Product Introduction

Oil pollution prevention remains one of the most critical environmental responsibilities onboard tankers. International regulations require ships to continuously monitor and control oily water discharges to prevent marine pollution.

The CLEANTRACK 1000B ODME system provides automatic monitoring of oil concentration, discharge rate, ship speed, position, and total oil discharged. The system records operational data and automatically stops overboard discharge whenever legal limits are exceeded.

What Is This Equipment?

The CLEANTRACK 1000B is an Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control System (ODME) installed on oil tankers to ensure compliance with MARPOL Annex I regulations.

The system continuously measures:

• Oil concentration in discharge water
• Ship speed
• Vessel position (GPS)
• Flow rate
• Total quantity discharged
• Instantaneous oil discharge rate

If discharge limits exceed regulatory requirements, the system automatically activates protective actions including overboard valve closure and alarm generation.

Main Components

The CLEANTRACK 1000B system generally consists of:

1. Computer Unit

Located in the Cargo Control Room (CCR).

Functions:

• Operator interface
• Alarm handling
• Data storage
• System configuration

2. Converting Unit

Acts as the main processing and interface module.

Functions:

• Signal conversion
• Sensor communication
• Safety barriers

3. Measuring Cell (Analyzing Unit)

The heart of the system.

Functions:

The measurement principle is based on transmitted and scattered light at multiple angles, enabling accurate oil content determination while compensating for non-oil contaminants.

4. Sample Pump

Continuously draws representative samples from the discharge line.

5. Flow Meter

Measures discharge flow rate.

6. GPS Interface

Provides vessel position information.

7. Speed Log Interface

Calculates oil discharge rate per nautical mile.

8. Overboard Valve Control

Automatically controls discharge permissions.
