These oily water separators utilize the Rivertrace Smart Cell Bilge Alarm. The Smart Cell Bilge Alarm has been designed specifically for use in conjunction with 15 ppm oily-water separator units. It has the specification and performance which meets the requirements of the International Maritime Organization specifications for Bilge Alarm Units contained in Resolution MEPC.107(49).
Rivertrace Smart Bilge 15 PPM Oily Content Monitor
Rivertrace Smart Bilge Oil Content Monitor
The Rivertrace “Smart Cell” oil content monitor meets the requirements of MEPC.107(49) for monitoring three oil types: HFO, Diesel, and Emulsions. By utilizing the “Smart Cell” Detector Array Technology, technology developed by Rivertrace, the oily content monitor (OCM) analyzes all three oil types simultaneously, without the need for re-calibration. A manual cell clean device is included as a standard, to easily enable routine maintenance. Optical cell fouling is recognized as a leading cause of monitor malfunction or incorrect reading. By simple operation, of the manual clean device, the Smart-Cell remains in optimum operating condition. Replacement calibrated measuring cells can be purchased for easy change over on board the vessel and calibration check kits enable the crew to demonstrate the monitor is within factory calibration to PSC Surveyors.
The Rivertrace Smart Bilge Monitor has been designed specifically for use in conjunction with 15ppm oily water separator units. It has a specification and performance which meets the requirements of the International Maritime Organization specifications for Bilge Alarm Units contained in Resolution MEPC.107(49). Analysis of the oily water sample is undertaken by a unique detector array arrangement. A narrow beam of light is emitted across a glass cell tube through which the oily water sample passes through. Light scattered and transmitted is detected across the array and passed through a complex oil content calculation algorithm. The resulting oil content is then displayed on the LCD screen. The Rivertrace Smart Bilge Alarm is readily available as a 5 ppm version if required. It can also be tailor made for Hazardous Environments (Zone 1 & 2) as an Exd system with Auto Clean, all enclosed in an explosion proof cabinet.
To meet the new requirements of MEPC.107(49) an onboard flash memory, real-time clock, dual switch input, and clean water/sample selection valve are fitted.
When ordering spares, it is important to supply details of the type of monitor, serial number of monitor, part numbers of each spare required, its description, and any other relevant information.
