It is certain that the fuel tank is leaking, but it is definitely not easy to find the real leak point. The thick layer of insulation material in front of you is the first obstacle.
Zhang Yujie came out of the main engine cabin, thought for a while and turned to the manager on duty behind him: "Now you go do these few things!"
"Commander-in-Chief, what do you say?" The manager on duty nodded.
Zhang Yujie thought for a while and said: "First, notify me immediately and find all the personnel on duty on the ship, except those who are in necessary positions!"
"Okay, I'll notify you right away!" The manager on duty immediately whispered to the supervisor on the side, "You have heard what the commander-in-chief said, hurry up and call someone!"
"Second, notify the engineers in charge of the fuel tanks and main engine room, as well as the person in charge of the position, to come over as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" The manager on duty nodded.
"Third, you personally lead people to prepare all necessary fire-fighting measures. Fire-proof clothing, hoses, and fire extinguishers are all ready. You must take countermeasures!"
"Fourth, notify the shipyard security department and duty room to be ready to request support from the fire department at any time. In addition, oil blocking tapes must be deployed on the sea around the Blue Whale to prevent oil pollution from flowing out!"
"I'll make arrangements right away!" According to Zhang Yujie's words, this matter was obviously much more serious than he thought, and the manager on duty also walked in a hurry, which can even be described as running.
After a while, with the sound of hurried footsteps, more than a dozen people on duty hurriedly came outside the cabin. Everyone still didn't know what happened, and they were still whispering and asking questions. However, seeing the actions of Han Dongdong and others in the passage,
Obviously something happened.
"Commander-in-Chief, except for the personnel on duty at necessary positions, all personnel on duty on the Blue Whale are here!"
Commander-in-Chief? Everyone seemed a little confused, but when they saw Zhang Yujie coming out, they were instantly dumbfounded. Why did the Commander-in-Chief come to the ship in the middle of the night and what was he doing?
"This is not a daily drill. Cheer up!" Zhang Yujie frowned and shouted, "During the inspection just now, we found that there may be an oil leakage problem in the fuel tank. You should immediately take fire prevention measures.
!”
"All fireworks are strictly prohibited here. Everyone must be careful in their movements and be careful of static electricity and other ignitions!" Zhang Yujie added.
Hearing what the commander-in-chief said, everyone immediately became more vigilant. No one would make fun of their own lives. They all prepared fire-extinguishing equipment and were ready. Han Dongdong was also holding a large fire extinguisher at this time, ready to fire at any time.
It's like being on the verge of battle.
Fortunately, Fuhai Group has provided adequate training for its employees. Everyone needs to know how to use various firefighting equipment. Zhang Yujie is very satisfied with this.
"Commander in Chief, what shall we do next?" the supervisor asked Zhang Yujie in a low voice.
"Wait for the engineers to come!"
Although Zhang Yujie is the commander-in-chief and the chief engineer of the group, he is not familiar with the specific situation of the fuel tank in front of him. The person in charge and the engineer must arrive and carefully study the location where leakage may occur before the problem can be solved.
The person in charge and the engineer were awakened by a phone call in the middle of the night. When they heard that there was a problem with the fuel tank, they rushed towards the dock without saying a word.
When several people came to the main cabin panting, they found that Zhang Yujie was also present, and knew that this matter was somewhat serious.
"The night shift inspector found signs of oil leakage in the fuel tank. Come and take a look!" Zhang Yujie told the seriousness of the matter neatly, and then handed over the gloves that had just been stained with diesel.
"It's diesel!" The engineers looked at each other and saw the word crisis in each other's eyes.
They immediately came to the fuel tank and checked in the direction pointed by Zhang Yujie. They confirmed that there was indeed a leak in the fuel tank, but they could not determine the specific location.
"What is your plan?" Zhang Yujie asked.
"First clean out all the fuel inside the fuel tank, then clean up all the insulation material outside, and then look for possible leaks!" The engineers immediately formulated a work plan.
"Very good, just follow this procedure. The speed must be fast. The host load test will be conducted in one day. As long as this hidden danger is not eliminated, the test cannot be carried out. You should know what the consequences will be."
Zhang Yujie preached.
"We know!" The engineers smiled bitterly. They didn't expect that something that hadn't happened in a century would actually happen. Why did the fuel tank leak?
No matter what, the hidden dangers must be eliminated.
Everyone started to get busy. First of all, all the fuel in the fuel tank must be removed. Otherwise, if there is a slight problem with so much diesel, it will cause a tragedy.
Since all the fuel in the fuel tank has been processed and cannot be put back into the oil depot, it can only be extracted out. Zhang Yujie immediately called in a tanker truck, and the staff on duty began to lay oil pipes and temporarily store all the fuel in the tank.
The oil is stored in temporary oil tanks on the deck and then pumped into the oil tanker for storage. Care must be taken in every step.
Everyone on the Blue Whale was watching with fear, and even had to lift it gently when walking, for fear of any problems. The hands of the staff holding various fire-fighting equipment were sweating, and they did not dare to make any comment.
god.
After working for most of the night, all the fuel in the fuel tank was cleaned up. Zhang Yujie, who was watching closely, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that although the most dangerous time was over, the most difficult time had just begun.
How can we find the leaks hidden under the insulation material?
The insulation material attached to the bulkhead of the fuel tank was installed through strict operations. It was originally for long-term stability, but now it has to be completely removed in just a few days. You can imagine how difficult it is.
The most important thing is that judging from the dripping oil stains, this vulnerability may not be too big. If you want to find it, you can only use a magnifying glass to carefully observe it inch by inch.
Pieces and layers of insulation material were removed from the bulkhead of the fuel tank, filling the entire corridor.
"Clean all these things away, and notify the installation department. Once the hidden dangers are eliminated, the place will be restored to its original state immediately!" Zhang Yujie said.
Installing these insulation materials is not an easy task, and dismantling them is even more difficult. Han Dongdong, who helped with the disassembly, muttered while carrying the materials: "If I had known, I wouldn't have to make them so strong!"
"If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have had to work all night long!" The worker on the side shook his head.
"That's right. If this kind of thing didn't happen, we wouldn't have to be here!" Han Dongdong chuckled.
After all, everyone worked very quickly. While cleaning the insulation material on the bulkhead, they sent all the damaged and scrapped materials to the deck, and then used a crane to send the Blue Whale out. A garbage cleaning truck on the dock also
I drove it here to ensure there will be no pollution.
