Modern vessels need reliable safety systems to detect airborne oil mist and reduce engine room fire and explosion risks. The QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection System (AOMD) continuously monitors engine rooms, machinery spaces, and generator rooms, providing early warnings before hazardous conditions develop. Unlike crankcase detectors, it monitors the surrounding atmosphere to protect personnel, machinery, and shipboard equipment.
SMTS Marine Solutions LLC supplies, installs, commissions, calibrates, repairs, maintains, retrofits, and supports QMI AOMD systems worldwide, helping shipowners and offshore operators improve safety and reduce downtime.

Advanced Optical Detection Technology
The QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection System (AOMD) utilizes advanced optical sensing technology combined with a continuous air sampling system to monitor airborne oil mist within marine engine rooms and machinery spaces. Air is drawn from strategically positioned sampling points through dedicated sampling lines into the detection chamber, where suspended oil mist particles are analyzed for concentration. When measured values exceed the configured warning or alarm thresholds, the system immediately generates visual and audible alarms while transmitting alarm signals to the vessel’s automation, monitoring, or integrated alarm system. This rapid detection capability enables engineering personnel to investigate oil leaks, overheating equipment, lubrication failures, and other abnormal operating conditions before they escalate into fire hazards or major machinery failures.
Intelligent Marine Monitoring and System Integration
Designed for continuous operation in demanding marine environments, the QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection System features intelligent self-diagnostic functions that continuously monitor system health, sampling performance, communication status, and alarm circuits to ensure dependable operation. The system integrates seamlessly with ship automation systems, engine control systems, and centralized alarm panels through relay outputs and communication interfaces, allowing real-time supervision of engine room safety conditions. Its modular design supports flexible installation, retrofit applications, routine calibration, preventive maintenance, and future system expansion, making the QMI AOMD a reliable long-term solution for commercial vessels, offshore platforms, power plants, and industrial machinery spaces requiring continuous atmospheric oil mist monitoring.
Key Advantages
The QMI AOMD delivers continuous 24/7 atmospheric monitoring that helps identify hazardous oil mist accumulation at an early stage. Early warning allows engineering teams to detect oil leaks, overheating machinery, lubrication failures, and abnormal operating conditions before they become major safety risks. This improves engine room safety, reduces fire and explosion hazards, minimizes unexpected machinery failures, lowers maintenance costs, supports preventive maintenance programs, and increases vessel reliability.
Its robust marine-grade construction ensures dependable performance under vibration, humidity, and harsh marine environments, while seamless integration with ship automation systems enables centralized monitoring of alarms and system status. The QMI Atmospheric Oil Mist Detection System also supports retrofit installations, making it an ideal upgrade for existing vessels requiring enhanced engine room safety.
