State why oil in boiler water is serious, suggest likely sources, describe how the source is traced and how the whole steam plant is restored to oil-free conditions?

• Seriousness: carry-over damages superheaters/turbines, reduces efficiency, indicates contamination failure
• Sources: oil pumps/filters/heaters leaks, furnace/burner spillage, contaminated condensate from machinery spaces
• Tracing: supervise feedwater quality, inspect potential sources, verify save-alls/gutters, test samples at multiple points
• Restoration: drain/replace boiler water, clean affected areas, verify containment, restore supervision, test/monitor until oil-free
• Governing instrument: IMO Resolution A.1023(26) Chapter 4 §4.4.4, 2009 MODU Code Chapter 4 §4.4.4, UK MSN 1907 Annex 1 Section 34 §5, UK chap10_r101 main §10.4.2.1, UK chap10_r2 main §10.4.3.2
