Q

why is the cross connection important in the main circulation system?

A

it allows for the port or starboard cooling system to share HPSW if one of the strainers is blocked
needs MEO’s permission
same with emergency cooling

Q

why do we use fresh water rather then salt water for cooling?

A

as fresh water is less contaminated the SW so there is less corrosion in machinery which could damage it .

Q

what is grey water?

A

water from showers, galley, laundry’s

29
Q

what is the regulation around black water?

A

can be discharged
within 4NM of the coast if a IMO approved sewage treatment (STP)

between 4-12NM of the coast if a approved system to dilute and disinfect the sewage

over 12NM from the coast no treatment

30
Q

what does IMO stand for?

A

International Maritime Organisation.

31
Q

when can you discharge grey water?

A

any where apart from ports or harbour.

32
Q

what is the vacuum pumping system (VPS) used for?

A

a set of
diesel / electric pumps
manifolds and hoses
which black and grey water is discharged to shore facilities

33
Q

what is the job of a bilge Educator?

A

removes fuel oil and water from a bilge and discharges overboard

34
Q

what is the job of the bilge system?

A

separates oil from the water in the bilge and discharges the oil into the sullage system and water overboard

35
Q

what is the job of the sullage system?

A

holds oil and waste from the bilge whilst under way to be pumped out once alongside.

36
Q

what are Educators?

A

a piece of kit that sucks large amounts of water from bildges.

37
Q

how do you operate the Educator valves and why do you do it in this order?

A

open the D.O.B valve
open the motive waster supplied from HPSWM
open the bilge suction valve
keep manned
could flood the bilge if opened in the wrong order
only operated with MEO’s permission

38
Q

what are the hazards of the bilge and sullage system? (4)

A

fire and explosion risk
toxic gases
affects stability
flood risk

39
Q

what are the advantages of HP air?

A

easily distributed throughout the ship
easily stored
flexible and reliable
low fire risk

40
Q

what is the operating pressure of HP air

A

276 bar

41
Q

what two area is HP air split into?

A

Inside Machinery Space(IMS)
Outside Machinery Space(OMS)

42
Q

what are the uses for HP air? (7)

A

diesel generator starting
gas turbine starting
ship siren operation
breathing apparatus charging
hydraulic accumulator charging
air driven machinery
cross connected to LP air

43
Q

what is the pressure in each stage of compression of HP air and the relief valve value?

A

1st stage
4bar
relief 4.4bar

2nd stage
17.5 bar
relief 19.25bar

3rd stage
68 bar
relief 74.9bar

4 stage
276 bar
relief 303.6

relief is +10% of compression

44
Q

what is the safety relief pressure of the water jacket?

45
Q

what pressure is LP at?

49
Q

what are the health hazards with raw sewage?

A

Typhoid
Hepatitis
Gastro-Enteritis (D and V)

50
Q

why do we have STP’s? (5)

A

reduce the number of ship side openings
simplify pipe runs
heads and bathrooms lower in the ship and can be used in drydock
ship can operate in anti pollution zones
easier to close down in CBRN environment

51
Q

why do we need aerobic Bactria in sewage treatment?

A

as they are need to break down raw sewage with out creating H2S.

52
Q

why do we need Aeration diffusers in STP’s?

A

to aerate the sewage so that the bacteria needed to break down sewage can be kept alive other wise Hydrogen Sulphide is created a toxic gas that smells like eggs.

53
Q

why is there isolation valves on each tank in the STP?

A

so that you can discharge sewage at any stage of the process depending on how far from land you are.

54
Q

what is the job of the coarse screen?

A

to filter large pieces of sewage from the black water tank.

55
Q

how does the broken down sewage get to the separation hopper and what is its job?

A

a air lift sucks up the sewage and so it can settle in the hopper to be drained

56
Q

how is sewage collected in the CHT system?

A

specials pumps draw a vacuum into the collection tank

57
Q

what is the capacity of the collection tank?

A

1 day

58
Q

how do we transfer between the collection tank and the holding tank?

A

level switches activate a transfer pump with pumps it between the tanks.

59
Q

what is the capacity of the holding tank?

A

12 days.

60
Q

how do we prevent sewage turning anaerobic in a CHT system?

A

sewage is circulated between tanks by a ejector which slightly aerates it .

61
Q

what are the hazards with STP’s

A

raw sewage
dangerous chemicals - calcium hypochlorite
dangerous gases- HS2,Methane and chlorine

62
Q

what is the effect of 0.03 PPM of hydrogen sulphide?

A

smells like rotten eggs

63
Q

what is the effect of 150-400 PPM of hydrogen sulphide?

A

loss of smell, dizziness, coughing, difficulty breathing

64
Q

what is the effect of 1000 PPM of hydrogen sulphide?

A

immediate unconsciousness and death
