🔍 Key Concepts

• Crude oil washing (COW) versus traditional water washing on tankers • How residual oil and waxy deposits respond to different cleaning mediums • The meaning of solvent action compared to simply mechanical or temperature effects

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: what special chemical or physical property does crude oil have, when sprayed under pressure, that plain water does not? • Think about sticky, waxy, high-viscosity residues on tank bulkheads—what tends to dissolve or loosen them more effectively? • Consider which choices describe something that is unique to crude oil washing and not normally a standard feature of water washing systems.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option refers to a chemical/solvent-type action rather than just more of the same mechanical effect. • Confirm whether higher pressure or higher temperature are inherently exclusive to crude oil washing, or if they can also be used with water washing systems. • Make sure the choice you pick reflects the distinct advantage most often cited in tanker operations manuals and training materials for crude oil washing.
