DIESEL FUEL LOADING OPERATION

4.

The diesel fuel oil is delivered to the POL tank farm by a
tanker ship which anchors off shore and connects to a flexible
line at the marker buoy.

This flexible line, in turn, is -

connected to a steel submarine pipe which delivers the diesel

fuel oil to dehydrators Nos. 1 and 2 through valve V-2, strainer
Sl, pressure regulator V3, and valves V4 and V5.

Salt water

in the submarine line is drained back into the lagoon through
valve V-1.

The entrained water is separated and drained off

at the dehydrators Nos. 1 and 2 and the diesel oil then goes
to deaerator No. 1 through valves V8 and V9 and pilot operated
motor valves V6 and V7, where the entrained air is separated
and vented to the atmosphere,

The diesel fuel then leaves the

deaerator and passes through Meter M-1, valves V13, V1, and
V15 to the main diesel loading header, and is delivered to the
tank loading header through valve V23 and liquid level control

valve L-1 and thence through valves V2/ through V28 into tanks
1 through 5 respectively.

The diesel fuel is delivered to

tanks No. 304 and 305 from the main diesel loading header
through valves V38, V39 and V42, and to tanks 153 through 158

through valves V41, V34, V36.

During the loading operation

valve V1 is opened and valve V2 closed until the excess water
has been drained from the submarine line; then valve V1 is
