SkimOil TD-107 Fluorescence Oil Content Monitor

SkimOil TD-107 Fluorescence Oil Content Monitor 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 is immune to interference’s by turbidity or particles/sediments in the bilge which impact competing “light scatter” oil content monitors. Because silt / algae / iron oxide / mud, junk 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 re-circulation mode without ever pumping down the oily waste holding tanks.

The TD-107 Bilge Oil Content Monitor (OCM) is a non-contact, non-fouling, low maintenance oil-in-water monitor based on fluorescence detection technology. Fluorescence occurs when a molecule absorbs light energy of one specific wavelength and emits light energy of a longer wavelength. Fluorescent compounds each have a unique signature, and these compounds can be displayed as an actual concentration. Fluorescence makes the TD-107 resistant to interferences by turbidity or particles/sediments in the bilge which impact light scatter OCMs. If a substance does not fluoresce at specific wavelengths for the monitored oil molecule, it will not interfere as a ‘false positive’.

The TD-107 Bilge Oil Content Monitor is IMO MEPC 107(49) certified and approved by the USCG for use as a bilge monitor / bilge alarm. It comes equipped with required data logger and can be customized to show system trends. The oil content monitor is designed to be fully automated and low maintenance, with no tubes, valves, filters, or pumps to replace. The system’s one moving part has a life expectancy of greater than 5 years. Routine maintenance involves changing a lamp once a year.
