Tanker & Gas Cargo Systems

2 lessons

Bulk liquid cargo handling on tankers and gas carriers: centrifugal cargo oil pumps, steam turbine drives, pumproom bulkhead gas seals, automated Vac-Strip stripping systems, submerged hydraulic Framo pumps, and crude oil washing (COW).

This chapter collects 2 illustrated lessons on Tanker & Gas Cargo Systems as part of Auxiliary Machinery & Shipboard Systems, ordered as they are best studied. It opens with Centrifugal Cargo Pumps & Stripping Systems — Double-Entry Impellers, Steam Turbines and Vac-Strip, Submerged Hydraulic Cargo Pumps (Framo), Cofferdam Purging & Crude Oil Washing (COW). Each lesson is written for MEO oral and written preparation: definitions first, then how the system behaves, then the checks and figures used in practice.
