The VAF Instruments OILCON Mark 6M is a marine Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System (ODME) developed for oil tankers. It continuously samples ballast water being discharged overboard, measures the oil concentration, calculates the instantaneous oil discharge rate and total quantity of oil discharged, and provides control functions for the vessel’s overboard discharge system.
Features
- Continuous oil-in-water concentration measurement
- Wide 0–1000 ppm measuring range
- Scattered-light optical detection technology
- Calculates instantaneous oil discharge rate in litres per nautical mile
- Calculates total quantity of oil discharged
- Monitors overboard ballast-water flow rate
- Uses vessel speed and position information
- Automatic monitoring and control of overboard discharge
- LCD touch-screen operator interface
- Internal operational and discharge data recording
- USB data export capability
- Supports multiple sample points
- Alarm and system-failure monitoring
- Designed for international marine pollution-prevention compliance.
