FUEL OIL HANDLING SYSTEM-DESIGN AND CONSIDERATIONS

The fuel oil handling system plays a critical role in the storage and transportation of fuel oils.

Including other functions like bunkering, loading/unloading, and transfer.

Heavy fuels like heavy fuel oil (HFO), Low Sulfur Heavy Stock (LSHS), and High-Performance Street (HPS) oil are commonly unloaded from a barge, coastal facility, or rail tanker.

Since some of the fuel oils are high viscosity, the heating is onsite through an inline electric immersion heater. Or if the onsite steam boiler is available, then steam tapped from the utilities steam header is used.

The heavy fuel oils are stored in the storage tanks with floor coil heaters. Heating the oil through steam passing through the floor coils. In the absence of the steam boilers, whether inline or flanged immersion heater type. Electric immersion heaters are also used to reduce the viscosity of fuel oils.

WHY MARINE CREWS SHOULD USE FLANGED HEATERS FOR THEIR VOYAGES

Modern marine vessels are marvels of engineering and technology, requiring far less equipment and manpower than their predecessors.

Yet, providing sufficient heating to power the various components of a ship can be a challenge depending on the vessel’s purpose. That’s where flanged heaters come in. These types of heaters are among the most efficient heating devices boat crews can rely on. This post will examine why these heaters are so effective and how they work aboard various marine vessels.

5 COMMON INDUSTRIAL USES FOR CIRCULATION HEATERS

Circulation heaters receive much praise in the industrial world for their ability to service many liquid heating applications.

Oil-based solutions encompass a wide range of products. They include hydraulic oils used in hydraulic machinery, lubricating oils, and fuel oils. These oils need to be heated at precise temperatures (and often, pressures) to reach a suitable viscosity for which the oil can be used commercially. Circulation heaters provide even heat distribution that allows these oils to ...
