Diesel Fuel Oil B 3.8.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.3.2 REQUIREMENTS Once per 92 days, the stored fuel oil is sampled in accordance with ASTM D4057-88, (Ref. 7) and analyzed to establish that the viscosity limits specified in Table I of ASTM D975-88 (Ref. 7) are met for stored fuel oil. The 92 day period is-acceptable because fuel oil viscosity, even if it was not within stated limits, would not have an immediate effect on DG operation. This Surveillance, in combination with thefuel oil delivery certificate of compliance, ensures the availability of high quality fuel oil for the DGs.

Fuel oil degradation during long term storage shows up as an increase in particulate, mostly due to oxidation. The presence of particulate does not mean that the fuel oil will not burn properly in a diesel engine. The particulate can cause fouling-of filters and fuel oil injection equipment, however, which can cause engine failure.

Particulate concentrations should be determined in accordance with ASTM D2276-89 (Ref. 7), Method A3. This method involves a gravimetric determination of total particulate concentration in the fuel oil and has a limit of 10 mg/l. It is acceptable to obtain a field sample for subsequent laboratory testing in lieu of field testing. For the BNP design, the total volume of stored fuel oil is contained in more than two interconnected tanks. Therefore, each tank must be considered and tested separately.

The Frequency of this test takes into consideration fuel oil degradation trends that indicate that particulate concentration is unlikely to change significantly between Frequency intervals.

The acceptability of new diesel fuel oil is verified by the use of a certificate of compliance for each new fuel oil delivery. The certificate of compliance includes certification of each of the ASTM 2-D fuel oil properties included in Table 1 of ASTM D975-88 (Ref. 7) and API gravity are within required limits. Therefore, the acceptability of new fuel oil for use prior to addition to the storage tanks is determined by verifying that the new fuel oil has not become contaminated with other products during transit, thus altering the quality of the fuel oil. This ensures new fuel (continued)

Fuel Oil Diesel Diesel Fuel Oil B 3.8.3 BASES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.3.2 (continued)

REQUIREMENTS oil quality is maintained consistent with that identified in the certificate of compliance. Once the verification is satisfactorily completed, the fuel oil may be added to the storage tanks without concern for contaminating the entire volume of fuel oil in the storage tanks.

Failure to determine the acceptability of the new diesel fuel oil is cause for rejecting the new fuel oil, but does not represent a failure to meet the LCO since the fuel oil is not added to the storage tanks.

SR 3.8.3.3 Microbiological fouling is a major cause of fuel oil degradation. There are numerous bacteria that can grow in fuel oil and cause fouling, but all must have a water environment in order to survive. Removal of water from the fuel storage tanks once every 31 days eliminates the necessary environment for bacterial survival. This is the most effective means of controlling microbiological fouling.

In addition, it eliminates the potential for water entrainment in the fuel oil during DG operation. Water may come from any of several sources, including condensation, ground water, rain water, contaminated fuel oil, and from breakdown of the fuel oil by bacteria. Frequent checking for and removal of accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data regarding the watertight integrity of the fuel oil system. The Surveillance Frequency is established by Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref. 2). This SR is for preventive maintenance. The presence of water does not necessarily represent failure of this SR, provided the accumulated water is removed during performance of the Surveillance.
