Q

how do you ensure the least amount of oil enters the bilge

A
  • Keep machinery spotless, it is easier to spot leaks
  • Monitor Lub Oil ready use tanks and investigate any losses
  • No surfactants to be used
  • AFFF only to be used in real fire risk situations (not drills)
  • Eductors to be manned when in operation
  • Maximise the use of shoreside facilities when alongside

23
Q

what is the sullage system

A

Retains dirty fluid waste until it can properly be discharged ashore

24
Q

what are eductors used for

A
  • used to suck water out of the bildge
  • uses bernoulli’s theory
  • HPSW Provides the motive force for an eductor.
  • requires permission from MEO
25
Q

explain the sequence to use the eductors

A
  1. get permission from the MEO
  2. Open the discharge overboard
  3. Open the motive water supplied from the HPSWM
  4. Open the bilge suction valves.
26
Q

what happens if the eductors are opened in the wrong sequence

A

If opened in the wrong order, you’re fucked, the machinery space will flood

27
Q

what are the health hazards asociated with sewage

A
  • Typhoid
  • Hepatitis
  • Gastro-Enteritis
28
Q

how many HPSW pumps are running in state 3

A

1 - can run whole ship alone
isolated valves are open

29
Q

how many HPSW pumps are running in DC state 1

A
  • all pumps
  • ringmain is isolated - minimise effect of damage
30
Q

how many HPSW pumps are running for special operations (flying ops)

A

more than 1

31
Q

what is the route for SW from the sea to the ringmain

A
  1. sucked from sea
  2. strainer (removes large particulates)
  3. riser
  4. ringmain
32
Q

what is the percentage for leak-off on relief valves

A

10%

33
Q

why is leak-off used

prevents over pressurisation

34
Q

where can pumps be operated from

A

Q

where are fixed firefighting systems locaded on ship

A
  • magazines
  • paint lockers
  • inflam stores
  • funnels
36
Q

what is IMO

A

International Maritime Organisation

37
Q

what is the purpose of IMO

A

organisation promotes safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation.

38
Q

how can LP air be supplied if there is no LP avaliable

Q

advantages of using a sewage treatment plant

A
  • To reduce number of ship side openings
  • To simplify pipe runs
  • Heads and bathrooms can be lower in ship
  • Heads and bathrooms can be used in dry dock

  • It is easier to close down in CBRN conditions (and heads can still be used)
47
Q

what is HPAC

A

high pressure air compression
* first stage - 4bar +10%
* second stage - 17.5bar+10%
* third stage - 68 bar+10%
* forth stage - 276bar +10%

48

what is pre-wetting

A
  • way of cleaning top deck when comtaminated
  • sprays water - ships tilts to remove contaminated water
49
Q

name the two distinct areas of HP air

A
  • ims - inside machinery space
  • oms - ouside machinery space
50
Q

what are the two catagories of HP air

A
  • air operating below 275bar
  • air operating at 276bar
51
Q

what is aerobic

A
  • sewage is being digested
  • uses the oxygen airflow
  • (good)
52
Q

what is anaerobic

A
  • air supply fails
  • digestion is not taking place
  • hydrogen gas is produced
  • (bad)
53
Q

what does CHT stand for

A

collect Hold and Transfer

54
Q

what is CHT

A

automated system
sewage is collected in tanks
has a capacity of 12 days

55
Q

what are the hazards of STP

A

Dangerous chemicals - calcium hyprchlorite
raw sewage - typhoid, hepatits
dangerous gases - hydrogen sulphide

56
Q

explain the H2S monitor

A

H2S is given off during biological breakdown
it monitors the gas levels
must be turned on before entering the chamber
must be tanking in the tank before maintaenance
