🔍 Key Concepts

• Study the flow path on GS-0153 from the bilge suction, through the pump module, into the separator tank, and out to the discharge. • Identify which components/valves actually control flow rate during normal "processing" mode versus which affect only separation quality. • Consider how a mechanical problem (like pump wear) differs from an operator/valve setting problem in terms of how they change throughput.

💭 Think About

• Looking at the schematic, which numbered items are directly in the inlet line to the separator, and which are on the recirculation/bypass or oil discharge lines? • During normal processing mode, which single component is supposed to meter and limit how much bilge water enters the separator so it doesn’t overload? • Would a higher concentration of oil in the mixture automatically change the pump’s delivery rate, or only affect how well the unit separates before discharge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify on the illustration which item is the flow control valve and where it sits relative to the pump and separator tank. • Check which valve numbers the manufacturer’s scheme shows as open only for start-up/filling versus which stay open during continuous processing. • Ask yourself: which option describes a condition that would directly reduce the actual flow rate (gallons per hour) through the separator, not just the separation efficiency.
