It's so great, that besides showing the actual tests, you take your time to explain why are we doing that. Hope you will keep up the good work and always include explanations in your videos, why is it so and not the other way around. Wish you easy days at work !

[@ShrimptoShark]

Cristi Barbulescu Thank you for such kind words my friend, I totally agree with you. Just doing the tests is not enough, learning why things are done or how things work is what prepares an engineer. I saw your video of the cereal and it showed me that you also have the same mind haha.. We got to keep learning by asking "Why?"

[@nazmulislamnayem95]

You are the only guy who make very logical and qualitiful video about Marine sector, keep-it-up Man, best wishes for you from Bangladesh.

Thank you brother, God bless. I try to share as much as I can from our life.

great work buddy, looking forward to more videos. But I think you forgot to mention about conductivity test.

[@ShrimptoShark]

Thank you dude! And yeah I've heard of that test but spectapack 312 from Unitor does not include it and in my whole year as a cadet on an oil tanker we never analyzed conductivity, maybe the Chloride test was enough?

[@user-sn1pf1tp5r]

My friend, with huge respect to you for all utmost useful content you create, I am wondering: what the hell you wear a chevron of the USSR? For what the reason? I can ask you so, because I lived in that goddamned country.

[@ShrimptoShark]

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.

online they have a catalouge and you can find plenty of operation manuals..sorry for the late reply but just in case someone reads this in the future

[@johanapatriciagallardooliv4508]

Hi, i have some cuestions, could you help me? i need to know about the normative (regulation) of the pH and the method that we can used...thanks

[@ShrimptoShark]

Hello! For sure but I think the video shows how we control PH in various points in the boiler, in the video I show the UNITOR chemicals ALKALINITY CONTROL which we dose directly to the boiler to maintain good base PH levels (but within range) and CONDENSATE CONTROL to dose to the feed tank / cascade tank / hot well which we maintain the PH level there. In the case of the Aalborg mission boilers shown: 10 - 11.5 PH inside the boiler 8 - 9 PH inside the feed tank

[@taksh4227]

When we have to add chemicals.. When boiler is in stopped condition or when firing

[@ShrimptoShark]

It's continuous my friend chemicals can be added ideally when the boiler is in operation because then water will be circulated through the whole system

[@amirullahamirullah464]

When do we carry out blowdown is in stopped or firing sir?

[@0702zaidnerak]

Eres adorable

[@ShrimptoShark]

🤗

[@justinevillar4292]

Sir can you give us a video about how boiler works? Thank youu

[@ShrimptoShark]

Ohh! Of course that is one that will come for sure.. Slowly explained systems step by step

[@ramilatilano8611]

sir how to increase the temperature on the cascade tank or hot well?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Sorry if it's a little late but for future viewers, we have steam lines and thermostatic valves for the hot well to maintain 80+ degrees celcius

[@nandhu234]

what is the normal range of p and m alkalinity to be boiler

[@ShrimptoShark]

Depends on the type of boiler, the manual should state normal parameters depending on the pressure range of the boiler

[@kathz82]

Hi, why is it important to test the chlorine, nitrite, ph and skalinity?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Heya dude.. Hmm I'd answer this question but I think the video answers that fine? Anything in specific you want to know?

[@jesuschacon9490]

what is the job of the pressure in a boiler?.. I try to find information and nothing.. can you help me with this?

[@ShrimptoShark]

This water tube boiler is Mission TM from Allborg (alfa laval) it ranges from 8bar to 16 bar normally however usually if we are not discharging 8bar to 12 bar

[@arlbryanbullos3292]

what will you do if the ph-value in the boiler water is under 7?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Check if burner gases or exhaust gases in the economizer are entering the boiler water.. This will create acid in the water and Lower the Ph.. Meantime add more alkalinity control to neutralize

[@parepepotTv]

what is the normal ratio of chloride content to be maintained sir?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Chorides in boiler water should be kept as low as possible but always it goes up due to hardness acumulating or sea water leaking in

[@siddharthasrivastava8699]

What are the limitations for p alkanity and m alkanity?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Heya dude, well it depends on your boiler type for example for this Mission oil water tube boiler Max. 16bar steam pressure, P. Alk was between 100 - 250ppm. However at higher steam pressures the parameters may be more delicate. Any higher it would be your fault for adding to much chemical.

[@amirullahamirullah464]

How about M-alkalinity, how much is the limit?

[@theoaidoo7284]

Thanks Rafael, I couldn't find your Instagram

For chloride 100 ml sample it is No of pills used * 10 - 10

[@ShrimptoShark]

very good eye, that is correct. it is more accurate than the 50ml sample.

[@yanarosadi3155]

Fire tube or water tube?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Hi! Is that the Venezuelan flag on your suit?

[@ShrimptoShark]

Saludos Alejandro! Thank you for your comment. Yes! Each crewmember has their home flag sewn on the side of their boiler suit (overall). In the future I'll always try to stitch one overall with my home flag and a memento given to me by my boss.

right at the beginning you reversed the greater than, and less than symbols. 7 means greater than 7.

That's correct good eye, it slip passed me. The audio is good but the graph has that symbol mistake

[@amirullahamirullah464]

How much is the limit of chloride?

[@ShrimptoShark]

you can check depending on your boiler system..on that one it was 100ppm

[@amirullahamirullah464]

@@ShrimptoShark what is the effect of chloride?

[@ShrimptoShark]

@@amirullahamirullah464 chlorides increase conductivity in the water which can acelerarate corrosion. A high spike in chlorides can also help indicate if a seawater leak is present in a condenser.

[@amirullahamirullah464]

@@ShrimptoShark so,is it reduce just by blow down sir?

[@ShrimptoShark]

@@amirullahamirullah464 no, the blow down removed sediments and the water with high chlorine, what lowers the choline in the feed water is the fact that we must add new distillate water which should have no minerals.
