INTRODUCTION
This specification sets out the requirements for the installation of an Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitoring & Control System
on board a typical tanker.
It should be studied carefully before actually commencing any operation or work.
For operation and maintenance of the system the Technical Manual should be consulted.
For the purpose of installation the system can be divided into four categories;
The exact location of the separate elements within these categories will vary from ship to ship but the specific location of
some units relative to others is important.
In addition to safety precautions which must always be strictly observed for work in hazardous spaces, installation
undertaken at sea with the ship underway require additional precautions.
* It is recognised that for some vessels the pump room and engine room are not adjacent. If this is the case, it will be
necessary to mount the electrical equipment in some other suitable non-hazardous space adjacent to the pump room.
** Again, some vessels may not have a cargo control room. If this is the case, some other convenient area must be
identified, such as the navigation bridge, the engine room or the accommodation area.
1 UTILITIES
For operation of the Oil Discharge Monitoring & Control System the following utilities are required:
An nn-interrupted supply of fresh water free of any contamination is important for a correct operation of the ODME
system, as the freshwater is used to keep the pipework and the windows of the detection cell clean and to perform a Zem
check prior to operation of the system.
Fresh water supply conditions:
For a trouble free and satisfactory operation of the pneumatic components in the ODME system a supply of clean, dry air
at a constant pressure is essential.
SECTION 1
SECTION 1
2 PIPEWORK GENERAL
All pipework for water services should be of a suitable material and capable of withstanding working pressures of up to 16
bar. The pipework has been standardised at 15mm O D with a minimum wall thickness of 1 mm.For example:
(ASTMBIII-69 alloy 706 - or BS 37812871 type CN 102-0).
Air signal pipework should be copper, and generally be 6 mm OID x 4 mm ID.
The exception in this sizing is the air supply for the window wash pump mounted on the skid, and shown as V12. These
lines are 8 mm O D x 6 mm IID. (ASTMB75-68 alloy I22 - or BS 2871/1971 type (2106-0).
Pipework must be clean and oil-free prior to fitting, and care must be taken to ensure all joints are leak tight.
Failure to ensure this will adversely affect system function, particularly ifair leakage is evident on pump suction lines.
Ideally all joints should be made using brazed couplings. If piping is being installed during a sea passage then compression
fittings may be used. These couplings should be of a salt water resistant material, and the use of stainless steel compression
- mav.be necessarv if a non-flared tube end techniaue is used to make the ioints. Mild steel couplings
rines . - must not be used.
Pipework must be adequately clipped and supported, and shall not impose any strain or force on equipment, e.g. pump or
skid assembly. Pipework must also be protected in exposed situations. In those cases where the water discharge from the
ballast skid Hi takkn to a slop tank, if the ship has an inert gas system, a loop-seal arrangement must be fitted in the
discharge line to prevent contamination being forced back down the line. Also measurements must be taken to prevent the
discharge from free-falling into the tank. This is usually achieved by diverting the flow against the bulkhead ofthe tank.
CAUTION: Before the system is put into operation or tested all pipework shall be flushed and cleared from dirt or
foreign matter.

The sample pump unit comprises a pump, bulkhead mounting flange with integral gas-tight shaft seal and a flange mounted
motor. For this purpose a hole of diameter 290 mm is to be made in the bulkhead wall. The pump unit shall be fitted to the
bulkhead utilising the welding ring as supplied with the pump. This ring shall be welded to the bulkhead wall. For the
location of this hole verify with the pump dimensional drawing that there will be no obstacles, and that the pump unit can
be accessed for maintenance. Maintain sufficient free space around the motor for free air circulation to cool the motor.
Ifpossible, the unit should be located below all proposed sampling points and as central to these locations as possible. Care
should be taken to ensure that under all operational circumstances a zero or positive pressure is present at the suction side
of the pump.
The joints of the suction line must be air-tight, otherwise air leakage will occur causing reduced pumping and monitoring
performance. If air leakage is considerable, the pump may fail to prime or pump at all.
It will be observed that a length restriction has been placed on the sample pipes (refer to section 1, chapter 6.4 pipework
response time calculation). This is for two reasons:
a) To ensure that the total response time of the system is less than 40 sec., as required by the legislation. In fact, since
the instrument response time is less than 15 seconds and the sample velocity in the specified pipework is 0.9 mls,
there is some margin here.
b) To ensure that the sample pump is not faced with excessive negative suction pressure due to high pipe losses.
SECTION 1
WARNING: In the case of an installation at sea, where the pumproom constitutes a hazardous area, precautions for hot
work as laid down by the owner must be strictly observed.
At the selected location a hole of diameter 290mm is to be made in the bulkhead wall. The installer should note that in
some circumstance it may be necessary to construct a 'top-hat' device, to artificially extend the pumproodengine room
bulkhead around the pump/motor assembly while the hole is being cut and the mounting flange fitted.
Weld-on the welding ring, make sure that the bolt holes are in X-position. These holes are not to be in +-position !
The gasket shall be placed in between the pump main plate and the welded ring.
For easy installation do not fit the oil reservoir yet.
Before connecting the system piping to the pump, the unit is to be securely fastened to the bulkhead. Long or heavy piping
sections shall not be supported from the pump but by separate supports.
Install the oil reservoir and top up the reservoir with the supplied oil.
WARNING: The oil reservoir shall always be sufficiently filled with oil, as the proper functioning of the gas seal
located in the centre of the pump main plate relies on the presence of oil, for lubricating, sealing and
cooling purposes.
Verify the power supply, this is to match the data as shown on the electric motor nameplate. Earthing is to be carried out
utilysing the earthing bolt located inside the terminal box, this before the motor is connected to the mains.
CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE PUMP BE RUN WITHOUT LIQUID. THE PUMP
CASING MUST BE FILLED WITH LIQUID FIRST OTHERWIZE THE PUMP WILL SEIZE AND
DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
a) SELF-PRIMING
The pump will not function or prime until the casing is filled with liquid. Make sure any discharge valve is opened
before starting, enabling air to be released. Running the pump with zero capacity will cause excessive system
pressure, heat generated in the pump and may overload the electric motor. Make sure any system valve should be
fully opened when the pump is being started or stopped.
b) DIRECTION OF ROTATION
This can be seen or checked from the motor side only. Make sure that all piping is installed, and the pump is filled
with water. Switch-on the pump unit for a short moment only ! Look at the motor fan and notice the direction in
which the fan spins. This must be CLOCKWISE, when looking from the back cover of the motor. An arrow also
indicates correct direction of rotation. If direction of rotation is wrong, interchange any of two line wires of the power
cable in the terminal box.

SECTION 1
The skid is normally located in the pumproom and is mounted on the pumproodengine room bulkhead. The unit should be
positioned above the sample pump, but should be kept below the level of the sampling probe points wherever possible.
This is to ensure full pipework and provision of adequate suction pressure for the pump.
The skid is provided with four mounting points, drilled to accept 12 mm bolts.
A sample should be fitted between the pump discharge and the skid to facilitate the taking of grab samples for analysis.

WARNING:
In the case of an installation at sea safety precautions must be observed while drilling operations take place. In the case
where welding is not permitted a saddle clamp arrangement can be utilised. This type of probe arrangement should only be
viewed as temporaly and arrangements should be made to weld the probe in place at the next opportunity.
Two sample points are supplied with the monitor, for location at the selected points on the relevant overboard discharge
lines and contains the following:
- a pneumatic operated valve for selection of the sample point;
- a sample probe to take the sample from the discharge line.
Each probe is supplied with a compression fitting which can be welded to the pipeline. Each probe is supplied with a hand
valve.
Positioning of the sample probe within the pipeline is most important. To prevent excessive quantities of air being drawn
- into the sample pump, the probe should ideally be mounted in a rising vertical pipe section. This will ensure that provide
water is being pumped - the main pipe is always filled. Where it is not possible to mount into a vertical pipe then a
horizontal section may be used and the probe located as shown in Drg. 0806-1265-4. VAF Instruments recommend that
whenever possible the sample probe be installed on the upstream side of the orifice plate.
In any case the probe should be located upstream of any diverting line to the slop tank.

SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
The orifice plate is a square-edged, concentric bore type, manufactured in stainless steel. It is designed to be clamped
between two flanges, within the PCD of the flange bolts. Working pressure is up to 24 bar and working temperature is up
to 290 degrees Celsius. Width is 3 nun on this vessels line size. In such cases where a bevel is machined on the bore of the
plate, the aide with the bevel on should be facing downstream when installed.
The singlz most important consideration, when installing an orifice plate type flowmeter is the amount of straight pipe
available on each side of the orifice plate. It is appreciated that long lengths of straight pipe are not common in the average
pumproom, but it is essential that the flow through the orifice plate is not turbulent. The only way to achieve this is, have a
long smooth approach to the orifice plate. The minimum recommended length of straight pipe upstream of the plate is 10
pipe diameters and downstream of the plate, is 5 diameters. Within these distances there should be no bends or obstructions
such as valves. The effect of reducing these distances is to considerably reduce the accuracy of the flow metering system.
The accuracy of the flowmeter is limited to +I- 15 % and this is easily achieved at high flow rates. However, at low flow
rates, an orifice plate type flowmeter rapidly becomes inaccurate such that the accuracy limit of +I- 15 % is reached at
about IllOth of the maximum flow. If the orifice plate is not installed with adequate lengths of straight pipe, the effect is to
reduce the effective measuring range of the flowmeter and to produce a widely fluctuating signal.
The orifice plate should be mounted in such a position so as to ensure a full pipe at all times, which is usually best achieved
in a vertical pipe. The pipeline downstream of the sensor must be arranged to ensure that no siphoning effect is possible.
To prevent siphoning in horizontal installations, the discharge line must rise by at least l'xpipe diameter above horizontal
centre line. The rise should be so arranged that it is located at least 5x pipe diameters after orifice plate.
It must be stressed that if above installation requirements cannot be met, VAF Inst~umentsshould be consulted for advice.
VAF Instruments cannot held be responsible for any flow metering system installed incorrectly or without due
consultation.
The orifice plate is installed between the flanges using jointing material of 1.5mm thickness. Two pressure tapping holes :-
are required, one each side of the orifice plate. For pipelines larger than 25mm diameter, it is advisable to weld a threaded
boss to the pipeline. For lines less than 25 mm diameter the pipe itself can be drilled and tapped. In both cases, the hole
must be threaded for %" BSP. The boss upstream of the orifice plate must be sited 1 pipe diameter from the centre-line of
the plate. The boss downstream of the orifice plate must be sited % pipe diameter from the centre-line of the plate. In the
case of a vertically rising line, the bosses can be sited at any position on the circumference of the pipe. In a horizontal line,
the bosses must be sited on the horizontal centre-line of the pipe.
Reference drawings:
SECTION 1
The electronic differential pressure transmitter is a two- wire transmitter which converts the differential pressure developed
by the flow sensor into a 4-20mA signal.
Select a location for the transmitter that is close to the flow sensor, not exceeding 16 metres and where the ambient
temperature will not exceed 90 degrees Celsius nor be less then -40 degrees Celsius. The location should be as free from
vibration as possible.
The transmitter must be mounted so that the measuring element is vertical. A mounting bracket and U-bolt is supplied to
mount the instrument on and is suitable for either pipe or surface mounting. For pipe mounting, the bracket accepts from
30mm up to 60 mm diameter pipe and can be positioned on a horizontal or vertical pipe.
The differential pressure sensing lines from the flow sensor are coupled to the transmitter's 3-way manifold using 114"
NPTl10 mm couplings which are supplied.
The 3-way manifold contains isolating valves and a equalizing valve.
The pressure sensing lines must be routed with a minimum gradient of 1 in 10 fall after an initial fall from the pressure
tapping points of 300 mm. The lines should be adequately clipped. Two isolating valves are supplied, one end threaded

