Description
A 15ppm Bilge Alarm is normally used in connection to a ship’s oil filtering equipment (also known as “bilge water separator”), monitoring the oil content of the separated/filtered water and stopping the discharge into the sea if the oil content exceeds 15ppm (parts per million). The 15 ppm bilge alarm type “BilgMon 488” is type approved for this purpose according to latest IMO Rules MEPC.107(49).
Furthermore the 15ppm bilge alarm can in principle be used as a simple oil content alarm for other applications where the water does not contain solids or other substances disturbing the operation.
