After settling, the fuel is transferred into FO service tank via FO purifiers. These machines are using centrifugal force in order to separate fuel from solid residues and water. This can be achieved by lowering viscosity through heating. In the pictures can be seen another example of high carbon residues content in fuel. #dgtphotos #chiefengineerlog #chief_engineer_log #seafarerslife💯⚓️🚢 #seafarerlife #marineengineer #marineengineering #geodantel #vessels#ships#ocean#water#sea#purifiers#fuel#bunker#bunkering#pumps#mechanicalengineering https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLoyamAdNm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=26zalw5ri5x9

Main Engine exhaust valve found in satisfactory condition after nearly 36000 hrs of service. As previously explained, ash, vanadium and sodium content should be, preferable, low in order to extend the lifetime of exhaust valves and turbochargers components. #chief_engineer_log #dgtphotos #marineengineer #marineengineering#mainengines#fuels#soot#seafarerlife#seafarer#seaman#seamen#seamenlife#water#ocean#sea#coolmariners#vessels#ships#maintenance#mechanics#mechanicalengineering#enginepower

Where a power driven pump is necessary for transferring fuel oil, a stand by pump is to be provided and connected ready for use. The standby pump may be a manual pump or another suitable power driven pump. Usually, DO transfer pump is interconnected with HFO transfer pump and both can serve the same purpose in case needed. #dgtphotos#chief_engineer_log#marineengineer#marineengineering#seafarerlife#seaman’slife#ocean#sea#water#fuel#vessels#ships#bunker#pumps #dgtphotos#chiefengineerlog#marineengineering#sea#ocean#vessel#seaman#engineering#seafarer#marineengines #marineengineer #water #watercraft #bunker#bunkerbarge#coolmariners #marineengineers #marineengineerlife #lifeofamarineengineer #lifeofmarineengineer https://www.instagram.com/p/BwmxnPBBinS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bg1r8p3q1mse

HFO or DO transfer pump is of a volumetric type and is used to transfer the fuel between FO storage tanks and settling tank. #dgtphotos#chief_engineer_log#marineengineer#marineengineering#seafarerlife#coolmariners#sea#ocean#water#fuel#bunker#pumps#seaman’slife #dgtphotos#chiefengineerlog#marineengineering#sea#ocean#vessel#seaman#engineering#seafarer#marineengines #marineengineer #water #watercraft #bunker#bunkerbarge#coolmariners #marineengineers #marineengineerlife #lifeofamarineengineer #lifeofmarineengineer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwmwv7Uh3as/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=136yz9yerdqfl

Sludge pumps are volumetric type pump capable of taking suction from an oil residue tank and delivered to another oil residue tank or shore facility. #dgtphotos#coolmariners#seafarerlife#seamanlife#chief_engineer_log#ocean#sea#water#seaman’slife#seafarers#marineengineer#marineengineering #dgtphotos#chiefengineerlog#marineengineering#sea#ocean#vessel#seaman#engineering#seafarer#marineengines #marineengineer #water #watercraft #bunker#bunkerbarge#coolmariners #marineengineers #marineengineerlife #lifeofamarineengineer #lifeofmarineengineer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwkq3kwBI9R/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g0nrpyzwkwu2

Oil residue tanks are the tanks which hold sludge directly from which sludge may be disposed through the standard discharge connection or any other approved means of disposal. #chief_engineer_log#dgtphotos#marineengineer#marineengineering#marineengineers#seafarerlife#seamanlife⚓️#seaman’slife#ocean#sea#water#sludgedisposal#fuels#bunkering#vessels#ships#portoperations https://www.instagram.com/p/BwcEuEHl_fr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dfgpc8qzhqc2

Sludge means the residual waste oil products such as those resulted from the purification of fuel or lubricating oils from main or auxiliary machinery or separated waste oil from bilge water separators, oil filtering equipment or oil collected in drip trays and waste hydraulic and lubricating oils. #chief_engineer_log#dgtphotos#marineengineer#marineengineering#seafarerlife#seafarer#seamanlife⚓️#seaman’slife#ocean#sea#fuels#bunkering#sludge#shorefacility#cleanwaters https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwb3jDxguGW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h3to8thcuwax