NOTE: In hazardous zones with explosion proof requirements the covers must be tightened with at least 7 turns. In
hazardous zones with intrinsically safe or non-incendive requirements, the circuit entity parameters and
applicable installation procedures must be obsewed. Cable access to wiring connections is obtained by one of
the two cable conduit outlets. Conduit threads should be sealed by means of code approved sealing methods.
The unused outlet connection should be plugged accordingly. Refer to section 3.3 of this section for further
information.
Reference drawings:
Great attention has been paid, during the design of the Oilcon monitor, to minimise the number of bulkhead penetrations
which must be made and to make the total installation as simple and as straightforward as possible.
Nevertheless, there remain two sets of penetrations which must he made.
The requirements for mounting this pump have been detailed in Section 2.1 of this manual
The recommended method for making these penetrations is, using a proprietary transit system, for which approvals have
- I
been obtained. Such as the Multi Cable Transit system.
It is anticipated that the penetrations will usually be made with standard 6 mm and 10 mm pipe provided with a pipe
connector at each side.
When the Oilcon installation is required to be proven with oil injection, a commissioning engineer must make c o ~ e c t i o n s
to the air supply line V11, on both sides of the bulkhead. The installers are therefore requested: To make at least the V11 i
bulkhead penetration using a 6 mm pipe connector, one on each side of the bulkhead penetration. Note that these
components are outside VAF's normal scope of supply.

For general information. the communication cable between the Elecuo Pneumatic Unit and the skid has a nominal 0.5mm2
diameter. 7 cores of 2 twisted nairs with an overall screen. (EG Helkama RFE-HF60V)
The communication cable makes use of the same cable transit system as is used for the air pipelines to ease installation of
the system.
d BEFORE OPERATION
It is vital to ensure that the equipment supplied exactly meets your needs and that it is certified for a safe use in you?
expected operating conditions. For the components such as the measurement cell and EPU items of equipment are I
certified.
See section 5 for certification standards.
All circuits are connected to the energy limiting circuits within the EPU. These circuits limit the voltage by means
redundant zener diodes, all connected to the same earth connection. The current is limited by means of resistors. Each
circuit is thermally protected by means of a fuse.
The ratings of the circuits to the measurement cell is such that even in case of an total short circuit of all the circuits
together, the energy within that short is still within non-ignitive intrinsically save energy levels (including a safety factor of
1,s) The additional position detection circuits are separated from the circuits to the measurement cell. The EPU contains
two other energy limited circuits for connection to the approved Dpll sensors. These circuits are separated from the
aforementioned circuits.
SECTION 1
WIRING PROCEDURE
Before making wiring work, be sure to tum OFF the main power, cables, cable glands and plugs certified in accordance
with the considered zone must be used.
More, whatever the protection mode, only use plugs or cable glands with a protection degree of at least IP 65
be sure that the cable diameter complies with the selected cable gland,
tight the cable gland in accordance with supplier's instructions,
never forget to mount the covers and tighten then correctly.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The replacement of components can only be done by a person trained to act on equipment intended for use in potentially
explosive atmospheres.
Spare parts must only be genuine parts supplied by VAF Instruments.
During installation there is no need to operate the system and thus to switch the Electro Pneumatic Unit on.

SECTION 1
All cables should be run on cable trays and should be secured to the tray by clips which will not damage the cable
sheathing. Metal clips are not recommended, unless coated with a suitable buffer material such as nylon or PVC.
All screened cables should be run on a separate cable tray, if possible.
Under all circumstances screened cables must be kept segregated from AC power cables, at a minimum distance of 0.5
metres.
All cables passing through bulkheads should be led through an approved gas-tight bulkhead penetratiodgland.
To avoid signal fouling due to electro magnetic induction, all braided copper screens on the screened cables should be
connected at one end only, in the engine room. All exposed braids should be suitably trimmed and finished so that all
braids end inside the cable gland, and no braids should enter into the cabinet.
Make sure the temperature rating of the cables connected to the EPU should at least be 70 "C.
The supply cables connected to the EPU should be secured in such a way that no connection can
be made with the signal cables
For correct installation a suitable isolation switch shall be installed in the supply line as near as
possible to the equipment. Maximum fuse current 16A.
Cable terminations for individual conductors should be finished with a pin terminal crimped on the conductor
Cables are not supplied by VAF Instruments, unless specifically ordered.
P ALL WIRING CONNECTED TO EPU FROM THE HAZARDOUS ZONE MUST BE CONNECTED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH DRAWING 0806-0005 IN ORDER TO ENSURE INTRINSICALLY SAFE CIRCUITS
REMAIN SAFE
The Electro Pneumatic Unit is of sheet steel conshuction, it is mounted onto a steel frame which carries the pneumatic
section of the assembly. It is normally situated in the engine room on the engine roodpumproom bulkhead, opposite the
skid mounted in the pumproom.
This unit has both electrical and pneumatic connections, the electrical cables being run through the base of the cabinet to
internal connectors. Suitable cable glands are provided for in the base of the cabinet.
The pneumatic connections are located in the right hand side of the cabinet mounting plate and are suitable for 6 mm 0.d.
and 10 mm 0.d. pipe.
Mounting is by means of six holes drilled to accept 8 mm bolts.
Should the mounting side selected be subject to excessive vibration, anti-vibration pads or stiffeners should be installed to
reduce this to an acceptable level.
The shxter box is used to switch and control the electrical supply to the sample pump motor and contains a relay and
thermal relay to protect the pump for overheating. It may be mounted to any suitable location adjacent to the Electro
Pneumatic Unit or pump motor. The unit is mounted by four holes which accept 4 mm bolts.

This unit is normally mounted in the cargo control room and may be fitted into an appropriate space in one of the cargo
control consoles, or wall mounted via a suitable wall mount box.
The main control unit is suitable for mounting into a 19" rack system
SPEED INPUT
The Main Control Unit is designed to accept a voltage free pulse signal from the ships log or a similar device. Input pulses
can be either 100,200 or 400 pulsesM.mile.
OVERBOARDVALVECONTROL
The overboard valve is controlled by the MCU to achieve this the MCU is provided with a double pole switchover relay
contact (Discharge control relay) to control the discharge valve
operation. The valve feedback signal must be connected to the appropriate input terminal at the back of the MCU.
In case of system failure the AutoMan relay contact can be used to override the MCU command, to switchover to manual
operation. The relay contact is controlled by the keyswitch on front of the MCU.

" Guidelines and specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for tankers."
Category A : Tankers of 4,000 DWT and above require a Control Unit.
Category B : Tankers of less than 4,000 DWT but more then 150 GRT require a Computing Unit
Whilst the IMO resolution is very specific as to the legal requirements of installation it is of course entirely possible that
the owners with vessels classed as 'B' would wish to install a fully automatic system such that on board operation becomes
less arduous for the crew
Below is a table designed to enable the installer to recognise which controls will require automatic or manual operation
The information is divided into three categories, that of Input, Control and Printout info.
Category

CONTROL
PRINTOUT INFO
-
- interlock and overboard discharee control circuits
Due to the wide variety of starting
VAF Instruments can bnly give a general concept of how they can be achieved. First the IMO description of each version
and then an interpretation of the system layout using the Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitor.
" An overboard discharge control is a device which automatically initiates the sequence to stop the overboard discharge of
the effluent in alarm conditions and prevents the discharge throughout the period the alarm condition prevails. The device
may be arranged to close the overboard valves or to stop the relevant pumps, as appropriate."
SECTION 1
The definition of a starting interlock is given in paragraph 3.4 of the Annex to IMO Resolution AS86 (14) and is as
follows:
" A starting interlock is a facility which prevents the initiation of the opening of the discharge valve or the operation of
other equivalent arrangements before the monitoring system is fully operational when use of the monitoring system is
required by the Convention!'
By its very nature Overboard Discharge Control can be considered a starting interlock, if the overboard valves are
controlled from the Main Control Unit. They will only receive a signal to open for discharge when all the input parameters
are correct.
If so connected as to stop the discharge by use of stopping the relevant pumps, this is not deemed a starting interlock. In
this instance a starting interlock could be typically a valve spindle brake.
For an example of an overboard control circuit by use of interlocking overboard and slop tank return valves see Drg 0806-
5019-4. Tbis also incorporates a starting interlock.
I
VAF Instruments advise that prior consultation is made with the classification society surveyor in each case to ensure that
the anangement will be acceptable both as to the operation and with regard to safety.
MARPOL regulations require that taking into consideration the length of sampling piping, the overall response time is as
short as possible, and in any case not more than 40 seconds.
It is therefore necessary to place a restriction on the length of sample pipe from the probe to the detector cell.
Maximum length of sample pipe (in this example sample pipe O.D. 15 mm, thickness of pipe lmm):

