<strong>BilgeEconomiser</strong><br />
An economical addition to<br />
your oil-water separation<br />
system
<strong>BilgeEconomiser</strong><br />
Detect clean drains and economise your oil-water separation<br />
A small issue<br />
with big outcome The <strong>BilgeEconomiser</strong> is an easy to operate standalone<br />
oil monitor with automatic and manual 3-way<br />
Aboard every ship, so called ‘clean drains’ are treated valves and is installed after the discharge pump of the<br />
in oil-water separation systems and strain machines clean drain holding tank. As long as the oil content of<br />
and resources. These clean drains usually consist of the clean drain is below the set discharge limit value,<br />
leakage of and condensate from equipment used for it is discharged directly overboard. Whenever the oil<br />
seawater, fresh water, steam, air conditioning, etc., content exceeds the set limit value it is diverted to<br />
which are usually not contaminated by oil.<br />
the bilge holding tank for further treatment by the<br />
oily water separator.<br />
Based on the IMO guidelines for ‘Integrated bilge<br />
water treatment systems“ (IMO MEPC.1/Circ.642),<br />
<strong>RWO</strong> has developed the <strong>BilgeEconomiser</strong>.<br />
The <strong>BilgeEconomiser</strong> allows ship operators to dis-<br />
charge so called ‘clean drains’ overboard without any<br />
further treatment.<br />
As a consequence the bilge water volume handled<br />
by the oily water separator is much smaller, which<br />
reduces not only operating cost significantly.<br />
Your advantages<br />
Increased cargo capacity due to smaller<br />
bilge holding tank<br />
Fewer operations of OWS required<br />
(not allowed in certain areas/ports)<br />
Smaller oily water separator (reduced capex)<br />
Increased maintenance intervals and<br />
reduced labour cost<br />
