INERT GAS DILUTION SYSTEM

Processes of Gas Exchange

 

Dilution Technique

 

If the gas exchange process is carried out using the dilution theory it assumes that the incoming gas mixes uniformly with the original gas throughout the tank so that the concentration of the original gas reduces exponentially. The conditions required for such a process to happen ideally are high incoming velocity of the gas so that the jet could reach the bottom most portions of the tank which in turn depends on tank dimensions as well. In this case the points for entry and exit of the gas are both located towards the top of the tank as shown in the figure below

SMPEP (Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan)

Image
SMPEP (Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan) Background MARPOL Annex II Regulation 17 requires every chemical tanker of 150 GT and above to carry a SMPEP. Scope of this plan is to provide guidance on the actions to be taken if a spill of oil or noxious liquid substance has occurred or is likely to occur. The plan is in line with IMO MEPC. 54(32), MEPC.86(44) and the SMPEP guidelines in Resolution MEPC.85(44). Plan Approval by the Administration or a Recognised Organisation (RO) on behalf of the Administration is mandatory.   Contents     Reporting Requirements     Steps To Control Discharge     National And Local Co-Ordination     Additional Information     List Of Coastal State Contacts     List Of Ship Interest Contacts     Summary of Flow Chart And Checklists     IΜΟ ...

How and Why to Take Manual Sounding On Ship?

How to take Manual Sounding? Sounding is a term used for taking a measurement of the amount of fluids in the tanks of a ship. Different type of sounding methods are used on board ships. In this article, we will take a look at the importance of taking manual sounding and the method of taking the same. Why Manual Sounding? On board ship, it is very important to keep the updated record of the quantity of liquids (in all forms) present in various tanks. A ship is fitted with different types of automatic and hydraulic/ pneumatic/ mechanical sounding measuring systems wherein the level of the liquid can be checked remotely or locally without manually measuring and calculating the liquid amount inside the tank. One cannot entirely depend on the automation and mechanical devices, especially when it comes to those substances, for which, negligence can cause oil pollution and machinery damages. Manual sounding is always preferred by all seafarers (deck and en...

What is Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP)?

Image
What is Ship Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP)?   Understanding SOPEP   Sopep stands for Ship oil pollution emergency plan and as per the MARPOL 73/78 requirement under Annex I, all ships with 400 GT and above must carry an oil prevention plan as per the norms and guidelines laid down by International Maritime Organization under MEPC (Marine Environmental Protection Committee) act. The Gross tonnage requirement for oil tanker, according to SOPEP, reduces to 150 GT as oil itself is a kind of cargo which doubles the risk of oil pollution. Master of the ship is the overall in charge of the SOPEP of the ship, along with the chief officer as subordinate in charge for implementation of SOPEP on board. SOPEP also describes the plan for the master, officer and the crew of the ship to tackle various oil spill scenario that can occur on a ship. For oil tankers, action plan widens regarding the cargo handling and cargo tanks containing huge quantities of oil. ...
