SMART BILGE

Brand: Rivertrace Limited

The SMART BILGE 15ppm Oil Content Monitor was developed in 2005 to meet and exceed the requirements for MEPC.107(49) regulations.

The SMART BILGE is made up of 2 key components, the SMART BILGE ‘Module’ and the SMART ‘CELL’ measuring cell.

The SMART CELL utilises a unique Detector Array Technology, developed by Rivertrace, allowing the OCM to analyse all three oil types (HFO, Diesel and Emulsions) simultaneously without the need for re-calibration.

This innovative design allows for simple routine maintenance of the OCM while maintaining optimal conditions.

Optical cell fouling is recognised as a leading cause of monitor malfunction or incorrect reading. A manual cell cleaning device is included as standard to easily enable routine maintenance.

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.
