Oil content above 200 ppm recirculation destination?

Oil content above 200 ppm recirculation destination?

• A. OWS
• B. Feed Water Tank
• C. Oily Waste Holding Tank
• D. Purifier Bowl

Answer: (C)

When the oil content of the effluent from the oily-water separator is too high (above a set threshold like 200 ppm), the system stops discharging overboard and routes the mixture to a storage place designed for oily waste. That destination is the Oily Waste Holding Tank, where oily bilge water and other oily residues are kept until they can be treated or disposed of properly on shore. This keeps the environment safe and complies with discharge regulations. The other options aren’t intended for this purpose: the Feed Water Tank stores boiler feed water, and the Purifier Bowl handles purification of specific oils rather than bilge water.
