Water Storage

• All water tanks should be inspected

on a yearly basis

• Keep the tanks clean All water tanks

should be free from Corrosion and
Sediment

• Maintain Free Chlorine levels

between 0.2 to 0.5 ppm

• Don’t transfer drill water into

potable water tanks

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Breaking containment of a potable water tank should be planned carefully

• Avoid breaking containment if working on sewage

systems or pipe work in same area.

• Avoid breaking containment if working on chemical

or fuel systems or pipework in same area.

• Avoid breaking containment if you do not have the

chemicals available to disinfect the tank post entry
(also are the chemicals in date).

• If plans change reassess the risks to tank

contamination from other work in and around the
tank area

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• Consider the area around the tank
• Consider the tank access
• Consider the other work going on around

the tank

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• Consider the area around the tank

Is there sewage plant nearby that could contaminate
the tank when open.

If the tank access is through the deck should floor
be disinfected before breaking tank containment.

Are there fluid/water leaks around the tank hatch.

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• Consider the area around the tank

Is the tank in an area that there is likely to
be an open deck hatch that can allow rain to
wash debris into the tank ?

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• No Dirty clothing or foot ware to be worn in

tanks. Clothing should not been used for any
other work area

• Maintain a clean changing area around tank
• Disposable Boiler suits, disposable gloves

and masks and new wellies to be worn

• Clean equipment to be used preferably new

each time

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• Suggest using foot bath tray with

hypochlorite solution (250ppm) to
disinfect wellies before tank entry.

• Alternatively use spray bottle to

thoroughly disinfect the outside of
the wellie boot

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Tank Cleaning pumps/hoses

Good hygiene should be observed

• Best to use new pumps and New

hoses.

• Suggest disinfect pumps before use

(250 ppm hypochlorite)

• When hoses not in use Bag ends of

hose to prevent contamination

• Lock away clean hoses and pumps for

use in pot water tanks during
shipyard to prevent contamination

• Think about pump placement and

type of pump – tank entry post clean
to remove submersible pump ?

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Tank Entry

Good hygiene should be observed

• Medic can vet people entering

tanks – no colds / flu /stomach
problems. Workers should not be
suffering from any skin infection or
communicable disorder.

You have persistent diarrhoea

You are suffering from persistent vomiting

You have a prolonged unexplained fever

You have jaundice or hepatitis

You have dysentery

You or a member of your family have been diagnosed with
typhoid/paratyphoid or have a prolonged fever

Do not work on restricted operations if

:

In these cases report to your supervisor

You pose a risk to water quality!

Water Storage – Chlorination Post Tank Entry

• Following tank entry it is good

practice to disinfect the tank.

• This is best done by chlorinating the

tank to between 50 ppm free
chlorine for a period of 12 hours.

• The Hypochlorite should be added

when the tank is between 10 – 25%
full to allow the filling to mix in the
hypo

• This chlorinated solution can be

neutralised by dosing the tank with
sodium thiosuplhate.

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Chlorination Post Tank coating

If a tank has been re-coated /
painted it is good practice to
completely fill the tank during
chlorination so that the surface
of the tank is treated.

It is common for some solvent
release post coating into the
water. This often happens
when rigs move and water gets
splashed onto the roof of the
tanks.

Complaints about funny tasting
water during rough weather?

Water Storage – Chlorination Post Tank Entry

• Try to maintain the

chlorine levels in the tank
at 0.5 ppm in the week
following the disinfection

Water Storage – Sight Glass Contamination

Sight glasses are potential sources of
contamination as bacteria growing within the
sight glass wash back into the tank as the level
drops.

How often do you see a clean sight Glass ?

Water Storage – Sounding Tape Contamination

If using Sounding tapes you should soak the entire
tape apparatus in a solution of 100-ppm Free Chlorine
solution for 2 minutes.

The tape should be stored in a clean storage box . The
color cut paste should be wiped off with a clean cloth
or paper towel

1:37 PM

Water Storage – Dip Stick contamination

Wooden Dip sticks are potentially great
sources of contamination

Replace with Sounding Tapes
(and keep them clean)

Better still use electronic level measurement

• Before bringing Calorifiers back on line

inspect interior and flush out any debris /

Management

Pasteurisation of Calorifiers/Hot Water Systems

Before bringing the tanks back on-line the tank should be drained of any stagnant
water and an internal inspection carried out.

Any sediment/rust should be flushed out of the Calorifier before refilling and
carrying out a thermal disinfection.

1:37 PM

background image

Pasteurisation of Calorifiers/Hot Water Systems

1. The Calorifier must be filled and isolated from the main system by closing the Hot Water flow
and return valves to the tank & the cold feed valve to the tank. Fit warning signage to the
calorifier tank or valves to ensure that personnel know it should be kept isolated from the main
system till the disinfection is completed.

2. The de-stratification (shunt) pump is to be put in manual override to run continuously (if
fitted).

3. The temperature control thermostat to be raised to 75 deg C.

4. On reaching the higher temperature, this must be maintained for one hour.

5. Reset temperature control thermostat to 60 -70 deg.C & return destratification pump (if
fitted) to automatic (timed) control.

6. Allow system to return to normal operating temperature & remove any warning signage put in
place.

7. Open cold feed valve and hot water exit valve and return the system to normal operation.

Pipework Replacement

The type of pipework on site could have
an influence on what grows in the

Some pipework may lead to higher
bacteria growth

Pipework or Valve Replacement

New Materials / New Parts

The internal surfaces of all new pipe, valves, connectors,
and other items of equipment that will be inserted into
potable water lines are to be steeped in a 50 ppm solution
of Sodium Hypochlorite for 60 minutes immediately
prior to use.

1:37 PM

Pipework or Valve Replacement

Existing Materials
The open ends of pipe work or valves or connectors in the
existing potable water system will be treated with a 1%
solution of Sodium Hypochlorite or by wiping with alcohol
impregnated tissue immediately after the pipework
has been opened.

The open ends will then be sealed using clean polythene
bags and tape. Immediately prior to inserting the new spool
or other piece of equipment, the polythene bags will be
removed and the open ends of the pipe work will
be disinfected again.
