slop tank

Even with load on top there is still some oil in the discharged water from the slop tank.

The water portion was then discharged, leaving only crude oil in the slop tank.

Pillows are extensively used in bilges and slop tanks where they can be left for extended periods to collect surface oil.

Compulsory slop tanks, incinerators or compactors on board vessels would reduce pollution by other materials.

Oil spills and/ or ships flushing their slop tanks at sea can destroy an entire wintering flock.

Each cargo tank has two and both slop tanks one automated tank cleaning machines as well as holes for portable tank cleaning machines.

The mixture of cleaning water and residue was pumped into a slop tank and allowed to separate by their different densities into oil and water during the journey.

Crude oil is pumped back and preheated in the slop tanks, then sprayed back via high pressure nozzles in the cargo tanks onto the walls of the tank.

On 2 July 2006, the Probo Koala called at Amsterdam port in the Netherlands to discharge the slops contained in the vessel's dedicated slops tanks.

Buffer tank - the existing Refinery slops tank has sufficient capacity to act as the main buffer tank for this project and no changes are envisaged for the tank.

However, the damage to the Exxon Valdez penetrated sections of the hull (the slops oil tanks, or slop tanks) that were protected by a double bottom, or partial double hull.

Marpol Regulations require that "Residue/mixture in a slop tank containing high viscosity of solidifying substances should be discharged to a reception facility" so that the efficient transfer of sludge and waste oils has become even more important.

The valves that direct the ballast water either over board or to slop tank are controlled by the integrated computer, and a GPS signal further automates the process by including special areas and completes the required input for the Oil Record Book.
