve. Open the ship side valve then open the blow down valve.

How do you get oil out of boiler water?

The oil will now only cover the boiler in the normal water level range and can be manually removed. Hot or cold water high-pressure jet equipment together with oil dispersive additives would be efficient for removal of the oil.

How do you take action if one of the passages of gauge glass is chocked?

How do you take action if one of the passages of gauge glass is chocked? Steam and water cocks and passages in the gauge can be cleared while the boiler is still steaming. To do this, shut the steam and water cocks and open the drain cock.

What is the purpose of the boiler water treatment *?

Its purpose is to properly react with feed water hardness, condition sludge, scavenge oxygen and prevent boiler water foaming. The water treatment facilities purify and deaerate make-up water or feed water.

What is the purpose of the boiler water treatment?

Boiler water treatment is used to control alkalinity, prevent scaling, correct pH, and to control conductivity. The boiler water needs to be alkaline and not acidic, so that it does not ruin the tubes. There can be too much conductivity in the feed water when there are too many dissolved solids.

What would be the problem may cause if there is oil organics in boiler feed water?

Oil-contaminated boiler feed water may cause the total breakdown of boilers. Engine manufacturers in the maritime industry spend a lot of time and effort in exploring new and better methods in order to reduce consumption and increase efficiency.

How does the boiler get contaminated with oil?

The most common sources of oil contamination observed on boilers originate from leaking heating coils fitted in fuel oil tanks, fuel/lub oil heaters, cylinder lub oil from reciprocating steam engines for pumps and heating coils in DB tanks dedicated for sludge/waste oil tanks.

Why is it important to have boiler water treatment scheme on our boilers?

Suitable boiler water treatments will eliminate oxygen from the water and help prevent corrosion. This can result in the general corrosion and reduced function of your system. Treatment can reduce the occurence of foaming and prevent these issues.

What are the essential requirements of boiler feed water?

Boiler feedwater treatment The boiler water needs to be alkaline and not acidic, so that it does not ruin the tubes. There can be too much conductivity in the feed water when there are too many dissolved solids. These correct treatments can be controlled by efficient operator and use of treatment chemicals.
