9th Aug 2023, our service engineer for RWO oil water separator was mobilized for a 15ppm OMD (oil monitor device) calibration work (in accordance to MEPC 107(49). Unlike others, our calibration includes the health check of the oily water separator (OWS).
RWO GmbH's concept is, the OMD is part and one of the OWS, and should always be checked during the visit. If the calibration is only done and ignoring if the OWS is functioning, then it defeats the purpose of the service visit.
Upon visit, our engineer will visit the C/E (Chief Engineer) and request that oily water separator to be turned on and run. He will make sure that there is no error messages from the system, general condition of the OWS and OMD is visually okay, and sampling water passed the 15ppm requirement.
Next, he will check if the ship has 1 set of spare coalescer, 1 complete set of absorber polisher and other consumable parts available for replacement.
Then, he will first perform the fresh water test to make sure that the result is 0 ppm (free of any oil particles)
Our engineer once completed the 0 ppm test, will prepare the test liquid (genuine part from DECKMA) to perform another 2 tests with pre-determined mixture and results. In case the readings are off, we will be able to make small adjustments, and if it is far off, then a factory calibration will be required.
First test - 5ppm. We want to get a return of close to the intended result as possible.
Second test - 15ppm. Once both results concluded, we will issue a "Calibration Check Certificate" on behalf of the OMD manufacturer DECKMA, to the ship. A copy of the report sent to DECKMA for audit purposes. Total time spent onboard the vessel to perform the service is around 3 hours, sufficient for must port calls.
