Oily Water Separator (OWS)
What is Oily Water Separator (OWS)?
An Oil Mist Detection System (OMDS) is a safety system used in marine engines to detect the presence of oil mist in the crankcase. Oil mist can form due to leaks, overheating, or improper lubrication, and it is highly flammable. If not detected and addressed promptly, it can lead to catastrophic engine failures, including crankcase explosions.
Function and Operation
Continuous Monitoring
The OMDS continuously monitors the concentration of oil mist within the crankcase of the ship’s engine. Oil mist can form due to high temperatures, friction, or oil leaks within the engine.
Sensors
Specialized sensors are installed in the crankcase. These sensors detect the tiny oil particles suspended in the air, which form a mist.
Alarm System
When the concentration of oil mist reaches a certain threshold, the system triggers an alarm to alert the ship’s crew. This allows them to investigate the issue and take corrective measures before the situation escalates.
Automatic Shutdown
In more advanced systems, if the oil mist concentration reaches a dangerously high level, the OMDS can automatically shut down the engine to prevent a potential explosion. This shutdown mechanism is crucial in preventing serious damage to the engine and avoiding catastrophic accidents.
Installation and Commissioning
Before installing an Oil Mist Detection System (OMDS) on a ship, our specialists meticulously plan the placement of sensors within the engine crankcase, ensuring they are accessible, visible, and strategically located near critical areas such as the main bearings and crankshaft. We then establish the necessary electrical connections and integrate the alarm system with the ship’s control system. After installation, we rigorously test each sensor's accuracy, configure the system's settings, and validate its performance through comprehensive scenario testing to ensure that the alarm functions correctly and the system can effectively prevent engine failures.

Fellow Kogyo Focas 2000
The Focas 2000 operates automatically using sample water pressure, synchronized with an oil separator or pump. It features automatic washing, error code indicators, and stain detection alerts for hassle-free maintenance. Equipped with dual safety alarms and a replaceable sensor, it guarantees reliable detection and easy upkeep.
Brannstrom Bilgmon 488
The 15ppm Bilge Alarm, like the "BilgMon 488," is designed for ship oil separators, monitoring discharge and stopping it if oil content exceeds 15ppm to ensure compliance with IMO Rules MEPC.107(49). It can also function as an oil content alarm in other clean water applications.
Rivertrace OCD SMART Bilge 15 PPM Monitor
The Smart Bilge Alarm by Rivertrace utilizes advanced "Smart Cell" Detector Array Technology, enabling the OCM to analyze three oil types—HFO, Diesel, and Emulsions—simultaneously without the need for re-calibration. It offers a cost-effective solution, and its measuring cell can be easily replaced with a pre-calibrated one, available for purchase here.