3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitor continuously samples the ballast water being discharged overboard and measures the oil
content and controls the discharge of the ballast water and plays therefore, a central role in the Oil Discharge Monitor and
Control System.
A schematic arrangement of the entire Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System (ODME) is shown in drawing 0806-
8035-3.
The Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitor comprises the elements labelled as: Skid, Electro Pneumatic Unit, Starter box, Sample
pump and Main Control Unit.
The Main Control Unit (MCU) is the central part of the ODME system and is designed for mounting in the cargo control
console (19' rack). Its function is to compute and record:
The MCU processes these inputs and records and displays all the necessary information:
- time and date (UTC) (29/10/95 12:15);
- autoimanual mode ( CONC ppm A/M);
- status of operational mode ( MODE SAMPLE);
- instantaneousoil content ( CONc P P ~ ) ;
- rate of discharge (FLOW Th);
- ships speed (SPEED kts);
- instantaneous rate of discharge of oil ( DISCH hm);
-total quantity of oil discharged ( TOTOIL I);
- status of discharge ( V/V C0M:C P0S:C);
- sampling point selected ( SAMP.PNT I);
- type of oil ( OIL: 12).
The data is displayed on a LCD display and is also printed on paper at 10 min. intervals.
Control of the MCU is through a keyboard.
The MCU also displays a number of pages with information according to the operator's instructions. The various pages are
designed to help the operator to control the ODME system and to give a wide range of information.
P
SECTION 3
The Skid Assembly contains the necessary items to handle the sampled ballast water and to measure the oil content. In the
Skid Assembly there is a pneumatically operated shuttle valve, (4) and a window wash pump (I).
The shuttle valve selects between fresh water, forward or backward flush and sample water
Also contained within the Skid Assembly is the detector cell which contains the electronic sensing system to determine oil
content. On the left hand side of the Skid Assembly is the Window Wash pump (1). This is a pneumatically operated pump
which provides a 10 to 1 pressure boost to the window flushing water. Also included in the Skid Assembly is a flow setting
valve (3). which sets a back pressure on the Sample pump and a magnetic flowsensor (2) to determine flow through the
I
Skid Assembly.
The Skid Assembly is normally mounted in the pumproom opposite the EPU on the engine room side of the bulkhead.
The manifold valve block fitted to the differential pressure transmitter, has three shut-off valves. The two outer valves are
for blocking off the pressure sensing lines from the sensor. The centre valve serves as equalizing valve to balance the
pressure at both sides of the transmitter.
For taking a representative sample of the ballast water to measure the oil level content a sample probe valve assembly is
provided for. It comprises :
The Electro Pneumatic Unit (EPU) contains the control electronics and the solenoid valves to switch the pneumatic signals.
It also contains the Zener barriers for the input signals from the flowmeter(s), flowswitch and measurement cell. There is a
single electronic card installed, and a power supply in the cover of the upper section of the cabinet.
The EPU is designed for mounting in the engine room opposite the Skid on the engine roondpumproom bulkhead or in
another suitable location.
The engine room mounted EPU is connected to the pumproom mounted detector cell located within the Skid Assembly via
an intrinsically Safe communication cable. The cable carries the following signals from the skid:
a) Oil content signals generated by the detector cell.
b) flow rate of sample water
c) LED feedback signal
The control of the Sample pumpmotor is from the EPU via the Starter box. This unit contains a relay to switch the 3-phase
supply to the pumpmotor and a thermal trip to protect the pumpmotor. It also has a main switch to isolate the pumpmotor
from the 3 -phase supply in case of maintenance. Location for the Starter box is the engine room in the convenience of the
Sample pumpmotor.
The PumplMotor Assembly comprises a high-shear vortex pump, a gas tight bulkhead seal and a motor. The pump
provides a degree of sample water conditioning as the shearing effect tends to produce dmplets of oil of roughly similar
size. The pump has a mechanical seal to provide sealing on the shaft. This shaft fits directly on the motor shaft and are
inter-connected by a spline. The shaft passes through a bulkhead seal, which consists of a number of rubber lip-seals
which are oil lubricated to form a gas tight seal. The motor is directly bolted to the bulkhead seal. The motor is suitable for
380 V or 440 Vat 50 Hz or 60 Hz, runs at 2850 or 3420 rpm respectively and is constructed to IP55 and isolation Class F,
IEC 34- 1.
SECTION 3
The measurement technique used in the Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitor is based on scattered light. The sample of discharge
water passes through a detector cell while light enters and leaves the measurement area of the cell. The sample flow is at
right angles to the optical path. When no particles or oil droplets are present in the water, light can pass straight through the
cell (Direct beam). When oil is present in the form of a homogeneous mixture, light is scattered at different angles (Scatter
beam). The intensity of scattered light at a specific angle depends on the density of oil droplets and upon their particle size
relative to the wavelength of radiation. The intensity of light of the direct beam decreases logarithmically with increasing
oil concentration, while the scatter beam increases linearly but passes through a maximum before decreasing
*
logarithmically, see drawing. 0806-1622. The maximum occurs because of the increase in attenuation blocking out the
scattered light at high concentrations. The variation of light refraction by oil droplets only is quite different to that refracted
when solid contaminants are also present and this fact can be used to obtain an accurate indication of oil content whilst
disregarding solid particles up to a point.
The light source used in the Oilcon Oil Discharge Monitor is a near infra red diode which is operated in the pulsed mode so
that the average power dissipation is very low, although the intensity is high. The light signal is processed and transmitted
along a communication cable from the detector cell to the EPU where the three detection signals are used to compute the
oil concentration levels present in the sample passing through the detector cell.
The response in the optical detection is instantaneous and most of the delays when reading oil levels lie in the sampling
pipework. High velocity, short sampling length and minimum pipework bends give fast response times. During periods of
inactivity the pipework may become fouled and when the system is started up, erroneous readings could occur as oil is
stripped from the pipework. Automatic sequential control of forward and backward flushing at start up and shut down of
the monitor prevents erroneous readings and keeps the sampling lines clean. This also ensures reliable stad up, minimises
system deterioration and ensures that the pipework is left in clean condition prior to the next use of the monitor. At the end
of the start up flushing cycle a system zero check is performed, this automatic zero setting compensates for any small
deposits on the cell windows. The window wash pump cleans the cell windows at regular intervals.
All operating conhols and system alarms are situated on the MCU. Manual system flush and window wash conhols are
available to make these two operations possible at any time. With the exception of selecting the sample point and the oil
type, the system works automatically once sampling has been initiated. The oil level together with the discharge flow rate
and ships speed are input to the MCU to give a permanent record of oil discharged overboard. Both calibration alarms and
operational a l m s are provided and the alarm philosophy employed follows normal marine practice. When a fault occurs,
both audible and visual alarms are activated. The audible alarm can be silenced by fault acceptance but the visual alarm
cannot be extinguished. It is only after the fault has been rectified that the visual alarm is extinguished. Should a second
alarm occur during this sequence, both audible and the visual alarms would be reactivated.
SECTION 3
A suggested installation configuration of the ODME system is given in drawing. 0806-8035-3. Up to 6 sampling points can
be catered for, although most ships will have much less than this. The total number of valves that are contained in the
system is depending on the particular configuration on the ship.
The sample point is selected from the MCU in the Ships Cargo Control Room; this causes the selected valve to open
When the system is in Sample mode, water is drawn from the sample point by the sample pump, passed through the
detector cell and then discharged to the slop tank or discharged overboard, depending on the installation.
The accuracy of the monitor is improved by the use of a flushing sequence before sampling commences, at intervals during
sampling and when the system is shut down after use. All the flushing sequences are carried out automatically by the
system. The flushing sequences serve three purposes: - t o clean the pipework; -to keep the detector cell windows clean,
which keeps the optical path un-obscured and to perform a zero check every time a flush sequence is activated. The
flushing sequences can be operated manually from the MCU, if required.
The Skid Assembly, see drawing. 0806-1261-3, contains a pneumatically operated shuttle valve, which facilitates the
forward flush and backward flush. During the automatic flushing sequences on start up, and on shut down, the valve '
activates to flush all the pipework using the 'esh water supply and sequentially selects between backward and forward
flush. When the manual flush is operated, valve activates to allow fresh water into the system and an additional zero check
is performed.
Every three minutes during sampling, an automatic cleaning of the windows in the detector cell is canied out. A pneumatic
pump mounted in the Skid Assembly supplies high pressure fresh water which is sprayed across each window. It will be
noticed that the window wash sequence is indicated on the MCU by "MODE SAMPLE WW'.
The use of fresh water for these sequences means that it is important, for correct operation of the ODME system, that an
un-interrupted supply of fresh water is available. The fresh water used must be free of any contaminants.
The typical installation in drawing. 0806-8035-3 shows a number of manual valves. These are used for isolation of the
system for maintenance purposes. The valves are:
Note: There is an unmarked valve inside the Skid Assembly on the outlet side of the measurement cell.. This valve is used
to provide back pressure for the sample pump. If the valve is open fully, there will be little or no back pressure on
the pump, so the pump could cavitate and this would cause erroneous reading of oil content. The correct setting for
the valve is almost closed; in this position the pump discharge will be in the region of 450 -550 litres per hour. The
flow can be checked by pressing "SCROLL" on the MCU during either forward flush or sample modes which will
then temporarily display the flowrate. A precise setting of the valve is not necessaly.
SECTION 3
Operation of the ODME system is controlled from, and recorded by the MCU. A diagrammatic representation of the
control panel of the MCU, as fitted in the Cargo Control Room, is given in drawing. 0806-1264-3. The MCU control panel
contains the following:
-acts as the major interface between machine and operator, and displays all relevant information;
- "Off' - the display is blanked and the MCU goes to a quiescent state where the only active electronic circuit is the battery
backed clocklcalendar;
Note: do not attempt to service the equipment in this mode, see Maintenance section 6;
- "Control Unit" - (CTRL) in this position the MCU is in the normal operational mode, automatically controlling the
ballast discharge system if automatic control is fitted;
- "Console" - (CNSL) in this position the MCU is in normal operational mode but manual control of the ballast discharge
system is provided from the cargo console;
(iii) Keyboard
-the operator can communicate with the equipment by using the keyboard. All inputs from the keyboard are displayed on
the LCD display. The keys are as follows;
(iv) Printer
NOTE
According to the Regulations a printed record of the entire ballast water discharge operation must be kept on board the
vessel for at least 3 years.
During normal operation, the data printed will be shown on the display. Each time a printout takes place an appropriate
message is printed at the top of the printout to explain why the printout has occurred. The message takes the form;

