AUS avrowmne vntonnne system Shinko AUS automatic unloading systems have been developed to simplify the unloading of cargo from crude oil tankers and product carriers, and to reduce unloading time The features are as follows: ©The anti-cavitation control operation, which has been undertaken manually by crews, can now be implemented automatically ‘© Unloading time can be reduced since the stripping work can be done by a large capacity cargo pump alone, instead of a small capacity steam driven reciprocating stripping pump. @ As stripping work can be performed automatically, there is no need for complicated operation, skilled judgment. ‘or special attention by crews. @ When applying this system to crude oil washing (COW), sludge control can be also performed @ GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Item Model] ausso0] ausaso] aus4oa] ausass] ausassa| aus 56 | aus sce ‘Cargo pump model applied Kvaoo_| _Kvaso | _Kvaoo | Kvas0 | Kvas09A| Kvas0-4 | KV500-2 Separator wal toe [198 [120 [349 [34s [40s [406 Discharge contol vale Peumatic operated, non tight butterfly valve [Loading air pressure (Pag) 07 Bore (nm) | 300 360 [400 | 450 | 500 | 500 | 650 ‘Vacuum pump ater rng ype ‘Model NSW 80 * oats NSW 100 % 250i5 ‘Maximum capaciy (Nminiset) 220 630 Maximum vacuum (KPay =73 Mator 2aKW X 1200 X Beste ‘7a 1200mIn* % Baste ‘Sealing tank we) 21 029 ‘Gas exiracton valve Pheumalis operated, reverse action piston valve Loading ar (wPas) 06~07 Bore (om) 100 125 Rectroulation valve PPeumatic operated. reverse action piston valve Loading ai (Pas) 06-07 Bore (em) o Ey Generally, the AUS 3002, 3502, 4002, 4532, 4532, 4542 or 5022 are employed in product carriers, and are provided with one set of a vacuum pump unit for each cargo p jump respectively. And the AUS 4542 is provided with one set of the NSW 80 vacuum pump unit instead of two sets of the NSW 100 vacuum pump units.@Separator ‘The separator is installed on the suetion side of the cargo ‘pump. Its a tank to separate gas coming from the bell mouth and the vapors produced in the suction pipe A level transmitter is fitted on to it ‘The level transmitter measures the liquid level in the separator ‘and converts this information to an air signal which controls the opening and closing positon ofthe gas extraction valve, the start and stop ofthe vacuum pumps, and the opening position of the discharge control valve. @Discharge Control Valve ‘The discharge control valve is « butterfly valve to control discharge flow of the cargo pump. It is controlled automatically by an air signal sent from the level transmitter on the separator. ‘On the valve stem end, there is a valve position transmitter ‘hich indicates the opening position of the valve to the cargo, control room. @Gas Extraction Valve ‘The gas extraction valve is a pneumatic operated piston valve and is controlled by an air signal sent from the level transmitter on the separator. ‘This valve is in the same system as the automatic start and stop circuit of the vacuum pumps. And, it opens when, the separator level is less than 50%, and closes when it retumns to 70% or more. @Vacuum Pump Unit ‘The vacuum pump unit, installed in the pump room, consists of two vacuum pumps and a sealing water tank ‘The vacuum pump is a water ring type. It sucks gas and. ‘vapour separated in the separator, and discharges them into the slop tank: If the control switch on the cargo console is set to "AUTO", the vacuum pumps start with a time lag of 30 seconds from each other using the sequence switch and the time-lag replay. ‘The sealing water tank is a tank to supply sealing water to the vacuum pumps as well as to separate the sealing water and gas or vapour inside of it, @Recirculation Valve ‘This is a pneumatic operated piston type valve installed on the inert gas supply line intended to blow off the vacuum pump exhaust line, It opens and closes by the control circuit ‘of the vacuum pumps and the gas extraction valve. @Carego Control Console ‘The cargo control console is provided with several instruments such as switches, selectors and manual loaders to automatically and manually control the discharge control valve, the vacuum pumps, and ‘gauges ete. 10 indicate the liquid level in the separator and the valve position in order to operate the system satisfactorily.@ CONTROL SYSTEM ‘This system has been installed to implement automatic cargo unloading with only cargo pumps to prevent not only cavitation but also gas and vapour intake. ‘The basic operation of this system is described as follows: 1. After starting the cargo pump, on the cargo control console: (1) The NOR/CLOSE selector, which acts on the gas extract valve. is set to "NOR". (2) The control switch, which acts on the vacuum pumps, is set to "AUTO". (3) The AUTO/MANUAL selector, which acts on the discharge control valve, is set to "AUTO". ENGINE vacuum pow UNIT2. When approaching the final unloading stage, the cargo liquid level in the cargo tank lowers and part of the cargo becomes vapour, which accumulates in the upper portion of the separator, ‘and the separator Tevel begins to lower. 