Hahah those hardships is what unite us. It's always fun to meet fellow seafarers and share tales only we understand.

Thank you amigo mio, I'm happy it was useful. Success and nothing else brother!

We use unitor chemicals

Check the hot well for any oil traces or contaminants (use boiler coagulant to make oil particles rise and be visible in the surface). If you dose directly in the hotwell and no change is observed then check the quality of the distillate being produced from the Evaporators.

@@ShrimptoShark quality of distille water from FWG?

Hahaha that's correct on these cruise vessels we are used to calling the fwg, Evaporators. Correct try from the sample point to test to see if it is highly acidic (which it shouldn't be)

You're welcome and thank you for your kind comment

Thanks 🤗

It gets easier each time but there are so many types of mechanical seals for different pumps. We get to see most of then onboard in various sizes. Success and nothing else

It's true that they should be avoided but youd be surprised in the stuff that some ships use. It all depends on the quality of materials your provider gives.

I'm glad it was of use amigo

Thank you amigo I appreciate your comment on my old cadet adventure 😁😂

Next week i will be Traning Engineer on board....hope can be like you

With curiosity and hard work you will make it don't worry it's a good job.

Thank you so much

Thank you brother

I would ask a Chief engineer for paperwork information, but it's usually filling out a form the lab provides and sending it in a box with one of the sample bottles sealed with a marked cable tie

Yeah amigo, this was one of my first videos, I keep trying to learn new things each time.

Thank you, I will try my best to continue even in my new environment cruise ships.

I'm glad it was helpful! My friend

No problem, proper messurement (or at least knowing how to do it) is important in case chief or the second engineer asks.

Glad you liked it! Thank you

It was a very nice gift from my second engineer when I was a cadet he told me he used it in the past. He is a very smart man with a laid back actitude so I was happy to have part of his style on my coverall.

It's my pleasure, success and nothing else!

Thank you, it's my goal to make these complex things sweet and simple.

It could be various things, does it lose all water suddenly or is it something gradual? If there are standby pumps does this happen to all pumps or just one is specific? Do the pumps run frequently due to suspected vacuum leak?

This is because if it is just one pump you can check the flap in case it is clogged with something, if there is a vacuum leak in the acomodation it will cause the vacuum pumps to run without the toilets giving new water to the line causing the pipeline to be dry (there may be a connection to connect a hose and prime the line for flush the toilets full of water various times. Just some ideas, remote troubleshooting is always difficult.

Glad you think so! My friend I try my best

@@ShrimptoShark i will recommend your channel to all my friends in navel architecture and marine engineering department,i am planning to be in your place after graduation , thank you for videos again it really help

For UNITOR we use Hardness Control which is a phosphate solution.

Éxito y más nada hermano gracias a ti por tu comentario y apoyo.

It's my pleasure and happiness to see that the video is useful.

Hola amigo, no he conocido muchos de Argentina pero me imagino que es más exigente. Generalmente en los barcos las operaciones y mantenimientos de rutina los hacen los de abordo y trabajo especializados en tierra.

You should dose depending on the pH value of the water analysis results. Depending on the pressure system of your boiler you can add alkalinity control to the chemical dosing tank or hot well

I appreciate it brother, I am just a curious guy.

Thank you for your support

Thank you brother, I'm a 3rd engineer now on cruise ships.

Yeah it's been a while since I uploaded something about purifiers.. I'm now working on cruise ships, when I feel more stable I'll update.

It should be a regular maintenance (time based) there are also sewage analysis in which if you see too many suspended solids there should be more bacteria dosed

That's correct the pump creates the vacuum of the toilet system and discharges to the plant.

The stroke.. However it depends on how fast you want to dose the chemical to the boiler

@@ShrimptoShark pump used here is reciprocating ?

Gracias amigo

Thank you for believing that

Thank you so much! It's really just curiosities and passion to learn how things work hahaha.