SECTION 3
The MCU provides a number of output signals to allow flexible means of controlling the ballast water discharge system.
Two outputs are under the direct control of the MCU and these are used to automatically control the discharge system -to
stop the discharge when the alarm points are reached and to permit discharge when the discharge rate of oil is within limits.
Over-riding of the MCU should only be considered if the MCU itself has failed or if special circumstances prevail.
There may be occasions when it is imperative to over-ride the control signal from the MCU to the ballast discharge system,
if automatic control is fitted. The control switch on the MCU front panel has a position marked 'Console' with the switch in
.
this oosition the automatic control is over-ridden. which means that the control of the valves...oumos ect. in the ballast
discharge system has reverted to the cargo control room console. In the position marked 'Control Unit', control of the
ballast discharge system is entirely from the MCU. The fact that the switch has been operated will be printed on the printer.
On occasions, one of the three transducers in the system (Oil discharge Monitor, ship's log or discharge flow meter) may
be defective. For this situation, the input of these transducers can be changed from Auto to Manual. This can be done by
entering the Set Up mode or the Extra Set Up mode and selecting the required input signal. The input mode is indicated
alongside the input by 'A' for automatic and by 'M' for manual. The mode can be changed by pressing [CHANGE]. In
manual mode the value for that input must be entered with the numeric key's. Any of the 3 inputs and any combination of
these inputs can be set to manual. Any change of mode from automatic to manual or vice-versa will be recorded on the
printer.
The main purpose of the MCU is to control the discharge of ballast water overboard. The MCU controls an internal relay
which, when suitably connected, can be used to open or close an overboard valve, or start and stop a cargo pump. The
specific installation on any ship may vary.
The position of this internal relay is shown on the display on 'V/V COM:' and is either '0 (open) or 'C( closed). The relay
will be closed when;
It is necessary for the MCU to know if the command output has been obeyed correctly. Hence, an input is provided to
signal the 'status' of the discharge control system. The input could be, for example, from a microswitch on the overboard
valve. The answer-back is shown on the display as 'POS:'and status is shown as '0 (open) or 'C (closed).
If the MCU is in 'Control' mode and the command and status ~nd~cations do not agree, arter 2 minutes, the 'slatus'
indication will flash "ERROR to indicate a fault. The overboard valve command will then be '('LOSE'.
The Discharge Rate and Total Oil Discharged calculations are performed once the status is open. This means that if the
overboard valve is opened even when the command signal is to close the valve, then the normal calculation will be carried
out and the amount of oil discharged will he recorded.
SECTION 3
4 OPERATION
CAUTION:
No adjustments should he made to the electronic units prior to operation. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTE CAREFULLY:
On this system the screen will not acknowledge any change of input data until the printer has printed the last input
information.
The MCU has several modes of operation which are; Standby, Set up, Flush, Idle, Sample, Automatic Window Wash,
Manual Window Wash, Manual Flush, Shutdown, Extra Set up, Clean Ballast Discharge, Help and Configuration. These
modes are either selected automatically or by the operator via the keyboard.
The Standby mode is automatically selected after switching 'ON' ( Key switch to "Control" [CTRL] position) the system
and is also automatically entered after performing the Shutdown flush sequence or when in Set Up mode [STOP
MONITOR] is pressed. In Standby mode the system is waiting for manual input from the operator which can he:
The Set Up mode is used to set up the system before a discharge tun can take place. The settings which can he selected are:
These settings are displayed sequentially and can he selected by pressing [ENTER]. In the display is indicated which
keyboard actions can be executed to change or input the correct value for that setting.
SECTION 3
Once the Set Up is completed, which is indicated in the display, there are three possible actions:
The Flush mode is used to clean the system prior to sampling and to check the condition of the detector cell and the system.
This mode consists of a 2 minute Backward flush, a 2 minute Forward flush and calibration. If no failures are detected the
system will select the Idle mode affer completion of the flush.
4.1.6SAMPLE MODE
In this operational mode the overboard discharge of ballast water is continuously monitored for oil content and the
discharge rate is controlled. If an alarm situation occurs the ballast water will automatically be diverted from overboard to
.
the slop tank to prevent any oil contamination. During the sample mode an automatic Window Wash takes place every 3
minutes to keep the detector cell in an optimal condition. There are four possible keyboard actions during the Sample
mode.
The shutdown mode is used to clean the piping of the ODME system prior to a final stop of operation, thus leaving the
system in a clean condition for the next discharge run. The Shut down mode is entered when in Idle mode [STOP
MONITOR] is pressed. In this mode a 2 minute Backward and 2 minute Forward flush are performed.
SECTION 3
This mode can only be entered when in Idle mode [CHANGE] is pressed. In this mode the following system settings can
be changed;
These settings can be selected by pressing [ENTER] and will be displayed sequentially.
The system will automatically return to Idle mode when [ENTER] is pressed after the last setting selection or 15 seconds
after the last keyboard action.
This mode can be entered by selecting during set-up the highest numerical sample point available on the system. The
operator enters the sample point as the highest numerical one available on the system. The system then switches
automatically over to CLEAN BALLAST DISCHARGE mode.
In this mode the ships speed and overboard discharge flow input parameters are not computed, and only the oil content is
registered. The maximum oil content permissible in this mode is 15ppm.
The Help mode can be entered by pressing [ ? ] and give additional information about system operation and operational
actions which can be taken if an alarm situation occurs.
To return to the normal operational mode press [CLEAR].
The Configuration mode is used to set up the system during installation and this should only be done by a trained service
engineer.
,
SECTION 3
NOTE:
The Oil Discharge Monitoring System must be operated as directed under the regulations given in Marpol 73/78, to
prevent discharge of oil-contaminated water overboard. Where inst~uctionsin this manual may apparently conflict with the
Marpol requirements, then at all times the Marpol regulations must be favoured.
CAUTION:
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST THE PUMP BE RUN WITHOUT LIQUID. THE PUMP CASING MUST BE

During the operation extra manual window flushing can be carried out, if required by pressing [WINDOW WASH].
If it is suspected that the detector cell is particularly dirty, extra cleaning can be carried out by pressing [FLUSH]. It should
be noted however, that this will cause the discharge overboard to be stopped automatically. The monitor will not be
measuring the discharge overboard whilst flushing.
4.2.2 SHUTDOWN
After 2 minutes of back flush the system changes to the forward flush mode.
4.3 MISCELLANEOUS
This section is to describe the problems that may be encountered during operation, and the suggested reasons
During a normal discharge run of ballast water the ppm reading should be around 50 to 150 ppm assuming that sufficient
time has been left to allow the oil to settle out in the tank.
The reading should be steady for most of the duration of discharge. If the reading is varying rapidly with large excursions,
it is likely that air is being entrained into the ballast water. This could be due to a partly filled overboard line, a cavitating
cargo pump or a low suction pressure on the monitor sample pump casing causing air to enter the pump.
If the ppm reading is consistently high press [FLUSH]. This will cause the monitor to run on fresh water for a short time.
The ppm reading should therefore go down to zero.
NOTE: Operation of the [FLUSH] key will signal the MCU to stop the discharge overboard, since the monitor is no longer
sampling the ballast water.
Once the calibration check is completed the monitor will return to sampling the ballast water. If reading returns to it's
previous level, then it is sure that the reading is accurate.
If there is any further doubt, the only solution is to stop the monitor and restart it again thereby forcing it to complete a full
flushing cycle.
SECTION 3
During a normal ballast discharge, the ppm reading should be quite low probably in the region of between 50 and 150 ppm,
as the main bulk of the ballast tank is decanted. During this time, the rate of discharge in litres per nautical mile as
calculated by the MCU, will also be steady and remain within the permitted limits. Obviously, as the level in the tank falls,
there comes a time when the reading on the monitor will start to rise, as oil is stripped from the layer on the surface. It is
difficult to predict at what depth of water this will occur due to a number of reasons:
In this way, the monitor can be used as an accurate means of sensing the oil-water interface and ensuring that the maximum
amount of water is discharged. If the 'oil level' alarm should sound, reduce the pumping rate until the ppm reading, falls and
becomes steady. After a time the reading will rise again. Reduce the pumping rate further to let the ppm reading fall again.
Repeat this cycle until the pumping reaches the oil-water interface at which time the ppm reading will rise rapidly and go
over scale. The discharge will now be complete. Considerably more water will have been discharged using this technique,
although it will have increased the time taken to discharge the ballast water.
.
4.4 ALARMS
NOTE:
At all times the Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System must be operated as directed by MARPOL 73/78 to prevent
dischargepf nil contaminated water overboard.
There are necessarily a number of alarm conditions in the MCU. Irrespective of what caused the alarm, the result is the
same. The letters 'ERR'or 'FLT will appear on the display alongside whatever caused the alarm. Also an internal buzzer
will sound. A control signal will be sent to stop the ballast water discharge.
Should any alarm occur during normal operation, press [ALARM RESET]. This will silence the audible alarm. The display
will give a message about the cause of the alarm. Pressing [ ? ] will give a helptext about the cause of the alarm and actions
that can be taken to correct the situation. To return to normal display press [CLEAR].
However the fault must be cleared before any discharge of ballast can take place.
4.4.1 NO AIR
If for any reason there is no air supply to the ODME system the NO AIR alarm is activated.
The alarm is indicated alongside the oil concentration indication; 'CONCERRppm'
The system will then return to Standby mode. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section
5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
4.4.2 NO FLOW
If for any reason there is no flow through the ODME system the NO FLOW alarm is activated. The alarm is indicated

Idle mode. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective
actions.
SECTION 3
During the calibration check of the ODME system, during Flush or Manual Flush mode, the ZERO ERROR alarm can be
activated if the flushing water is dirty, oily or if it contains air. The alarm is indicated alongside the oil concentration
indication; 'CONC ERR ppm'.
The system will go to ldle mode and from there only the Shutdown mode can be selected, to resume operation afler the
fault is cleared. Thus a restart is made from Standby. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-
Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
During the calibration check of the ODME system the PATH DIRTY alarm can be activated if the optical path between the
laser transmitter and the direct receiver is obscured.
The alarm is indicated alongside the oil concentration indication; 'CONCERRppm'.
The system will go to ldle mode and from there only the Shutdown mode can be selected, to resume operation after the
fault is cleared. Thus a restart is made from Standby. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-
Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
If during operation of the ODME system a fault develops in the communication lmk between the MCU and the EPU or a
oower failure condition occurs. then the POWERCOMMUNICATION FAILURE alarm is activated The alarm is
indicated alongside the oil concentration indication; 'CONCERR ppm'.
The system will go to the Shutdown mode followed by Standby. However during such a situation the emergency power
supply will take over, thus no data will be lost. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section
5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
4.4.6 WATCHDOG
If during operation a fault condition occurs in the program of the ODME system the WATCHDOG is activated. The alarm
is indicated alongside the oil concentration indication; 'CONC ERRppm'. The system will go to Set-up page in Standby
mode. Consult the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
If an optical LED failure is detected during operation of the ODME system the LED MONITOR ERROR alarm is
activated. The alarm is indicated alongside the oil concentration indication; 'CONCERRppm'.Consult the Help mode of
the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
If during operation of the ODME system an over-range fault is detected in the flowmeter signal the FLOW OVERRANGE
alarm 1s activated The alarm is indicated alongside the discharge flow rate; 'FLOW FLT E l f . Consult the Help mode of
the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual for corrective actions
If during operation of the ODME system an under-range fault is detected in the flowmeter signal the FLOW
UNDERRANGE alarm is activated. The alarm is indicated alongside the discharge flow rate; 'FLOW ERR T / P . Consult
the Help mode of the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
SECTION 3
The OVERBOARD ARRANGEMENT FAILURE is activated if during operation of the ODME system, in 'Control' mode,
a mismatch is detected between the overboard valve command and the overboard valve position indication. The alarm is
indicated by a flashing 'ERROR' alongside the overboard valve command; 'YNC 0 M : C ERROR'. Consult the Help mode of
the MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
The PRINTER FAILURE alarm is activated if during operation of the ODME system a fault is detected in the printer. The
alarm is indicated on the top line of the display by a flashing message 'PRINTER FAILURE. Consult the Help mode of the
MCU or Fault Finding Section 3, Sub-Section 5, of this manual, for corrective actions.
If during operation of the ODME system the rate of discharge exceeds 30 Vnm the DISCHARGE RATIO alarm is
activated. The alarm is indicated alongside the discharge ratio; 'DISCH. FLT lhm'. The system will continue operation in
the Sample mode, although the ballast water discharge will be stopped.
According to the Regulations the maximum discharge rate is 30 litrednautical mile and the discharge rate alarm level is set
to this limit, but may be set to a lower figure, if required. This can be done on SET Up page 2. If this limit is exceeded, the
discharge of ballast water will be stopped automatically and will only be permitted if the oil discharge rate is reduced.( e.g.
by reducing the flow rate of ballast water.)
If the total discharge oil limit exceeds 1130,000 of the last cargo carried, the
TOTAL DISCHARGED OIL LIMIT alarm is activated. The alarm is indicated alongside the total oil indication; 'TOXOIL
FLTP.
If during the previous usage of the system the unit was shut-down in an incorrect manner, ( ie without going through shut-
down flush procedure) then this message will appear briefly on the display at the next start up. No print-out will be made,
but this will be logged within the systems own internal data-logger.

