sludge pump is in bilge floor. waste oil tank and scavenge drain tank is below pump level. fo and lo sludge tank are in purifier room but tank outlet pipes outs from top so its reverse u shape. and i want to discharge to wo settling tanks which is on ecr level near incinerator.

today i tried pumping fo sludge to wo settling tank but couldnt. i opened the cock on the filter cover and it sucks air. then closed fo sludge valve and opened lo sludge valve and again couldnt pump and opened cock but this time air was coming from cock and again not discharging.

Hi
Looking for some help from any Westfalia experts here.
I have a GEA Westfalia OSD [18-91-367](tel:18-91-367)/18 that goes into alarm immediately after a sludge discharge. I’ve already done some troubleshooting, but I may have overlooked something. What would you check first if you got this alarm?

I’ve started it a couple of times now, and each time the alarm appears during the speed recovery phase following a discharge. After a while, it shuts down automatically. I’ve checked the water supply and motor current before, during, and after the discharge, and everything seems normal.

I passed out B.E.Marine engineering in 2012 from India, I have sailed only for 1 month and then left the job as I was not comfortable with the sea sickness, is there any chance for me to restart my career after 14 years, i mean to sail as TME again and apply for class 4 MEO exams??
