5.6.1 Each EGC unit should be supplied with an
ETM-B provided by the Manufacturer. This ETM-B should, as a minimum,
contain the following information:
-
(a) the identification of the unit (manufacturer,
model/type, serial number and other details as necessary) including
a description of the unit and any required ancillary systems;
-
(b) the operating limits, or range of operating
values, for which the unit is certified. These should, as a minimum,
include:
-
(i) maximum and, if applicable, minimum mass flow
rate of exhaust gas;
-
(ii) the power, type and other relevant parameters
of the fuel oil combustion unit for which the EGC unit is to be fitted.
In the cases of boilers, the maximum air/fuel ratio at 100% load should
also be given. In the cases of diesel engines whether the engine is
of 2 or 4-stroke cycle;
-
(iii) maximum and minimum washwater flow rate,
inlet pressures and minimum inlet water alkalinity (ISO 9963-1-2);
-
(iv) exhaust gas inlet temperature ranges and
maximum and minimum exhaust gas outlet temperature with the EGC unit
in operation;
-
(v) exhaust gas differential pressure range and
the maximum exhaust gas inlet pressure with the fuel oil combustion
unit operating at MCR or 80% of power rating whichever is appropriate;
-
(vi) salinity levels or fresh water elements necessary
to provide adequate neutralizing agents; and
-
(vii) other parameters as necessary concerning
the operation of the EGC unit;
-
(c) any requirements or restrictions applicable
to the EGC unit or associated equipment;
-
(d) corrective actions in case of exceedances
of the applicable maximum allowable SO2/CO2 ratio,
or washwater discharge criteria;
-
(e) through range performance variation in washwater
characteristics;
-
(f) design requirements of the washwater system.
5.6.2 The ETM-B should be approved by the Administration.
5.6.3 The ETM-B should be retained on board the
ship onto which the EGC unit is fitted. The ETM-B should be available
for surveys as required.
5.6.4 Amendments to the ETM-B which reflect EGC
unit changes that affect performance with respect to emissions to
air and/or water should be approved by the Administration. Where additions,
deletions or amendments to the ETM-B are separate to the ETM-B as
initially approved, they should be retained with the ETM-B and should
be considered as part of the ETM-B.