SECTION 3
IMPORTANT
On any failure of the system the discharge should be stopped and the failure should be noted in the Oil Records Book. A
manually operated alternative system shall be provided and may be used in the event of such a failure, but the defective
unit must be made operable before the tanker commences its next ballast voyage, unless it is proceeding to a repair yard.
In the occasion of a failure of one of the three transducers in the system (Oil Discharge Monitor, ships log or discharge
flowmeter) the input of these transducers can be changed from Auto to Manual. This can be done by following the next
instructions:
1. operate the MCU till the system is in SET Up mode or the EXTRA SET UP mode;
2. press [ENTER];
3. select the appropriate input (Ships speed, Discharge flowrate, Oil content), by pressing
[ENTER];
5. enter the value for that input with the numeric key's;
6. press [ENTER];
4.5.2 FLOWMETER
In the event of failure of the discharge flowmetering system, the flowrate should be estimated by the best means available
and entered into the MCU manually as described above.
1. cargo pump characteristic curves, a copy of which should be included in this manual;
2. in the case of reciprocating pumps, the flowrate can be calculated by multiplying the number of strokes per minute x
the number of cylinders x the volume per cylinder;
3. alternatively, the flowrate can be calculated by taking ullage readings from the tank being discharged at various
intervals and using the ullage tables to calculate the flowrate.
SECTION 3
In the event of failure of the ship's speed indicating device the speed should be estimated by the best means available and
entered into the MCU manually as described in Section 3, Sub-Section 4.5.1.
The oil content in ppm cannot be estimated accurately other than with sophisticated test equipment. However, the
following, if all used together, would give a rough indication of oil content.
In the event of failure of the MCU, the following should be carried out;
3. discharge control can be carried out by manual operation of valves and pumps. This can also be done in the event
of failure of the discharge valve actuating circuits or cargo pump hips.
4. manual recording of all data, calculations, times and operations in the Oil Records Book.
SECTION 3
5 FAULTFINDING
The first requirement when altempting to find a fault in the system, is to ensure that the monitor is correctly set up to run. A
large number of service problems can he directly related to a simple mechanical fault, that appears to cause a large number
of seemingly un-related problems. It is essential to check before delving too deeply, that all hand-valves in the system are
open; that the fresh water supply is available and clean and free of any contaminants; that the air supply to the EPU is on;
that electrical supply to the pump is on; and that the electrical supply to the MCU and EPU is on.
It is also important to note that most service problems are mechanical faults and not electronic faults. On the whole,
electronic systems are much more reliable than the mechanical components attached to them. However, when a fault
occurs, the tendency is to distrust the electronic systems and hunt for faults in the electronic part, discounting the
mechanical parts. This tendency should be reversed.
The emphasis in this fault-finding guide and the following 'Repair' section is on mechanical repair and overhaul.
Indications are given to assist in electronic repairs, but it is expected that most fault will be rectified by complete board
replacement, rather than component replacement. Therefore, it is indicated which board is likely to be the source of the
particular problem.
5.1.2 SAFETY
If any work is carried out on the monitor, the following precautions should be taken before any work is commenced:
1. make sure that all safety requirements are met before starting any work;
2. use adequate personnel protection where necessary;
3. use adequate tools to perform the work;
4. Before starting the system, check that fresh water, air and electrical supplies are all on and that manual valves are
open.
5. CAUTION: The printed circuit boards have CMOS components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharges.
Observe correct procedures for handling CMOS components. It is also recommended to store the circuit boards in
electrostatic proof cases.
SECTION 3
The structure of the following fault-finding guide is that the correct functioning path is on the left of the page; the section
of the manual for the fault-finding is indicated on the right of the page. To use the guide, start at the beginning and take
the monitor through the outlined operating procedure, checking that the monitor operates correctly at each point. Should
the monitor not operate as specified, refer to the right side of the page and turn to that section of the manual or refer
directly to the fault as indicated on the MCU.
If the fault can not be rectified from this guide, then contact VAF instruments to request specialist assistance. Quote the
serial number of the monitor and explain up to which section in this guide the monitor worked correctly.

SECTION 3
6 MAINTENANCE
The Oil Discharge Monitor and Control System is an assembly of components forming a complete system. It comprises a
mix of pneumatic, electronic and mechanical components. Once a control system is functioning correctly there is no test, or
tests, which can be applied to guarantee successful operation for a stated period of time; random failure of components can
occur and such random failures can never be forecast. In consequence, satisfactory operation, in the way the system was
designed to operate, is the only test to apply. This involves frequent operation of the monitor, especially if the monitor is
shut down for long periods. A test run, once a month, will ensure that the monitor will work correctly when it is required.
Dirt, corrosion, and, to a lesser extent, wear are the enemies of control. This means that clean conditions must be
maintained in the area of the monitoring equipment.
Pneumatic and hydraulic components require little maintenance. The various moving parts in the system should be free
from friction and in good working order. Oil should not be applied to pneumatic components. Connections should be tight;
loose connections not only waste air but produce unsatisfactory operation and performance.
One of the greatest problems with pneumatic systems is the maintaining of a supply of clean. dry air at a constant pressure.
Moisture, oil or foreign particles carried into the system from the air supply will cause problems. Pneumatic valves and
controllers operating with clean dry air require virtually no maintenance.
SAFETY
If any work is carried out on the monitor, the following precautions should be taken before any work is commenced:
1. Make sure that all safety requirements are met before starting any maintenance work;
2. Make sure that all equipment is isolated from the electrical supplies;
3. Make sure that the equipment is isolated from the water supply;
4. Make sure that the equipment is isolated from the air supply;
5. Use adequate personnel protection where necessary;
6. Use adequate tools to perform the work;
7. Thoroughly clean the outside of all fittings, pipes and components, and surrounding structure before any work
commences;
8. Then pipe lines are disconnected fit dust caps to pipes and unions, mask any exposed surfaces and make certain that
foreign matter cannot enter the system;
9. If flushing pipes, use a clean inert solvent, such as inhibited methyl chloroform, from a clean container;
10. Use cleaning solvent in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing fumes. Keep away from open fire.
,
SECTION 3
There is little routine maintenance that can be canied out on the ODME system. The major requirement is to ensure that
the lubricator in the system is kept topped up and a regular check of the air regulator housings for excess water.
For correct and fault free functioning of pneumatic components it is advised to regularly check and drain the regulator
housing of excess water. Ifa great deal of water is found the filter in the regulator house should he replaced. Also a check
should then be performed on the ship's control air system, compressors, air-dryen etc.
Proper functioning ofthe gas seal located in the centre of the pump main plate relies on the presence of oil, for lubricating,
sealing and cooling purposes.
The oil reservoir shall always be sufficiently filled with oil. It can easily be filled by opening the spring-loaded cap on top,
and pouring the oil in.
For lubricating oil we recommend to use a light-duty type of machine oil, or Automatic Transmission Fluid
WARNING:
ATF-types of oil are not to be mixed with general machine oil.
r
SECTION 3
6.3 PRINTER
The only routine maintenance required to the MCU is to ensure that there is an adequate supply of paper in the printer
before starting a ballast discharge operation.
CAUTION: Never let the printer work without printing paper as this will damage the printing mechanism.
Unscrew the two knurled thumb-screws on the front panel and allow the front panel to drop down on its hinges.
I
Slide the take-up spindle from rear of the front panel by sliding off the free end. Slide the roll of paper off the spindle
and retain it on board.
Remove the rear paper feed spindle from the holder by pushing it out of the retaining clips and discharge the empty
spool. Slide the new roll of paper on the spindle.
Replace the feed spindle in the front retaining clips and ensure it locates securely. Feed the paper through the printer
using the red paper feed button located on the left hand side of the printer module. Then feed the paper through the
lower aperture in the front panel .(See Drg. 0806-8041).
Feed the paper back through the upper aperture in the front panel and onto the take up spindle. Replace the paper
retaining spindle, and ensure that the pins on the take-up spindle mesh correctly with the cutouts on the spindle. The
paper can now be tightened by turning the take-up spindle.
Lift the front panel back into position and tighten up the thumb-screws
NOTE: One roll of paper will provide approximately 50 hours of normal use
SECTION 3

