How to start purifier in ship？

Starting a purifier on a ship typically refers to activating the fuel oil purifier or any other similar systems onboard. While the exact procedure may vary depending on the type of purifier (like a centrifugal purifier), here's a general guide:

 Steps to Start a Purifier on a Ship:

1. Check the Operation Manual:

   - Always refer to the purifier's specific operation manual for any manufacturer-specific instructions.

2. Pre-start Checks:

   - Ensure proper fuel or liquid supply: Check if there’s enough fuel or the liquid to be purified (e.g., fuel oil, water) in the system and that the necessary valves are open.

   - Check the purifier unit for any visible issues: Inspect for any leaks, damages, or improper connections in the system.

   - Check the electric supply: Ensure the electrical supply to the purifier is functioning correctly, including the main switchboard and controls.

3. Start the Pre-rotation (if required):

   - Some systems require the initial pre-rotation (manual or automatic) to ensure the rotating parts move freely before the purifier starts. Use the "Pre-rotation" switch if available.

4. Start the Purifier (Main Start):

   - Turn on the purifier motor: Use the start button or switch to initiate the motor.

   - Monitor pressure levels: Check the inlet and outlet pressure gauges to make sure they are within the normal operating range.

5. Adjust the Flow Rates:

   - Control the flow of the liquid to the purifier: Adjust the feed rate to maintain optimal operation.

   - Set the separation parameters: Depending on the type of purifier, adjust the separation parameters, such as the temperature or centrifugal speed, if needed.

6. Monitor the System:

   - Check for any alarms or warnings: Pay attention to any warning lights or alarms that may indicate a malfunction.

   - Monitor the purifier during operation: Ensure the system is running smoothly, and check for consistent performance.

7. Completion of Operation:

   - Once the purifier has finished its task (e.g., separating impurities from fuel or cleaning), follow the procedure to shut it down, ensuring that the unit is cleaned and any waste or impurities are disposed of properly.

8. Record the Operation:

   - Document the purifier's operation and any maintenance tasks in the logbook.

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines specific to the type of purifier installed on your ship for safety and efficient operation.
