All parties do not want to be harmed, the cargo owner expects the
ship to arrive at destination, so that cargo does not face obstacles on the
unloading process. The operator wants to make the voyage smooth at a cost
that is not increasing. Therefore it is expected to always pay attention to
auxiliary equipment. Purifier is an auxiliary equipment which functions as
fuel separator, so that the sediments do not enter the daily tank. Purifier
condition is very influential as it relates to the fuel. For sample case, the main
engine can not be started when docked to port during the unloading process.
It happens because the injector is blocked. The blockage of the injector is
caused by dirty fuel.
This research aims to determine the factors that causing
interference on FO Purifier and to know how to maintenance and repairs as
well as efforts to prevent overflow. The methodology used in terms of
research type is descriptive qualitative and in terms of collection methods this
research use interviews, observations, literature study, and documents study.
From the results of the study and research conducted, there are
several issues that are important to discuss, that is : what causes the
occurrence of interference on FO Purifier and how to overcome interference
on FO Purifier. At the end of the thesis the authors summarize conclusion that
the defect in the purifier exists in MT. Sambu is the sliding factor bowl and
damage to the main seal ring. The researcher proposes to company to provide
spare parts according to the manufacturer and suggestions for engineer to
improve treatment on the purifier, pay attention to both the factors causing
the overflow on the purifier and improve maintenance on systems related to
FO purifier.
