Steam Quantity Estimation

The document estimates steam requirements for heating various tanks on an oil tanker. It finds that the largest steam demand is 8,125 kg/hr for heating a 5,000 cubic meter HFO storage tank from 30 to 40 degrees Celsius. Additional demands include 4,062 kg/hr for a 1,000 cubic meter settling tank, and 312 kg/hr for a 55 cubic meter clean tank. Adding a 10% allowance for losses, the total estimated steam demand is 13,762 kg/hr.
