Analysers & Monitors for Oil in Water

In both marine and industrial applications, there are many systems where detecting the presence of oil in water and measuring its concentration is of great importance. It can be applied to avoid unnecessary oil pollution or indeed detect early indications of a failure where lubricant could leak from one system to another – such as through a heat exchanger.

Oily Water Monitoring Service Contracts

An uncalibrated or faulty oily water monitor can result in operational and unexpected downtime, along with substantial fines or impounding if discharge water contamination exceeds legal limits. 

With a wealth of Oily Water Separator (OWS) monitoring system experience, AtZ are able to fully manage your calibration schedule as well as manage complete system lifecycle through upgrades and extension measures. 

AtZ offer calibration services or annual calibration and maintenance contracts as a flexible, cost-saving option to ensure your systems continues to operate effectively and meets legislation at all times.

MARINE BILGE WATER

Within the marine industry, oily bilge water produced by vessels cannot be discharged overboard without first being processed to remove oils. MARPOL regulations require oil concentration not to exceed 15 parts per million (ppm) and in some cases 5 ppm in the discharged water.

Deckma-Hamburg Oil in Water Monitors

Deckma-Hamburg have long been an industry leader in the provision of solutions for oil in water content measurement, and have a number of products targeted for the segment.

OMD-24

The OMD-24 Series Bilge Alarm Units have been designed specifically for use in conjunction with 15 ppm oil-water separator units and have a specification and performance which exceeds the requirements of the International Maritime Organization IMO specifications for 15 ppm Bilge Alarms contained in Resolution MEPC.107 (49). They can be programmed from the factory for 5 ppm use.

An optical sensor array measures a combination of light scattered and absorbed by oil droplets in the sample stream. The sensor signals are processed by a microprocessor to produce an output. If an alarm (set point form 1 ppm to 15 ppm) occurs, the two oil alarm relays are activated after the adjusted time delay. 

The microprocessor continuously monitors the condition of the sensor components and associated electronics to ensure that calibration accuracy is maintained over time and extremes of environmental conditions.

The OMD-24 requires a 24V power supply and has optional auto clean, valve and flow systems.
