BilgMon 488
Bilgmon488 bilge Monitoring & 15 ppm Bilge Alarm
Bilge Monitoring – 15ppm Bilge Alarm
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.
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.
Cheaper to Replace than Repair
When a complete new bilge water separator is delivered to an existing ship or to a new building, the separator already contains a 15 ppm bilge alarm. However, when the 15ppm bilge alarm on an existing ship is broken beyond repair, or repairing the bilge alarm would be almost as expensive as a new one, the best solution is to replace the old alarm with a new one.
Simple to Install
The BilgMon 488 is compact and simple to install as a replacement for most old 15ppm alarms. The ship’s crew can normally do it in less than an hour. A competitive price and immediate availability makes it an attractive choice for any ship having trouble with the old 15ppm bilge alarm.
