Which statement is true concerning drain inspection tanks?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of drain inspection tanks in steam/condensate systems on tankers • Why visual examination of condensate is important around cargo-heated spaces • Difference between collecting drains vs. where they are discharged

💭 Think About

• Think about WHY an inspection tank would be installed instead of just piping drains directly back to the condensate or feed system. • Which source of contamination is most critical on a tanker with cargo heating coils? How would you detect it before it reaches the boiler? • Look at the wording of each option: which one describes a PURPOSE (what it’s for) versus a LOCATION or a SPECIFIC SOURCE only?

✅ Before You Answer

• Which option clearly mentions visual checking or monitoring rather than just routing or collection. • Whether an inspection tank would reasonably be limited to only one type of drain on the ship. • Whether it makes sense for a potentially oil‑contaminated drain to go straight back into the condensate/feed system without any prior check.

Which statement is true concerning drain inspection tanks?

Inspection tanks collect all HP drains.

They collect condensate from the cargo tank heating coils only.

They are discharged to the condensate system just forward of the feed pump.

Inspection tanks provide for a visual examination of condensate which could be oil contaminated.
