The TD-107 Fluorescence Oil Content Monitor (OCM) is a 5 ppm or 15 ppm bilge alarm for oily water separators based on fluorescence detection technology. The TD-107 Oil Content Monitor is fully certified by the US Coast Guard for use under IMO MEPC 107(49). Fluorescence makes the TD-107 immune to interferences by turbidity or particles/sediments in the bilge which impact competing "light scatter" oil content monitors. Because silt / algae / iron oxide and other particles do not fluoresce at oil's wavelength, they cannot interfere as a 'false positive' high alarm that will keep the oily water separator in recirculation mode without ever pumping down the oily waste holding tanks.
The TD-107 Fluorescence Oil Content Monitor is a low-maintenance 5 or 15ppm bilge alarm for oily water separator applications and is fully certified for IMO Resolution MEPC 107(49) by the USCG.

In the United States territorial waters, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) limits the discharge of oil and grease in bilge water to 15 ppm, measured by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oil and grease measurement method. The USCG further limits bilge water and oily discharges that cause a visible sheen on the water. Bilge water discharges in international waters are limited to 15 ppm by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Ship operators who violate the discharge limits are subject to large fines by the jurisdictional authority. Please contact NAG Marine for additional classification society approvals.
