The Boiler Research Subcommittee of the Marine Engineering Society in Japan (MESJ) has surveyed the prospect of autmatic water treatment for marine auxiliary boiler by the use of the questionnaires to marine engineers, which included the questions for present situation and future demand regarding the water treatment.
Requirements of energy conservation and labor-saving has been increasing year by year since the oil crisis, and moreover, recently, mixed-crew vessels have increasing rapidly. Responding those trends, most of answers desire the introduction of automatic techniques for some items of water quality control, particularly in continuous monitoring. The answers show also, however, that some items do not necessarily require the introduction of automatic control. There is the analysis of questionnaire shows that it is desirable to introduce not the full automation systems but an effective automatic techniques for some important items of water treatment. The authors would be glad if this paper could be helpful to the the people concerned with automation of water treatment.
