How Does SMART BILGE Work?
The SMART CELL uses advanced Detector Array Technology to analyze oil contamination in bilge water. The technology is designed to detect different oil characteristics, including Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), diesel, and emulsions, without requiring recalibration between different oil types.
During operation, bilge water passes through the measuring cell while the system continuously monitors the oil concentration. This real-time measurement helps operators identify changes in oil content and supports controlled and compliant bilge water discharge.
SMART BILGE 15ppm Monitoring & IMO MEPC.107(49)
The 15ppm Oil Content Monitor is an important part of a vessel’s oily water management system. IMO MEPC.107(49) establishes requirements associated with oil filtering equipment and oil content monitoring arrangements used for machinery-space bilge water.
The Rivertrace SMART BILGE provides continuous oil-content monitoring to support vessel environmental management and bilge water discharge procedures.
SMART BILGE Flexible Monitoring Solutions
SMART BILGE+ 5ppm Version
The SMART BILGE+ is available in a 5ppm alarm configuration for applications requiring additional monitoring capability, including selected DNV Clean Design applications.
Automatic Cell Cleaning
An optional pneumatic autoclean system helps keep the measuring cell clean and reduces manual cleaning requirements.
Flow Switch Protection
The optional flow switch monitors flow through the measuring cell and can provide additional protection against inappropriate discharge when flow is interrupted.
GPS Integration
GPS connectivity can support recording of discharge-event locations and integration with digital vessel records.
Overboard Flow Meter
An optional flow meter can record the total volume of bilge water discharged, providing additional discharge information.
SMART CONNECT Integration
Digital connectivity options can support the transfer of bilge discharge information for electronic Oil Record Book (E-ORB) applications.
Hazardous Area Installation
Explosion-protected cabinet configurations are available for selected hazardous-area applications, including Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations.
