SECTION 2 VAPOUR PIPING SYSTEMS

A. Material
A 100 Permanent Piping 101 Piping material to be as required for cargo tank venting system. A 200 201 Flexible Hoses Material of hoses to be resistant to vapours handled. of the size of the ship. 205 Number and Position Four vapour connections are to be provided, two on each side of the ship, with presentation flanges at the same height above the deck as the cargo manifold. One vapour connection is to be located forward of the manifold and one located aft of the manifold on each side of the ship. 206 Labelling The first 1,0 metre inboard of each manifold is to be painted on its exterior surfaces, excluding flange faces. The painted area is to be divided into three bands with the outboard and inboard bands being red and 100mm wide and the centre band being yellow.

202 The hoses are to be capable of withstanding at least 0.14 bar vacuum without collapsing and have design burst pressure of at least 2.0 bar. 203 The hoses are to be electrically continuous with a maximum resistance of 10.000 ohms.

B. Vapour Collection Piping

B 100 General C 100 101 Each chemical-, product- or crude carrier is to have vapour collection piping which is permanently installed, with a tanker vapour connection located as close as practical to the loading manifold. In lieu of permanent piping, chemical tankers are permitted to have a permanent vapour connection at each cargo tank for connection to a vapour hose which should be kept as short as practicable, and in no case longer than 3 metres. 102 If a tanker simultaneously collects vapours from cargoes, which react in a hazardous manner with other cargoes, it is to keep these incompatible vapours separate throughout the entire vapour collection system. 103 Means are to be provided to eliminate liquid condensate which may collect in the system, such as draining and collecting liquid from each low point in the line. 104 Vapour collection piping is to be electrically bonded to the hull and to be electrically continuous. 105 When inert gas distribution piping is used for vapour collection piping, means to isolate the inert gas supply from the vapour collection system is to be provided. The inert gas main isolation valve required in Pt.5 Ch.3 Sec.11 C603 may be used to satisfy this requirement. 106 The vapour collection system is not to disable the proper operation of the cargo tank venting system. However, a vapour collection piping may be common or partly common with the vent piping and/or the IGS piping. B 200 Vapour Manifold

C. Capacity
Pressure Drop Calculations 101 The capacity of the vapour collection system is to be documented through pressure drop/flowrate curves. When calculating pressure drop the following is to be used: Vapour growth rate, (VGR) i.e. increase of flowrate due to vapourization of the cargo: P V, 45 VGR = 1 + 0.25 ------------86.2 Pv,45 =saturated vapour pressure at 45C in kPa abs. Density of the cargo vapour and air/inert gas mixture (va,45): va,45 = [ SGv Vv,45 + Va,45 ] 0.0324 P p/v SGv = specific gravity of cargo vapour. P v, 45 o Vv,45 = partialvolume of vapour at 45 C = -----------P t, 45

Pt,45 = total vapour air pressure at 45C in kPa abs. Va,45 = partial volume of air at 45C = 1 - Vv,45 Pp/v = cargo tank P/V valve pressure setting in kPa abs. Maximum cargo tank pressure of 80% of opening pressure of the P/V valves.
Guidance note: - For oil carriers calculations using mixture density of 3.0 kg/ m3 and vapour growth rate of 1.25 will cover all cargoes the ship may carry. - For chemical carriers mixture density of 3.6 kg/m3 and vapour growth rate of 1.2 will cover all chemicals except those with a Reid's vapour pressure above atmospheric (IBC Code 15.14). For these cargoes additional calculations are needed using values applicable for the actual cargoes. See Appendix B.

201 See also OCIMF's Recommendations for Oil Tanker Manifolds and Associated Equipment (latest edition). 202 An isolation valve capable of manual operation is to be provided at each tanker vapour connection. The operating position of this valve is to be readily determined visually (open/ closed indication). 203 The end of each vapour collection pipe or vapour collection hose is to be readily identifiable to prevent misconnection. 204 In order to prevent the possible misconnection of the vapour manifold to a shoreside terminal liquid loading line, each vapour connection flange is to conform to the applicable industry standard (OCIMF). This provision is applicable regardless

APPENDIX A OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS TO BE REFLECTED IN THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL

A. General
A 100 Procedures 101 Established industry guidelines are to be observed, as applicable, with regard to preparation for transfer, and transfer of cargo and of ballast into cargo tanks. 102 The rate of cargo transfer is not to exceed the maximum allowable transfer rate as determined by the lesser of the following: the venting capacity of the pressure relief valves in the cargo tank venting system divided by a factor of at least 1.25 the vacuum relieving capacity of the vacuum relief valves in the cargo tank venting system the rate based on pressure drop calculations for a given pressure at the facility vapour connection, such that the pressure in any cargo tank connected to the vapour collection system does not exceed 80% of the opening set pressure of any pressure relief valve in the cargo tank venting system.
Guidance note: When the venting capacity is dimensioned for thermal breathing only, we regard the capacity of a P/V breaker required by SOLAS for IG systems, as the basis for venting in the determination of the total permissible loading rate.
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---

103 A cargo tank is not to be filled higher than the level at which the overfill alarm is set. 104 A cargo tank is not to be opened to the atmosphere for gauging or sampling while the tanker is connected to a vapour emission control system unless loading to the tank is stopped, the tank is isolated from any other tank which is in the process of being loaded, and precautions are taken to reduce any pressure in the cargo tank vapour space and prevent an electrostatic spark from occurring. 105 If the tanker is equipped with an inert gas system the isolation valve required in Pt.5 Ch.3 Sec.11 C603 is to remain closed during vapour transfer. 106 Unless equipped with an automatic self-test and circuit monitoring feature, each tank level alarm system required by Section 3B on a cargo tank being loaded, is to be tested at the tank for proper operation prior to the start of cargo transfer.
