Question 3692 Deck General

70% to pass

On a MODU, a fire pump may be used for other purposes if _______________.

A all other services are operated by a manifold near the pump
B a separate fire pump is available for use on the fire main
C the other services are run off a reducing station with a pressure gage
D All of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) a separate fire pump is available for use on the fire main. On a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), the fire pump may be used for other purposes besides firefighting, but only if there is a separate dedicated fire pump available for use on the fire main system. This ensures that the fire pump is not overloaded and can still provide the necessary water pressure and flow rate for firefighting in an emergency, even if the fire pump is also being used for other services. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully meet the requirement of having a separate dedicated fire pump. Option A does not specify a separate fire pump, option C does not mention a separate fire pump, and option D tries to combine all the other options which do not individually satisfy the regulation.
