- Halogen tesed prior to initial transfer
- If within standards (0.2 ppm), no further testing required

21
Q

Ship-to Shore Procedures

A

  • Immerse outlet, rinse fitting in 100 ppm FAC for 2 mins
  • Flush water to waste for 15-30 seconds
  • Disinfect shipboard riser connections with 100 ppc FAC
22
Q

Ship-to-ship

A
  • Both ships disinfect potable water connections
  • Leading water hose has hose cap during high-line procedure
23
Q

Purpose of Potable Water Testing Types

A

Halogen Residual
- Chlorine/Bromine
- Quick indication of water that may be improperly treated to handled
- Absence of halogen may indicate contamination
Bacertiological Testing
- Ensure good for human consumption
- Assess adequacy of disinfection process

24
Q

Water Testing Requirements

A

Published by:
- American Public Health Association (APHS)
- American Water Works Association (AWWA)
- Water Pollution Control Federation (WPCF)

25
Q

Microbiological Quality

A

MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level for COLIFORM bacteria
- Follow EPA MCL

26
Q

Frequency of Microbiological Quality

A
  • Performed weekly
  • Represent sites through-out distribution system
27
Q

Number of weekly activity samples is population dependent

A
  • 400 or less, no less than 4 samples
  • Over 400-800, require 8 samples
  • More than 800 require 12 samples
  • Includes 1/4 of ship’s ice machines and potable water tanks
  • Emergency potable water tested monthly
28
Q

Halogen types

A

Chlorine or Bromine residuals
- DPD #1, test for FAN or TBR
- DPD #4. test for chloramines (total chlorines)
