  STARTING PROCEDURE check the air bottle pressure and drain  the air bottle for any condensate moisture. Open air  bottle filling  valve. Open compressor air discharge valve, Check compressor sump oil level, Open compressor air cooler cooling water inlet and outlet valves, Purge out cooling water area -jacket etc, Open drain valve of each stage, Crank the compressor by hand a couple of times. Make sure compressor body is free from any other foreign materials,  Start the compressor, RUNNING CHECKS: close the air cooler air side stages drain valves, starting from 1st stage. Check compressor lub oil pressure and cooling water pressure, Drain each stage cooler and air bottle at regular intervals of 5 mints. Check crankcase and all stages coolers for over heating, Check for any abnormal sounds, Check the air pressure and air temperature of air receiver and every stage of compressor. STOPPING PROCEDURE: when air bottle attained the required pressure Open the air cooler drain valves (startin

  Valves: Manifold valves Tank valves  Drop valves  Crossover valves  Where its fitted   Manifold Valves: These valves which are constructed in lines flow to the connecting flanges. Master valves: At each line where a fore and aft pipe lines passes through a tank sich hand operated valve is fitted in the line, these are known as master valves. Tank valves: The Valve which is  close to each bell mouth is located as valve which controls the flow of oil into and out of the tank. Drop valves:  Each main line has one or two drop lines and drop valves control the flow of oil in those line. Crossover valves: Athwart ship tank line joining the line are known as a crossover lines and the crossover valves separating the main line from other as well as separating individual tanks.

 Switch on the electrical motor  Wait ror 10-15 mint for the purifier to reach it's operational speed (check the ammeter for load on the motor,the current will reduce once the the purifier reached it's operational rpm) Supply sea water( sealing water) by open the sea water line valve. Check the water outlet of purifier, if the water seal is formed. Now close the sea water valve (sealing water) Supply the oil into purifier (through the heater if it is heavy oil or lub oil) Open the operating water line,and keep the line on,. Now purifier is in operation, absorb the oil delivery through the oil line by looking at the sight glass. SLUDGE OUT PROCEDURE. Close the supply of fuel (also heater) Form the seal. Open de-sludge water by opening the valve. When you hear the hissing noise and see the loas on the motor while high,  shut the de-sludging valve.  That means de-sludging  has been carried out. Now absorb for the motor to be in it's normal load this means the purifier is ready
