Environmental compliance is a critical requirement for modern tanker operations. Effective monitoring of oily water discharge helps shipowners and operators maintain compliance with international marine pollution regulations while ensuring reliable onboard operation.
SMTS MARINE SOLUTIONS LLC provides professional Rivertrace Smart ODME solutions, installation, calibration, maintenance, troubleshooting, retrofit, commissioning, and spare parts support for tankers and marine operators.
Reliable Smart ODME Systems for MARPOL-Compliant Tanker Operations
What is Rivertrace Smart ODME?
Rivertrace Smart ODME is an advanced Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment system designed to continuously monitor and record oil content in discharged water from tanker vessels.
The system provides real-time monitoring of oil concentration and discharge-related parameters, helping operators control oily water discharge in accordance with applicable IMO and MARPOL Annex I requirements.
Smart ODME is suitable for applications including:
- Crude oil tankers
- Product tankers
- Chemical tankers
- Other vessels requiring oil discharge monitoring
- Marine environmental monitoring applications
The system is designed for dependable operation in demanding marine environments and supports efficient onboard monitoring and data management.
Regulatory Compliance
Smart ODME systems are designed around applicable IMO requirements, including:
- MARPOL Annex I
- IMO MEPC.108(49)
- Oil discharge monitoring requirements
- Marine environmental compliance requirements
Key Features
1. Real-Time Oil Discharge Monitoring
The Smart ODME continuously monitors oil concentration in discharged water, providing operators with real-time information for effective control of tanker discharge operations.
2. Automatic Clean Water Calibration
The system incorporates clean-water calibration functionality to assist with maintaining measurement accuracy and reliable monitoring performance.
3. Integrated Self-Test Function
Built-in testing functions allow important system components to be checked efficiently, helping engineers identify potential faults during maintenance and troubleshooting.
4. Simulation Mode for Inspection
Simulation functionality can assist crew and service engineers in demonstrating system operation during testing, verification, and inspection activities.
5. Simple 3-Button User Interface
The intuitive interface allows crew members to navigate essential functions without complicated operation procedures, helping reduce training requirements.
6. Data Logging and Retrieval
Smart ODME records important operational information for monitoring, verification, and reporting purposes. Data can be retrieved through the system interface and transferred for further analysis and documentation.
ODME Data Logging, Reporting & Communication
Data recording is an important technical function of modern Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment. Smart ODME records relevant operational information that can be retrieved for monitoring, inspection, and reporting purposes.
Recorded data can be accessed through the system interface and transferred to a PC for further analysis and documentation. Compatibility with Rivertrace IMOL software provides additional functionality for data management and report generation, helping ship operators maintain organized ODME records for vessel operations, audits, and inspections.
Calibration, Self-Test & System Verification
Smart ODME incorporates technical functions that assist with calibration, system verification, and routine testing. Clean-water calibration can be performed to maintain measurement accuracy, while the integrated self-test function helps engineers check important system components.
The system’s simulation mode can also be useful during maintenance, commissioning, troubleshooting, and inspection preparation. Regular calibration and verification help maintain dependable measurement performance and support the vessel’s environmental compliance requirements.
