Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Oilcon® Mark 6 is an advanced oil discharge monitoring and control system designed for continuous on-line monitoring during de-ballasting operations. It is renowned for its accuracy, reliability, and cost efficiency, meeting MARPOL requirements and ISO 9001 standards.

Principle of Operation
The system uses a unique multiple scattering principle to differentiate between oil and other contaminants like mud or rust. A near-infrared diode light source is used, and the system processes light signals to compute oil levels. Automatic flushing ensures clean sampling lines and reliable operation.

System Features
The system includes a Main Control Unit (MCU), Electro Pneumatic Unit (EPU), flow meter system, skid assembly, and pump/motor assembly. It offers ease of installation, reliable operation, and low operating costs. The system is designed to prevent marine pollution without using additional chemicals.

Technical Specifications
The system operates within a range of 0-1000 ppm with a response time of less than 8 seconds. It is sensitive to solids and operates effectively within a water temperature range of 5˚C to 65˚C. The system supports multiple sample points and has adjustable alarm settings.

Main Components
The MCU processes and displays data such as ship speed, GPS position, and oil discharge rates. The EPU manages control electronics and pneumatic signals. The flow meter system measures water flow, and the skid assembly handles sampled ballast water.

Dimensions & Weights
Key components include the Main Control Unit, Electro Pneumatic Unit, and Skid Assembly, each with specific dimensions and weights suitable for installation in various ship areas.

Conclusion
The Oilcon® Mark 6 system is a comprehensive solution for monitoring oil discharge, ensuring compliance with international standards while promoting environmental protection.

Technical specification 5. Skid assembly The skid assembly contains the necessary items to handle the sampled ballast water to measure the oil content. In the skid assembly a pneumatically operated shuttle valve and window wash pump are installed. The shuttle valve selects between fresh water forward or backward flush and sample. The window wash pump provides a pressure boost to the window flushing water. Also contained in the skid assembly is the intrinsically safe detector cell which contains the revolutionary electronic optical sensing system used to determine oil content. The skid assembly...
