A settling tank on a ship is a specialized container used to separate and remove solids and impurities from liquids, typically bilge water or ballast water, before it is discharged. The design allows heavier particles to settle to the bottom, while cleaner water can be drawn off from the top. This process helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations by reducing pollutants and improving the quality of water being released into the sea. Settling tanks are essential for maintaining the ship's operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.

What is a settling tank and how settling tank works?
A settling tank, also known as a sedimentation tank, is a structure used in water treatment processes to remove suspended solids from liquids. It operates by allowing the liquid to flow slowly, enabling particles to settle to the bottom under the influence of gravity. As solids accumulate at the bottom, they form a sludge layer that can be periodically removed, while the clarified liquid flows out from the top. This process is essential for improving water quality before further treatment or discharge.

What is the purpose of the settling tank in a fuel system and what happens in the tank?
Ship fuel is not fed straight into the main engine, as first of all the HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is pumped and then separated into a settling tank (buffer tank). The settling tank is connected to the service tank (day tank). This service tank is filled via a continuous overflow from the settling tank and is also connected with the main engine. The oil is heated in both the settling and service tank to make sure that an even temperature of between +75°C and +90°C (or +167°F and +194°F) is maintained, as this keeps the heavy fuel oil (HFO) at a consistency that can be pumped easily.
