Rivertrace SMART Bilge-monitor – 15 ppm bilge-alarm

What is it?
The Rivertrace SMART Bilge Monitor is an advanced electronic sensor specifically designed for reliable detection of oil in bilge water with a 15 ppm alarm threshold. The system is designed to help ships comply with international environmental regulations by continuously monitoring oil content. Thanks to its robust design, the monitor withstands harsh onboard conditions and is suitable for a variety of maritime and industrial vessels.

How does it work?
The SMART Bilge Monitor uses advanced measurement principles to accurately determine the oil content in bilge water. The system operates continuously and immediately triggers an alarm when the oil concentration exceeds the set threshold of 15 ppm. The sensor is low-maintenance and designed for easy installation and operation. Its modular design allows for quick replacement or calibration without shutting down the bilge system.

What problems does it solve?
Preventing oil pollution via bilge water is essential to limit environmental damage and comply with strict international laws and regulations. The SMART Bilge Monitor prevents unnoticed discharge of excessive oil concentrations, which could lead to heavy fines and environmental harm. By providing reliable and continuous monitoring, the system helps shipping companies operate safely and in an environmentally responsible manner.
