The time is not the separation period between two ejections which, if you are cleaning HFO you are correct with 3600 secs (never run a separator on HFO for more than 1 hour, ever) Timer 21 monitor's the SMS and should prevent an ejection in the time period of 10 minutes when it is stabilising from the last ejection. I know this is old but I have a lot of time and if I don't have a hull or machinery to obsess over I will go mad.Īssuming you are aware that SMS is the sludge monitoring system it appears that timer 21 is set to 10 minutes.