9 The inner parts of the cell can now be cleaned by using the cleansing brush (Part number 0609-0290) provided.
10 Re-assembly of the cell is the reverse procedure, taking care that the O-ring is properly seated.
I. The detector cell only requires removal for complete unit replacement.
2. Proceed as for cleaning the window bolts, until step 6.
3. The centre section of the detector cell can now be removed.
4. The detector cell centre section must be removed and replaced with the attached cable. As such the Connection
box must be opened and the cable gland loosened and terminals undone. The detector cell and cable can now be
removed and replaced.
SECTION 3
NOTE: When the pump is disassembled for repairs, all matched parts should be handled carefully to avoid damage to
lapped or honed surfaces.
WARNING: Use cleaning solvent in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing of fumes. Keep away from open fire.
Drg. 0871-1212 shows the window wash pump and will help to visualize the following:
I. Isolate the pump and relieve any pressure from the pump.
2. Remove the pump from the Skid assembly to a clean and well lit work place, after first disconnecting the two water
pipe lines and the air supply line.
1. In the eventuality of an air drive malfunction the spool guide (8) and pilot valves (17) should be replaced. Inspect this
first and replace if necessary prior to retesting before further disassembly of air drive. Spool guide (8) is most easily
removed by removing the four star drive screws and carefully removing, behind the spool guide is a small sliding
port valve. Care should be taken to ensure the sliding port valve is replace with the hollow side toward the body of
2.
the unit. The spool guide is included in spare parts kit 0390-1202.
Secondly on the air drive side are the replacements of pilot valves(l7). These two units should be replaced as a pair,
.
and form part of the Window wash pump maintenance kit (part number 0390-1202)
1. The inlet and outlet couplings are provided with non-return valves. Should a leakage occur on the water side
replacement of the O-rings (45) should be camed out. Remove inlet or outlet gland completely and remove O-ring
from inner part. Replace with new. The O-rings are part of the window wash maintenance kit 0390-1202.
17 If water is leaking from the wet side to the air side then the back up ring (33) should be replaced. To perform this, first
undo for star screws (29). Remove upper body (1). Remove Air piston (23). Place lower assembly into a bench vice.
With a 36mm box spanner remove cap nnt(40). The 0-ring(32 and back-up ring (33) are now visible and can be
replaced with reserve from window wash pump spare parts kit 0390-1202.
1. Before starting re-assembly operations, wash all metallic parts thoroughly in solvent.
2. The air piston, air barrel, cycling valve and sleeve should be lubricated on assembly with lubricant provided in the
spare parts kit.
4. Replace body onto lower pump body, taking care to ensure O-ring (28) sits well and is not "pinched"
5. Replace the pump into the Skid Assembly and connect the water and air service pipes.
SECTION 3
No maintenance on this unit is envisioned. Should the unit fail to operate, a replacement unit should be installed. If any
water leakage through the end cap bleed holes is detected, the assembly should be delivered to a qualified VAF service
point for overhaul.

SECTION 3
WARNING: The following point must be considered before commencing work to the unit;
Drg. 0806-1260-3 shows the pumplmotor and will help to visualize the following:
This sealing device requires no maintenance or adjustment. When a new seal is being run in, small leakage may occur
I
momentarily.
If any water leakage occurs, this will drip out of the 2mm. keyway at the bottom side of the pump casing, visible from the
pump room side.
Drain the pump and piping. On the pump casing a drain plug is provided. If repair to the impeller or rotating part of
the mechanical seal is required, the piping can remain in place. Otherwise, remove the suction and discharge piping
from the pump.
Remove the eight nuts (7) and washers (38) from the pump cover.
Remove the cover (5) from the pump casing, preferably utilising the two off jacking screws size M6. Be careful not
.
to damage the set of packing rings (4).
If only the impeller (10) is to be changed out, pull it out of the casing. If it sticks, gently use two snap grips and apply
little force evenly. Be careful not to be injured by the sharp impeller vanes, and also not to damage the impeller. The
keyway for the impeller is glued in place in the factory and should not be disturbed.
For access to the mechanical seal (9), the coupling (14) is to be removed. For this purpose, the impeller can be left in
place and be blocked with a tool having a soft end. Be carefol not to be injured by the sharp impeller vanes, and also
not to damage the impeller. Loosen the hexagon socket head cap screw (12) of the coupling (14). Then remove the
impeller, and the bolt (12) with the O-ring (13).
Pull the coupling from the motor shaft. For this purpose a M16 thread is provided, enabling use of a bolt as pull
handle. Be careful as the rotating part of the mechanical seal (9) will come offwith the shaft sleeve. Prevent the seal
part from striking the pump casing when it comes off. Do not damage the sealing ring and store it in a clean cloth at a
safe place.
For further disassembly remove the three hexagon socket head bolts (16) from the flange (22). Pull the pump casing
(2) with fining ring (22) from the main plate. Care should be taken for the stationary ring of the mechanical seal, this
will come off together with the pump casing. This ring should not strike the shaft, otherwise it may be damaged Be
aware that the key (3 1) should be kept in place.
NOTE: The gas tight seal will be compromised if the following steps are taken. Ensure replacement parts
are to band.
WARNING: Gas tight integrity of the bulkhead will be shortly compromised. Ensure all safety regulations
are followed and blanking plates are available if the repair of the unit is expected to take any
length of time.
8. If deemed necessary the rings forming the gas seal can be removed. Remove the oil reservoir on engine room side of
bulkhead. Pull out the first oil seal (25), the lantern ring (26) and the second oil ring. The oil seals will certainly be
damaged and need to be replaced.

SECTION 3
2 The FLOW indication on the MCU should now read zero. If reading is not zero, adjust zero point at DPT, in
accordance with section 6.8.2, until reading is zero.
Note:
When a digital voltmeter is used you will find an example of wiring (connected to CK- and CK+ on the terminal
block) with the illustrations. Lower pressure value should then correspond with an output of 4 mA.
Caution:
After adjustment of the transmitter, it should be kept energised for about 10 seconds
1. Unscrew cover from electronics section of DPT and read calibration data plate affixed to inside of
cover.
2. Connect a suitable pressure gauge and air supply to "+" side of DPT. Make sure that "-" side vents
to atmosphere.
3. Connect suitable digital voltmeter (refer to the illustrations in drawing 0899-1249-3).
4. Set 'MODE' switch to 'I ' (see illustrations).
5. Apply pressure shown as "upper calibration value" on calibration data plate of the DPT.
6. Wait for the pressure to stabilise.
7. Observe mA signal output. If reading is not in accordance with the upper limit of the DPT the output
current can be adjusted using the zerolspan screw.
8. Repeat steps 1,2 and 3 of paragraph 6.8.1 to check that the zero point has not drifted.
9. Set 'MODE' switch to '2'.
10. Remove air tools and voltmeter. Close covers. Ensure that the sealing ring is installed otherwise the
transmitter is not in accordance with IP67.
Caution: Af?er adjustment of the transmitter, it should be kept energised for about 10 seconds.
W a r n i n s In hazardous zones with explosion proof requirements the cover must be tightened at least 7 turns
,
SECTION 3
Warninc
Do not assemble with power on
(i) Sensor
I. When mounting the sensor (Blu5), it is recommended to make use of a new set of gaskets (B-8)
compatible with the process fluid. The bolts, nuts, flanges and other parts should be inspected for corrosion or other
eventual damage. Damaged parts should be replaced.
2. Gaskets should be lightly lubricated with silicone oil before they are fitted into their recesses. Use
halogen grease for inert fill applications. The flanges should then be positioned in order to press them in place. With the I
flanges holding the O-rings in place, insert the fourbolts and tighten the nuts (B-14) finger-tight, making sure the flanges
remain parallel all the time.
Tighten one nut till the flange seats.
Tighten the nut diagonally across with a torque of approximately 25 Nm (20 fl.lbs).
Tighten the fmt nut with the same toque.
Verify the flange alignment.
Check torque on the four bolts.
3. The fitting of the sensor must be done with the main board out of the electronic housing. Mount the
sensor to the housing hlming clockwise until it stops. Then tum it counter-clockwise until it faces the protective cover (A-1)
parallel to the process flange. Tighten the hex screw (A-31A) to lock the housing to the sensor. .
(ii) Electronic Circuit
Warnine:
In hazardous zones with explosion proof requirements the cover must be tightened with at least 7 turns.
SECTION 3
Warning:
Use cleaning solvent in a well ventilated place. Avoid breathing of fumes. Keep away from open fire.
In drawing 0899-1249-3 you will find illustrations with an exploded view of the DPT which will help to visualize the following:
In order to have access to the sensor (Blu5) for cleaning purposes, the transmitter should be removed
from its process connections. The transmitter should be isolated from the process by means of manifolds or valves and must
be vented from any remaining pressure prior to removing.
Remove the DPT to a clean and well lit work place.
The flange nuts (8-14) may now be loosened crosswise, one at a time. After removing bolts and flanges
(B-9), the isolating diaphragms will be easily accessible for cleaning.
Cleaning should be done carefully in order to avoid damaging of the delicate isolating diaphragms. Use
of a sol3 cloth and a non-acid solution is recommended.
The oscillating circuit is a part of the sensor and replacement of one implies replacing the other.
To remove the sensor from the electronics housing, the electrical connections (in the field terminal side)
and the main board connector must be disconnected.
Loosen the hex screw (A-3 IA) and carefully unscrew the electronics housing from the sensor, observing
that the flat cable is not excessively twisted.
Caution: Do not rotate the electronics housing more than 180' without disconnecting the electronic circuit from the sensor
and from the power supply.
1. To remove the circuit board (A-6) loosen the two screws that anchor the board
Clution:
The board has CMOS components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharges. Observe correct procedures for
handling CMOS components. It is also recommended to store the circuit boards in electrostatic-pmof cases.
2. Pull the main board out of the housing and disconnect the power supply and the sensor CoMeCtOrS.

The Oil D~schargeMonitor type Oiicon Mark 6 detects the amount of oil dispended in
water and creates signals for further processng.
The electronics consists of an interface, which is installed outside the potentially explosive
atmosphere and a detector cell which is installed within the potentially explosive
atmosphere.
The interface provides intrinsically safe circuits for the detector cell and three intrinsically
safe circuits for separate measuring and detecting units.
The detector cell is provided with a (shor!) permanently wnnected cable and is connected
to the Interface vla a separate tenninetian box.
In that same tenninatlon box the circuit of a separately approved flow detector may be
terminated when the below m e n h e d precautions are taken into account.

