The SPECS Atmospheric Oil Mist Detector (AOMD) is an advanced fixed oil mist detection solution designed for continuous monitoring of airborne oil mist in marine and industrial machinery spaces. The system helps detect abnormal oil mist concentrations at an early stage, enabling operators to take corrective action before hazardous conditions develop.
Oil mist can be generated by lubrication oil leaks, fuel systems, hydraulic equipment, mechanical failures, or oil coming into contact with high-temperature engine components. If not detected promptly, excessive oil mist can increase the risk of machinery fires, equipment damage, and unplanned vessel downtime.
The SPECS AOMD continuously monitors the surrounding atmosphere using advanced infrared optical detection technology. When oil mist concentrations reach preset alarm levels, the system provides rapid visual and audible alarm indications and can transmit signals to the vessel’s Integrated Automation System (IAS), Alarm Monitoring System (AMS), or Engine Control Room.

Advanced Infrared Oil Mist Detection Technology
The SPECS Atmospheric Oil Mist Detector (AOMD) uses advanced infrared optical sensing technology to continuously monitor airborne oil mist within marine engine rooms and machinery spaces. Its high-sensitivity detection system accurately identifies increasing oil mist concentrations, providing dependable performance even in demanding marine environments.
By delivering continuous real-time monitoring, the system enables early detection of lubrication oil leaks, fuel system faults, hydraulic leaks, and overheating machinery. This proactive approach helps reduce fire risks, protect valuable equipment, and improve overall vessel safety.
Continuous Engine Room Monitoring & Early Warning
The SPECS AOMD continuously samples the surrounding atmosphere and measures oil mist levels against preset alarm thresholds. When abnormal concentrations are detected, the system immediately activates visual and audible alarms, allowing crew members to respond before hazardous conditions escalate.
Its rapid response capability supports safer engine room operations by minimizing the risk of machinery damage, operational downtime, and engine room fire incidents. Continuous monitoring also enhances crew awareness and improves preventive maintenance planning.
Reliable Protection for Marine & Offshore Applications
The SPECS AOMD is suitable for commercial ships, offshore platforms, FPSOs, tankers, bulk carriers, container vessels, and industrial facilities where continuous atmospheric oil mist monitoring is essential. Its robust construction ensures stable performance in harsh marine operating conditions.
By providing early warning of hazardous oil mist accumulation, the system helps protect critical machinery, improve engine room safety, reduce maintenance costs, and support compliance with international marine safety standards, making it a trusted solution for modern marine operations.
Seamless Integration with Marine Automation Systems
Designed for modern vessels, the SPECS Atmospheric Oil Mist Detector integrates easily with Integrated Automation Systems (IAS), Alarm Monitoring Systems (AMS), and Engine Control Room (ECR) through reliable communication interfaces such as RS-485 and RS-422.
This seamless integration enables centralized alarm management, real-time monitoring, and efficient system diagnostics. Operators benefit from improved situational awareness and faster decision-making, helping maintain safe and reliable vessel operations.