3. When the separator level lowers to 50%, the vacuum pumps start from an air signal sent from the level transmitter. ‘At the same time, the gas extraction valve is opened and the discharge control valve is throttled. ccARGOcONTHOL CONSOLE DISCHARGE CONTROL vAVE mm cr 2010 ert) SS ores er 4. When the vapour is extracted by the vacuum ‘pumps, the separator level rises again, TE the level rises to 70%, the gas extraction ‘valve closes. And, in 20 seconds, the vacuum ‘pumps stop and the discharge control valve ‘opens. 5. The above-mentioned unloading process is repeated many times so as to prevent the vapour from entering into the cargo pump ‘when the vapour accumulates in the separator 6, When the level in the cargo tank lowers further, 2 vortex takes place around the suction bell mouth and gas is taken in. ‘This gas is separated from the cargo in the separator, and is accumulated at the upper portion of the separator, which is the same process as with the vapour. 7. Ifthe level in the cargo tank lowers much further, the liquid level around the bell ‘mouth fluctuates heavily and a large amount of gas is taken in. ‘The separator level lowers substantially even if the two vacuum pumps continue to run simultaneously and the discharge control valve is at a very small opening degree. If the separator level reaches 5%, the orange ow level lamp on the console turns on to indicate thatthe unloading process has entered into the end of the stripping stage. 8. When this condition continues for about 3 ‘minutes, the orange stripping finish lamp 6 the console flickers with a buzzing sound, mn of the which indicates the completi unloading work using this system.@ DESIGN & MATERIALS eiaepacese Ti] SEPARATOR sea] seo] ‘Aa | LEVEL TRANSMITTER = = 1 The separator has a volume enough to separate vapour |AS_| GASRELEASE VALVE | GASTIRON | _FCZ00_| 1 and gas mixed in the eargo, and has a strainer to prevent As | DAAN VALVE 4 | foreign matter coming into the cargo pump. ‘as_| STOP VALvE TREES | sess When handling high pour point cargo, a hot water or ‘Ait_| STOP VALVE oT steam line is employed to wash the pressure sensor pons) STRABER NETS ae caesoa| Bs lines in the level transmitters for the separator to prevent Separator internal coating the liquid from getting sticky inside after unloading ite Mee pon cota gout ‘ Ef asta TR gg at Diners woe fe] @l@lalelelole|ele|*|-l«]-|™|»lol|*lolalzie HR [|B | ee | so [so [sm [200] eon [30] sr [ an | ee] woo] es | os [seo [== [om [en | woo] | ar | no Anse [0] | seo | 00 [a0 [ eo [21] eon 120] sar | so | veso] eno] 7] 25 [emo | evo ao0 | ra | esol wo | a7 | 0 Abate [250] % [0 | 10 | eo [os | sean] 700 [100 ee [sor] s00| 0] v9] ze [om | oo [soo] 50 | eo] vm | se | wo si [| % | ro | axe |r [eo {sso eco [230| aot | m0 00 | en0| 10 a5 [oxo | cor | «on m0 | esol sen | | reo ‘n2853, [eve | [roo | em | 0 | ow [oon] eso |2t0n| eo | rao [100 [to] wre | os | ae | ee | ao | v00| 0] 120] [700 Aus [eo | % | reo | ae | eo [om [se] eon [io ar [co | 5020] oes] ae [em | esr | son] 20 | wo] 10 | o> [100 7s [700] [eo | ene [as [aso [2c] eco [220] oot | eo [aw vo |rov | ae [om [cor [on [see [reco] ve0 | = [no@Discharege Control Valve ‘The discharge control valve is a non-tight and driven butterfly valve with a Imm clearance between the valve body and the seat ring. 7] 0oY cASTIRON] FORO] 1 2 | vaweose easaonstes:| —sasc_| 4 3. | SEATAING STEEL_|s5100__| 1 s | sew SENS suse | + oe | YaSeaEe - = [4 2 | rosimioen Socal coerce 3 | LOCK VALVE = = [4 4 |_soosTER RELAY = =| 5 FILTER REGULATOR 7 Sariay eo | SPEED CONTROLER = = [2 e1e_| STOP VALVE arenas | cxcwe [1 250 W4sER_ sauce 18 18 Air B.rauPes Vana ir 020. 1NPaG rive sTaINuess STEEL OVERLAY ae a Blane! air fS one-0.1nese & es + Dimensions: mm mele ll lel tle oan [205 | Sst| 0 [as a0 os] a2 [as v2 avo | WO | 00 00 | 200 | 205 | 04612 | 425 | 250| 76 55905 | Yor | 210 | WO | 60 00 | ee0 | 360 On| ¥2| 490 | S05 oe 6a ea 162 |e | 15 a0 350590 S60 ouT| 12 | 400s oss 605 ase [a [5 [700 eo 880 [360 on | 12 [a0 [3 oe 795 a5 22 ae 15 70 350690 <2 [oat] 12 | a00| 30574 vo [so | a as ts | aD 700 eno 200812 S103 || 765 sa 22 as Ys 160@Vacuum Pump Unit ‘The vacuum pump unit is constructed in a way that a sealing ‘water tank is set in the center on the common base plate and ‘two vacuum pumps on both sides of the sealing water tank ‘The vacuum pumps are driven by electric motors in the engine room through intermediate shatts.
