OMD-2008 EV FC MCU with Flow Control

The OMD-2008 EV FC MCU is equipped with a Flow Sensor. The Flow Sensor is positioned in the Drain line of the Measuring Cell.

If the flow rate through the Measuring Cell is too low, or if the sample is not flowing at all, the Instrument will go to Alarm condition and issue a “Status: Flow?” message. According to MEPC.107(49) the 15ppm Bilge Alarm has to be provided with a representative sample, i.e. the operator of the instrument is responsible to maintain a proper sample flow through the instrument. The recommended sample flow rate for Deckma instruments is approx. 2 Liters per Minute. At this flow rate, with a common setup of separator and 15ppm Bilge Alarm, it is easily possible to reliably operate the instrument, and to ensure the required short reaction time to changes in the oil content of the effluent water. The instrument does not know about the sample stream flow rate. If circumstances lead to interruptions of the sample flow, or if the sample flow is stopped completely, the portion of the sample that is in the sample glass tube will be measured continuously. The instrument will display the same measurement result for a long time, but it may fail to adequately react to changes in the overboard discharge water oil content. For many years the OMD series instruments have had a dedicated input to connect a flow switch to monitor the sample flow rate. However, not many installation have been made with an additional flow switch. A more easy solution had to be found, a solution that does not require additional pipework, or electrical work, on site. The new OMD-2008 EV FC MCU version of the OMD-2008 instrument come with a flow sensor that measures the sample flow rate, and automatically sets the instrument into alarm condition, if a sufficient flow rate is not maintained. Constructed to make accidental flow interruptions, incorrectly closed valves, and a missing sample stream harmless events that do not lead to unlawful discharge, the OMD-2008 EV FC MCU also makes manipulation and tinkering with the instrument setup much less rewarding. Additionally for the OMD-2008 EV FC MCU instruments a Manual Cleaning Unit (MCU) is available. This system allows to quickly clean the sample glass tube without having to open the Measuring Cell. With the MCU maintenance of the system becomes very easy, ensuring high reliability and reduced maintenance workload.
