Each pump should have a relief valve unless the piping systems are designed for full shutoff head
of the pump. Each pump should have a suction strainer and suction and discharge pressure gages.
The suction mains run along the bottom of the ship form the cargo tank to the pump room. Each
main is connected to tail pipes in the tanks that are dedicated to a particular segregation. Each tail
pipe should end in a bellmouth of sufficient diameter to permit the bottom of the bellmouth to be
within ¾ in. Of the tank bottom while providing a flow area of at least 1,5 times the tail pipes
area. This is necessary to permit the removal of as much oil as possible and to reduce the entrance
of air into the pipe caused by vortices which lower the level of the oil surface near the tail pipes.
Two or more tail pipes may be required in a single tank if the tank internal structure doesn’t allow
sufficiently raid drainage of oil toward a single tail pipe inlet.
Each suction main is connected to cargo pumps that are dedicated to a particular segregation.
Cross –connections with normally shut valves are provided between the mains in the pump room
to permit any pump to take suction form any tank in case of a pump failure.
Each suction main should be sized for the full capacity of the pump to which it is normally
connected. Tank tail pipe are usually sized for unloading two or more tank simultaneously;
However, it may be desirable to be able to unload a single tank at full pump capacity. Suction
piping should be sized so the tanks can be pumped down to the lowest practicable level at full
cargo pump rating before the pump suction pressure decreases below the required net Positive
suction head at rated flow.

Stripping systems
A stripping system is provided to remove the cargo that remains in the tanks after the main cargo
pump piping begins to ingest air. The air enter the suction piping trough vortices that form near the
tail pipes. In addition, bubbles can form in the suction piping because the reduced pressure
permits lighter components of the crude oil to vaporize. The tendency of the crude oil to form
bubbles depends on its composition and can be a severe design limitation for crude oil having
components with low vapor pressures. Air and vapor bubbles entering the cargo pump can cause a
loss of suction and speed surges, which may damage the pump. Therefore, good practice required
that the final stage of emptying the cargo tank (the “stripping” operation) be accomplished using
smaller –capacity “stripping” pumps instead of the main cargo pump.

pump
The stripping system should have separate, relatively small suction mains and tail pipes to each
cargo tank. The stripping piping should be arranged to permit the stripping pump to remove
residual oil form piping and tanks following unloading, and discharge it to deck manifolds. In
addition, the stripping system is commonly designed to pump wash water form cargo tanks to the
slop tanks, discharge oily waste form the slop tanks to the deck manifolds, discharge clean water
form the slop tanks overboard via the oil content monitoring system, and dewater the pump room
in an emergency. The overboard discharge line of stripping system should terminate above the
waterline, should have an automatically operated stop valve that is actuated by the oil content
monitor. The stripping pumps should also be arranged to pump oily waste form the pump room
bilge to the slop tanks, since the discharge of such waste to the machinery space oily waste
systems could cause an ignition hazard in the machinery space. The stripping suction piping also
serves the crude oil wash stripping eductors.
Each slop tank should be provided with separate inlet and outlet connection to minimize
turbulence, which disrupts the separation of oil form water. The inlet piping should be arranged to
direct the flow horizontally at a low velocity.
Ameans of controlling the stripping pumps and also aligning valves to pump out a flooded pump
room must be provided in an accessible location outside the pump room or form above the
freeboard deck in the pump room casing.
Stripping pumps should be of the positive displacement or reciprocating type because they must
havwe high suction lift capabilities. The most demanding service that determines the pump head
rating is the discharge of liquid form the bottom of the cargo tanks to the deck discharge manifold.
The main cargo pumps can be designed to more completely remove the cargo form the tanks by
using speed controls on the cargo pumps to reduce the pump flow as the tanks level falls, and by
using vacuum pumps to remove gas form the suction piping before the gas reaches the pump.
Vapor sensing and removal with cargo pump speed control can combined in a fully automatic
installation.
Ballast systems
Ballast tanks and piping are completely segregated form the cargo oil tanks and piping to eliminate
any possibility of discharging oil overboard when deballasting. On product carriers, where a small
amount of water mixed with the cargo can severely affect its value, segregated ballast is also
necessary to avoid sea water contamination of the cargo. The system serves ballast tanks in the
cargo area plus the fore peak tank. A ballast pump is located in the pump room, and is arranged to
take suction on either of two sea chest and discharge to the ballast tank, or take suction on the
ballast main and discharge overboard. A tail pipe is connected to ballast main for each tank. The
overboard discharge terminates above the waterline to permit visual monitoring. A by pass is
provided around the pump to permit ballasting by gravity flow.
Oil content monitoring system
Mixtures of oil and water that accumulate in the process of washing cargo tanks are collected in
the slope tank, where oil and water separate by gravity overtime; this process is some times
facilitated by heating coils in tanks. Water that has an oil content below regulatory limits may then
be discharged overboard provided the discharged is monitored to ensure the limit is not exceeded.
An oil content monitoring system continuously analyzes fluids samples and determines the oil
content. A sampling piping leads to the monitor form the stripping pump overboard discharges. In
addition to determining the oil content, the monitor uses input of ship speeds and overboard
discharge flow rate to determine the total quantity of oil discharged overboard per nautical mile,
and the cumulative total quantity discharged during voyage. If any present limit is exceeded the
system automatically shuts the overboard discharge valve. Details of oils discharge limits are
contain in marpol regulation
