Replacement Options for 15ppm Bilge Alarm/Monitor
For replacing a 15ppm bilge alarm/monitor, top-quality brands include:
These models are designed for easy installation and onboard cell replacement, ensuring full compliance with IMO regulations.
IMO Regulations on Bilge Water Discharge
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates that bilge water discharged into the ocean must contain less than 15 parts per million (15ppm) of oil to prevent marine pollution.
Function of a 15ppm Bilge Alarm/Monitor
Installed alongside Oily Water Separators (OWS), these monitors continuously track oil content in the discharged water. If the oil concentration exceeds 15ppm, the system automatically stops the discharge to prevent non-compliance.
Key Features for Replacement
Onboard Cell Replacement – All leading brands provide easy replacement of the measuring cell, either with a pre-calibrated unit or through calibration check kits.
Compact Design – These monitors are space-efficient and designed for seamless integration with both new and existing Oily Water Separators (OWS).
Ease of Installation – Designed for quick and simple installation by the ship’s crew, typically requiring less than an hour.
Type Approval – All models are IMO type-approved, ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations.
