Understanding the Construction of the BilgMon 488
The BilgMon 488 is one of the most widely used 15 ppm bilge alarm monitors in the marine industry. Built for reliability, compliance, and ease of maintenance, the system is engineered to ensure accurate monitoring of oil-in-water content in bilge discharges. Its construction consists of two compact but highly specialised components: the MASTER unit and the SENSOR unit, each designed to perform specific roles within the monitoring system.

Stay Compliant: Alarm Integration and Regulatory Requirements for the BilgMon 488
Maintaining compliance with MARPOL and IMO requirements is essential for any vessel operating an oily water separator (OWS). The BilgMon 488 is designed to help shipowners, operators, and service engineers meet these requirements through intelligent alarm handling, integrated monitoring functions, and reliable logging of bilge water discharge events.

Flow Monitoring and MARPOL Compliance: The Importance of the BilgMon 488 Flow Switch
Flow verification plays an increasingly critical role in bilge water monitoring, particularly as environmental regulations tighten and Port State Control inspections become more rigorous. The BilgMon 488 Flow Switch, designed exclusively for use with BilgMon 488 Version 5, provides a new level of operational assurance by ensuring that the bilge alarm only analyses valid sample flow.
