Throughout the Mark 6M version of the Oilcon, VAF Instruments has created a solid and reliable product that they can easily take pride in. High quality and heavy duty are two of the keywords that will pop into your mind when you work with this ODME. Being what is probably the most well-built ODME available, the Oilcon Mark 6M is always a safe choice when you must install or replace an ODME.
Since the ODME is an onboard requirement, the threat of detention is very real – a threat that could end up resulting in delays and unplanned extra cost for the operator. Intentional or unintentional compliance often reaches astounding penalty amounts from several thousands to millions of $. Negligence can also lead to probations, and if made public will typically result in increased scrutiny and governmental check-ups in ports. In some cases it has led to jail time for the offending crew.
We offer certified ODME solutions and installations that meet and exceed regulations – including the latest amendments to MEPC MARPOL’s requirements for monitoring and controlling of ballast water.
The ODME principle is based on a measurement of oil content in the ballast water, which is held up against the regulations and requirements. By data interpretation of an automated process, either allows or prevents discharge of ballast water. A sample point on the discharge line allows the analyzer to determine the oil content of the ballast water in PPM. The analyzer is self-maintained by periodical cleansing with fresh water, and therefore requires a minimum of active maintenance from the crew.
The results of the analyzer are sent to a computer, which determines whether the oil content values are to result in overboard discharge or not. The valves that direct the ballast water either over board or to the slop tank are controlled by the integrated computer. A GPS signal further automates the process by including special areas and completes the required input for the Oil Record Book.
The ODME systems offered by Insatech Marine are equipped and operational according to IMO MARPOL. It means the ODME system is supplied with type approval certificates and the MEPC specified spare parts list. It is to safeguard the ODME from regular wear and tear and in the unlikely event of a breakdown. The spare parts are delivered when the new ODME is installed, together with consumables for planned maintenance.
Sample Point, The point where the discharge water sample is taken from for analysis
No matter how good your equipment is, it is not worth much, if it has not been installed correctly, malfunctions or the crew lacks training in its daily operational use. At Insatech Marine we ease the operator’s job by applying our maintenance and service expertise to ODME systems. This way we free hands onboard, and make cost on maintenance easier to foresee and budget. Furthermore, we offer to manage and maintain both spare parts stock and certificates of the ODME system, in order to ensure continuous compliance.
Our comprehensive and flexible service program and plan is customized to your specific needs, and ensures constant compliance. Choose whether to let us take care of installation, service, certificates and spare parts, to always secure optimal monitoring and maintenance of the ODME installation, as well as ensure IMO compliance at all times. Or if you want to manage parts of the maintenance yourself the service plan will be made based on what each party is responsible for. The complete service package will release a discount on all future retrofits and larger operations on the ODME system.
ODME requires an annual check and calibration each 5 years to ensure the system is IMO compliant. While we can conduct the mandatory calibration at your preferred destination or between routes, we are located in Denmark. Thus if you happen to pass through Danish waters completing a calibration at sea while reducing travel time will minimize both down time and service costs.
