Your answer is correct:

False.
18

Mechanical homogenisers are sometimes fitted as part of the fuel oil treatment arrangement. Which one of the following options given best describes the effect of a homogeniser on fuel oil?

Your answer is correct:

Grinds solid particles down in size.
19

Safe operation and pollution prevention procedures should be contained in the ships Safety Management Manual as part of the company’s Safety Management System. Which legislation requires this?

Your answer is correct:

ISM Code.
20

Some centrifuges used for oil have a solenoid valve in the water outlet, which is controlled by a water sensor in the oil outlet. What is this type of centrifuge used for?

Your answer is correct:

Treating high density residual fuel oils.
21

Stabilizers are sometimes used as part of the fuel treatment to improve performance. Which of the given options best describes the action of fuel stabilizers?

Your answer is correct:

They reduce the oxidation rate in storage.
22

Suction strainers are fitted to most fuel oil treatment systems. Which one of the following best describes the main purpose of a suction strainer?

Your answer is correct:

To protect the pumps from large solid particles.
