SMART ODME FOR MARINE The Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (Smart ODME) has been designed to provide means of monitoring, recording and controlling the ballast discharge for crude oil, product and chemical tankers including ICE class vessels. This system is modular in construction and does not require the usual pump/motor bulkhead penetration as used on older […]
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The monitor measures particulates in the sample stream on a continuous basis by passing the process fluid through a proprietary photo optical measuring cell developed by Rivertrace. Using a combination of optical recognition algorithms and light intensity it is possible to differentiate between Oil particles, Gas/Air Bubbles and Solid particulates in the […]
SMARTSAFE ORB (Oil Record Book) The Smartsafe ORB (oil record book) Bilge Overboard Security System was developed in response to our customers’ worldwide requests and requirements. This system records the oily water discharge process of any Oil Water Separator (IMO – MEPC 60.33 or 107.49) thus avoiding the common mistakes of manual entries and log […]
SMART BILGE 15PPM OIL CONTENT MONITOR By utilising the “Smart Cell” Detector Array Technology, developed by Rivertrace, the OCM analyses all three oil types (HFO, Diesel and Emulsions) simultaneously without the need for re-calibration. A manual cell cleaning device is included as standard to easily enable routine maintenance. Optical cell fouling is recognised as a […]
Marine IP65 Magnets Designed to withstand the elements and harsh environments, the IP65 rated weatherproof door holder is ideal for marine and outdoor applications. The holder exerts a holding force of 1200N (doors weighing up to 120kg) and is available in 24V DC and 230V AC versions. Robust steel construction. 1200N holding force. Sealed against […]
Principle of heat detectors for ship To find out what a heat detector is, here is the definition of a heat detector. Heat detector is a type of detector that has two types of metal elements that can detect (consisting of two thick strips and a thin strip). Thin strips are more sensitive to temperature rises than […]
Fire prevention considerations on board In the ship’s engine room, patchworks or rags used to clean oil must be equipped with covers. Oily cloth rags should not stay lying in unnecessary places. Majun shelters must be equipped with covers and must be provided on each floor and on both sides of the ship. High pressure fuel oil […]
Causes of fire on the ship Light is produced from fire which has a flicker frequency with characteristics around 25Hz. With the flame detector, the spectrum in the infrared or ultra violet range can be monitored to give an alarm. Fires caused by oil generally will not emit smoke and this type of sensor is more widely […]
Causes of fire on the ship On ships, high-pressure fuel pipes are usually protected and generally leakage on ships occurs in tanks at the bottom of the engine known as leaky fuel tanks. Maintaining this system is very important so that it is always in good condition and usually to avoid leakage, it is carried out […]
Types of fire extinguishers on board The type of fire extinguisher on the ship is adjusted to the potential. Under this there are types of fire extinguishers on ships that ship owners should prepare, including: Soda Acid Fire Extinguisher The main component of this acid soda fire extinguisher is sodium bicarbonate and sulfuric acid. Combined from […]
