Abstract
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, MalaysiaHeat treatment of ballast water is one of the many treatment options being explored. This analysis has tried to assess the heat availability from the cooling water, exhaust gases of the engines and steam condensers based on design and operational data obtained from an existing crude oil carrier. Time requirements for ballasting and treatment using the seawater and condenser circulating pumps are projected. Heat balance exercises were also carried out on a testbed engine to verify attainable heat recoveries. It is seen that, although considerable heat is available, a longer time than that available during ballasting and normal ballast passages will be required for the treatment process.