The Masters anention is drawn to the following IMO Regulations relating to the control of discharge of oil and A b n of

I
EXTRACT from IMO MANUAL ON OIL POLLUTION- SECTION 1 PREVENTION (Revised 1983)
SECTION 8
REGULATIONS GENERAL
The following paragraphs are written in general terms only. They must be read as a strict interpretation of the regulations
referred to.
Since January 1978 the regulationsin force regarding the limiting amounts of oil which may be discharged into the sea
from an oil tanker are contained in the IMO International Conferences on Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil
1954, as amended in 1962 and 1969.
The following doaunents, both published by IMO, are mandatory from October 1983:
a. Conference on Marine Pollution 1973.
b. Recommendations on International Performance and Test Specificationsfor Oily Water Separating Equipment.
Since these documents came into force, oil-in-water monitoring equipments is required to be fitted to all oil tankers of
150 GRT and above.
Certain areas such as the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Red Sea are defmed as special
areas; no discharge of oil or oily mixture is permitted in such areas.
Oil tankers may discharge oily mixtures into the sea only when the following are satisfied:
- the tanker is not within a special area.
- the tanker is more than 50 nautical miles hom the nearest land.
- the tanker is proceeding underway.
- the instantaneous rate of discharge of oil does not exceed 30 litres per nautical mile.
- the total quantity of oil discharge into the sea does not exceed, for existing tankers, 1115,000 of the total quantity
of the p ~ i c u l a cargo
r of which the residue formed a part For new tankers the figure is calculated by I130,OOO.
- AND the tanker has in operation an approved oil discharge monitoring and control system and a slop tank
arrangement.
The requirements of paragraph 5 shall not apply to the discharge of clean or segregated ballast
For tankers less than ISOGRT, oily mixtures shall be retained onboard for discharge to suitable reception
facilities ashore. If any effluent is discharged into the sea, it is to be monitored m that the requirements of paragraph 5
are met.
For tankers of less than 150 GRT, the oil discharge monitoring and control system required to be fitted shall contain the
following features:
- the system shall provide a continuous record of the dischargein litres per nautical mile and the total
total quantity discharge in litres, or the oil content and the rate of discharge.
- the record shall be identifiable by time and date
- the monitor and control system shall come into operation when there isany discharge of effluent into the sea
and any discharge of oily mixture is automatically stopped when the rate of discharge exceeds 30 litrednmile.
- failure of the monitoring and control system shall stop the discharge. A manually operated altematie method
shall be provide and may be used in the event of such failure. Existing oil tankers may employ manual stopping
of discharge and the rate of discharge may be estimated from the pump characteristics.
Additionally, any ship of 400 GRT and above irequired to be fitted with oily water separating or filtering equipment
such as will ensure that any oily mixture discharged to sea after passing through it has an oily content not exceeding
15 ppm.
r
SECTION 8
10. In addition, ships of 10,000 GRT and above must k fitted with either an oil discharge monitoring and control system
almost identical with that described for oil tankers, or with an oil filtering system which accepts the discharge from the
separating system and reduce the oil content of the emuent fromot more than 100 ppm to not more than 15 ppm.
11. IMPORTANT: On any failure of the system, the discharge should be stopped and the failure should be noted in the
Oil Records Book, a manually operated alternative is provided and may be used in the evenbf such a failure, but the
defective unit must be made operable before the oil tanker commences its next ballast voyage, unless it is proceeding
to a repair yard.
Reference is made in the text to both "new ships" and "existing ships". These references ac based on REGULATION I (6)
& (7) of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78.
REGULATION 1 (7) "existing ship" means a ship which is not a new ship.
In the case of "existing ships" examples of estimating flow rate and shp's speed can be found in the Operating Inshuctions,
Section 3, Subsection 3.6 System Malfunction of this manual.
SECTION 8
The United Kingdom Department of Transport require the following extract to beincluded in this manual.
Subject to Paragraph (3) of the regulation, an oil tanker to which this regulation applies shall not discharge any oil or

SECTION 8
Regulation 15(3)(a) of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 specifies that the approved oil discharge monitoring and control
-
system shall be in operation when there is any discharge of oil contaminated water into the sea For this vessel, this
a
means exfraordinary dirty ballast water, line flushing and tank washings resulting from the cargo space must be
monitored using the high overboard discharge. I
The discharge monitoring ofclean ballast is not required by Annex I of MARPOL 73/78 providing such ballast was
contained in a tank previously the subject of tank washing subsequent to its carriage of oil. The ballast discharge must
not produce visible traces of oil or sludge to the surface of clean calm water. It is recommended however, that all sucq
erhoordinory clan ballast be monitored in order that pmof be gained to the effect that the oil content of such
discharge does not exceed 15 parts per million noswith-standing the presence of visible traces.
The discharge monitoring of segregated ballast is not requicd by A M ~ IXof MARPOL 73/78. Such ballast should be
subject to surface examination prior to discharge.
Prior to any discharge overboard, the oil discharge monitoring and control system shall undergo p r a m checks and
the input of variable data. The system will remain l l l y operational during all phases of discharge and the printed
.
record identifable as to time and datewill be retained omboard for a period of at least three years.
All ballast and effluent discharge operations will be clearlyrecorded in the Oil Record Book Part I1 which is placed
on-board in accordance with Regulation 20 of Annex I of MARPOL 73/78. It is recommended that the Oilcon print
out is attached to the corresponding entries and be made available for port state inspeccin when so required.
Subject to charter patty agreement, oil contaminated water and slops may be discharged to a shore reception facility at
the loading port. Monitoring of discharge in this event is not required.
Before discharge of ballast and 03 contaminated water the cargo officer shall use the oiywater interface detector, in
accordance with manufacturer's instructions, to determine the position of the oiVwater interface and shall record the
measured result prior to the commencement of monitaed discharge.
It should be ensured that all valves not required for the particular operation being undertaken are kept fully shut.

SECTION 8
EXTRACT from IMO MANUAL ON OIL POLLUTION- SECTION I PREVENTION (Revised 1983)
3.1.1.1 On a ballast passage where it is intended to arrive at a loading port with clean ballast for discharge to sea, the
following sequence of procedures should be observed:
3.1.2.1 All lines containing cargo should be pumped to shore on cmpletion of discharge. This includes opening pump
by-pass lines and cross connections between cargo and stripping lines. Any remaining cargo in the lines which
cannot be pumped ashore should be drained into a separate tank or into the slop tank before debtlasting begins.
Ballast should then be taken and in the process all cargo lines should be flushed into an appropriate cargo tank
or slop tank.To prevent oil from leaking overboard by way of the sea suction when commencing to take on
ballast, pumpmom, h e and tank valves are to be properly set and the pumps are to be m i n g with a vacuum
established on the sea line before the sea valves are opened. In order to establish this initial vacuum on the sea
line, it may be necessary to make a special effort srch as bleeding gas from the pump housing and utilising
stripping pumps or vacuum systems on the vapour line where such are available.
3.1.3.1 During the ballast voyage cargo tanks should be washed as required and washings bkontinuoudy shipped to
the slop tank. Care should be taken to ensure that wah water does not build up in the cargo tank. It should be
understood that the quantity of oil eventually discharged to the sea can be minimised by eliminating unnecessary
washing, thus reducing the quantity of water brought into contact with oil withii the tanker. As the clean ballast
may be discharged within territorial waters, it isimperative that the tanks in which it is carried are sufficiently
clean to ensure that the oil content ofthe efluent does not exceed 15ppm. Tanks which have been crude oil
washed must additionally be given a water rinse following the specified procedure before they are acceptable
for the caniage of clean anival ballast.
SECTION 8
3.1.4.1 Before starting to load clean ballast, it should be ensured that the main cargo pumps and lines to be used are
clean by further flushing into a suitable dirty ballast or slop tank.
3.1.5.1 A good oiVwater separation ofthe d i i ballast takes time, depending upon the movement of the ship as well as
on the type of oil cargo previously carried. Under favourable conditions it may take no more than 12 hours, but
in many circumstances 24 hours or more are needed to achieve zceptable results.
3.1.6.1 When settling is complete the ballast tanks will contain water with an oil layer on top. The bulk of this water
may be discharged to the sea, using the oil discharge monitoring and control systennnd preferably when the
vessel is not rolling or pitching. The following procedures should be applied during the discharge of ballast
water to permit optimum use of this system:
.I if necessary flush main cargo lines and pumps into a d i i ballast tankor slop tank,
.2 start to discharge ballast water;
.3 reduce discharge rates from individual tanks on approaching a water depth of about 20% of the tank
depth;
.4
.5
thereafter reduce the pumping rates to avoid drawing surface oil into the suction by 01tex or wier effects;
and
stop discharge of individual tanks when a level has been reached which, for the particular ship, is known
.
not to give rise to any entrainment of oil. When all tanks have been discharged to this level all discharge
must cease.
3.1.6.2 At this stage the officer in charge should verify that the slop tank can take the volume of dirty ballast remaining.
If ullage in insufficient, the slop tank may be partially discharged to provide the necessary capacity, taking care
to ensure that an adequate depth of water remains beneath the oil residue layer. The operation should then
continue as follows:
.I start transferring the remaining dirty ballast into the slop tank, using the stripping system;
.2 transfer to the slop tank the contem of the pumproam bilges and any other bilges connected to the cargo
strippingsystezq and
.3 the shipping system will the be dirty and should be flushed into the slop tank.
3.1.7.1 Decanting the contents of the slop tankis a critical step in the retention of oil omboard: hence the timing of the
various steps in the operation is important. Even a short delay in stopping a pump or closing a valve can allow a .
significant quantity of oil to escape into the sea.The oil diachrge monitoring and control system must be in use
during the discharge and will also assist considerably in the satisfactory conduct of this operation.
3.1.7.2 As with dirty ballast, the time required for oil and water to separate in the slop tank dependslpon the motion of
the ship as well as on the type of previous cargo. Under favourable conditions a few hours may be enough, but
in most circumstances 36 hours or more should be allowed.
SECTION 8
3.1.7.3 Before s M n g , an accurate interface and ullage readimg,using an oiVwater interface detector, must be taken to
determine the depth of the oil layer. Certain products may accumulate an electrostatic charge which must be
allowed to dissipate before taking interface readings. Accordingly, strict adherence to intrnationally accepted
safety precautions covering ullage and sampling is essential.
3.1.7.4 The interface profile may vary over several inches in depth. Hence discharge from the slop tank must be slowed
down well before the interface is reached to avoid dscharge of any oi!-im-water emulsion overboard. The
discharge must cease when the oil discharge monitoring and control system indicates that the maximum
permissible rate of discharge of oil of 30 litres per nautical mile is approached and, in any case b& the
interface is entrained.
3.1.7.5 Although even/ effort should be made to remove as much water as possible from the slop tank,the prime
objective is to prevent oily water reaching the sea. Extreme care is theafore necessary, and a close check must
be kept on the overboard discharge through the oil discharge monitoring and control system.
3.1.7.6 Anitation of the contents of the sloo tank must be kept to a minimum to avoid drawing oil into the suction by
v&x or weir effects, particularly theoiuwater i n k a c e approaches the top pf the itruehual members in the
tank bottom. Pumping rates must be strictly controlled. The following detailed procedures should be followed:
.I pump down the slop tank using one main cargo pump at slow speed uiit a water depth of about 20% of
the tank is reached;
.2 stop the cargo pump, then take an oiuwater interface and ullage reading and recalculate the remaining
water depth;
.3 resume pumping of the slop tank,this time using the stripping system, unCa predetermined water depth is
reached which, for the particular size and construction of the slop tank,is known not to give rise to
discharge of oil. Pumping, which may initially be at a moderate rate, should be slowed as this
predetermined water depth is approached;
.4 if oil should appear before the predetnmined water depth is reached or the monitor indicates that the oil
content of the effluent dischargedapproachesthe permitted limits, stop pumping; and
.5 allows fwther settling of the slop ank contents for as long as possible before repeating steps .3 and .4.
3.1.8.1 After these operations have been completed the lines and pumps used will contain traces of oil. While the ship
is still more than 50 nauticd miles from the nearest land and outside a special area, the lines and pumps which
will be used to discharge clean ballast must therefore be thoroughly flushed to sea through the oil discharge
monitoring and control system, thus ensuring that the permind instantaneous rate of discharge of oil is not
exceeded.
3.1.9.1 Only clean ballast or segregated ballast may be discharged within 50 nautical miles of the nearest land or within
a special area. In addition, local regulrtions should he checked in advance to ensure that the discharge of clean
ballast is permitted in port areas.
r
SECTION 8
Where clean ballast is discharged through an oil discharge monitoring ad control system, it shall be accepted
as being clean, not-with-standing the presence of visible traces of oil, provided that the oil content of the
discharge as recorded by the equipment is not more than 15ppm.
Although the oil discharge monitoring and control system is in operation, the ballast outlet shold be watched,
particularly when draining a tank bottom, as this is the most likely time for oil to be picked up. If traces of oil
become visible in the discharge, the operation must be stopped immediately.
Ballast water discharged fiom segregatei ballast tanks should be visually checked prior to and during discharge
for the presence of any oil.
Before reaching the loading port the master should advise his owners or charterers of the amount retained
residues omboard. These may then be handled in one of the following ways:
1.1 Before the test is carried out the person in charge should familiarise himself
with the operation of the system and ensure the following conditions are met:
a. Check processor board of MCU & EPU for proper insert of interpreted i
circuits (e.g. EPROM) 0 0
b. Control air supply is on min 4 bar. 0 0
c. Fresh water supply is on.

