🔍 Key Concepts

• Bilge systems on offshore drilling units (MODUs) – purpose of low side vs. high side pumps • Types of pumps and systems on a drilling unit: what each is normally used for (bilge, mud, ballast/preload, fire/main seawater) • Eductors (jet pumps) – how they work and when they are useful if a pump has poor suction or is too high above the water level

💭 Think About

• Which system is specifically designed to move dirty water from the hull or machinery spaces, and can still work when suction lift is a problem? • Which listed systems are normally dedicated to circulating drilling fluids or ballast, and may not be appropriate or allowed for bilge service? • Think about what equipment can use pressurized seawater to create suction at a lower level, even if the main pump cannot directly lift the water.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which system is intended for dewatering bilges or flooded compartments, not for drilling mud or ballast only. • Check which option can create suction using another water source (Venturi/jet effect) instead of relying on the pump being close to the bilge. • Eliminate any systems that are normally dedicated to mud circulation or preload/ballast rather than emergency dewatering.
