Procedure for Operating the Diesel Oil Separator

The dedicated DO separator is identical to the HFO separators, therefore operates on the same principle using the same type of controller, so the operating procedures are identical. Therefore, only the valve settings will differ.

NOTE: care must be taken to heat the diesel oil carefully. The temperature controller must be set to the correct type of diesel fuel (40^oC or max 60^oC, depending on the type of fuel) and when steam is used to make sure the controller is properly controlling the temperature.

Stopping the DO separator is an identical process for stopping HFO separator.