.I INTRODUCTION
The VAF Oilcon Mark6 Oil discharge monitoring and control system is installed on this vessel to provide the control of
overboard discharges by measuring oil ouMow concentration. It also computes the instantaneous rate of discharge and tote
quantity of oil discharged per ballast voyage.
The VAF OilconMark 6 monitor and installation meets the prescribed regulations of MARPOL 73/78 for this category A
vessel. The entire system has been inspectedby Det Nonke Veritas and deemed to satisfy the requirements of IMO
Resolutions A586(14).
The VAF Oilcon is considered type approved in accordance with IMO Resolution A586(14) ). A copy of the Marine
Equipment Directive 2002175EC to certify compliance of the equipment with the Type Test for Oil Cotent Meters is
included as section 5 of this manual.
The system fitted to this vessel comprises the following main elements:
.c
- sampling system
- monitoring system
- control unit.
The components for the sampling of discharge, with the exception of the sampling pump motor, are located in the pump
room. The sampling system can be located on the engine mom I pump room bulkhead.
-
Referring to Drg 08068038, one sample probe is provided. The probe (V1) is located in t h e 5 O h common cargo and
shipping pump discharge line.
The sample is drawn from the probe via a single shut off valve and a pneumatically controlled sample valve (VI).The sample
then passes to the ballast skid assembb (analysing unit) located on the pump mom engine bulkhead via a shubff valve.
The analysing unit comprises the measuring cell, sample grab cock,a pneumatically operatedshunle valve, VLO which
selects between iksh water and sample water and V11 wlich selects either backward flush or forward flush and a manually
operated flow limiting needle valve, flow lensor, pump delivery gmges and the window wash pump.
The sample is routed via valve V10, the sample pump, the measuring cell, valve VI 1 and a nometurn valve to be discharged
to the port slop tank at upper deck level.
The measuring cell utilises a near infrared light scanering technique generated by a repetitively pulsed laser (located in the
measurement cell) the signals are transmitted to the Electrolpneumatic unit by intrinsically safe circuitry.
Fresh water is provided for intermittent measurement cell window washing and also for forward and back flush modes of
system operation from the ships fresh water system connected into the system pipinet the pump room entrance area
thereafter via a pressure reducing valve.
SECTION 8
The monitoring system comprises anelecko-pneumatic cabinet located on thepump mom side of theengine room and
approximately in line with thein the pump roomlocated analysing unit skid. This cabinet contains electronics, control
electronics and solenoid valves to operate the pneumatic sampling valves and analysing unit valves V10 and V1 I in the pump
mom. Additional solenoid valves control airsupply and window wash functions.
The cabinet contains printed circuit boards which control themeasurement circuitry contained within the measurement cell,
the power supply and solenoid valve actuation. Single phase supply for this cabinet being taken fm the 220 volts circuit,

.5 VAF OILCON MARK 6 MAIN CONROL UNIT ALARMS, CONTROLS AND DISPLAYS
S.1 INTRODUCTION
I
The equipment inside the Main Control Unit incorporates electrically live parts at dangemwoltage levels and thus access to
intemals for sewicing should only be made by suitably qualified and competent personnel.
Proper anti-static precautions should be taken when handling printed circuit boards.
In the event of an alarm condition occurring whether it be system failure or an operational limit being exceeded, an audible
.
alarm will be raised from the Oilcon Main Control Unit.
There are necessarily a number of alarm conditions in the MCU. Irrespective of what caused the alarm, the result is the same.
The letters 'ERR'or 'FLT will appear on the display alongside whatever causd the alarm. Also an internal buzzer will sound.
A control signal will be sent to stop the ballast water discharge.
Should any alarm occur during normal operation, press [ALARM RESET]. This will silence the audible alarm. The display
will give a message about the cause of the alarm. Pressing [I?]will give a helptext about the cause of the alarm and actions
that can be taken to correct the sihlation. To return to normal display press [CLEAR].
However the fault must be cleared before any discharge of ballat can take place. The alarms (programmed and nom
programmed) incorporated in the Main control unit are specifiedin Section 3 in this manual

each time an alarm is raised
- if automatic or manual mode is selected
- each time there is an increase of IOLiNm in the quantity of oil being dischaged
- any out of range inputs
- when changing from set up pages to operational pages
- if the fiont panel key switch is operated
The printer will provide the following data according to sampling mode:
.8 STARTING INTERLOCK
The Resolution A586(14) requirement for a stating interlock is satisfied by electrical control between the Oilcon Mark6
Main control unit and the relay based interlock valve circuits contained in the cargo valve console.
Starting interlock logic in compliance with Resolution A586(14) paragraph 3.4s detailed in Drg 08065019.
Full automatic discharge valve control is arranged in compliance with Resolution A586(14) paragraph 3.3 is detailed iPig.
8.8 ODME valve control connection diagram This is arranged by mutual cperation of the overboard valve OD336 and the
slop tank valve OD-266.
The Oilcon Main Control Unit is orovided with an auto inout of the rate of effluent discharze. There are two flowmeterinz
systems installed, one on the50& main cargo pump discharge line, the second on the2& stripping pump discharge
line, both combining and leading to the stbd high overboard discharge line.
The flow rate indicating systems comprise ofhvo (2) measuring orifice plates, located in the cargo oil pumps discharge line
and the shipping pump discharge line, both of which are upstream of theoilcon sample probe V1. Linked to each of the
orifice plates assembly is a FUJI series DP/I differential pressure transmitter, the 1.p and h.p. implse lines from the orifice
plates being connected to the respective sides of the transmitter mounting block valve.
The cabling to the transmitter enables a 420mA output signal to be sent to theelectro-pneumatic cabinet in the engine room
.
via the appmvcd MCT kit and zencr barrier. This signal IS then included in the data information being sent to the MCU for
processing.
The system compises of a JRC JLN-550 speed log set for 200 pulses/Nrn, the transmitted signal of which is coupled directly
to the Oilcon MCU. Verification of the signalaccuracy may be made by comparison to the speed indicator I repeater
positioned in the Wheelhouse.

SECTION 8
When the line flushing and preoperational checks have been carried out the following operation procedures are canied out at
the Main control unit shown in Drg 08061264.
Advise Bridge Watch (and Engine room) that discharge ofextraordinaryballast or slops is in progress. The Bridge lookout
should be instructed to inform the Office~on-watchof any oil discolouration noticeable in the &ow or wake of the vessel.
A Seaman, equipped with a walkietalkie radio, should be stationed above the overboard to warn the cargo officer of early oil -
discolouration on reaching low tank levels.

Provided no alarms are activated and after a short delay, 20 sec. or 2 min. a h r an alarm situation is cleared, the overboard
valve command will change to 'OPEN'. This is indicated in the display by;" VNCOM: 0".
The overboard discharge will then automatically he divelted oveboard.

Watch the discharge rate indicated "DISCH" on the MCU, it will increase as the speed of the cargo pump is increased.
NOTE: If the discharge rate approaches the maximum permissible (i.e. 30 Vnm), it can be redued by slowing down the
cargo pump.
The system is now operating fully automatically. If any of the permitted limits are exceeded or if any other alarms are
activated, an alarm will be given, the ballast will he d i v e d to the slop tank and the printer wil record.
When the Oil Discharge M o n i t o ~ gand Control System is running normally, the oil content will be displayed. At regular
intervals a record of the monitor status is printed, which will build up to give a complete printed record of the ballast
discharge. Whenever there is a discharge overboard the Total Oil Discharged will be incremented.
Every 3 minutes the window wash will operate automatically. This is indicated in the display by"M0DE SAMPLE WW".

measuring the discharge overboard whilst flushing.
SECTION 8
In the event of exceeding an operational limit or receiving an equipment malfunctiodarm or visual observation shows
contaminated water being discharged, all operations must be suspended pending further emuent processing (if possible) or
system rectification. seealso section 3, o f h i s manual.
Always ensure overboard valve OD336 closes and re-cirenlating valve OD266 opens on reaching an operational
alarm status.

SECTION 8
Afier 2 minutes of back flush the system changes to the forward flush mode.
In the event of any malfunction of the oil discharge monitoring and control system the following alternative means and
information for use in case of any one failure can be utilsed:
SAMPLING PUMP
-visual observation of outflow and surface of the water
PROCESSOR
- manual calculation using ppm, flowrate and ships speed to ensure discharge 18s than 30VNm
- manual recording
FLOW RATE INDICATING SYSTEM
- manual input of flow rate obtained from pump performance c w e s undelthe end of this section, of this manual or in
the case of the stripping pump from the stroke counter readout in thecargo Control Room in conjunction with the
characteristic curve again, located at the end of this ~ c t i o nof this manual. See also Section 3,of this manual.
In all cases of malfunction, a relative entry into the Oil R m r d Book should be & and retained for later examination. The
blank sheets contained under Section6 of this manual may be used for supportive record.
Note: Any defective oil discharge monitoring and control unit shall be made operable as soon as possible. The
Port State Authority may allow the tanker with a defective unit to undertake one ballast voyage before
proceeding to a repair port.
