With the IMO’s 2020 global sulphur cap fast approaching, a popular solution to ensure compliance is to install an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS).
For this, wet scrubber systems use wash water to remove the pollutants from the exhaust gas. Therefore the wash water being discharged must be monitored at all times to ensure it is within the limits set by the regulating body. There are IMO regulations for water quality parameters including Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), pH and turbidity prior to discharge into the ocean.
Rivertrace is an ISO 9001 Quality-Assured Company and market leader in Oil in Water Quality Monitoring, with over 30 years’ experience and your partner to ensure that the wash water discharged from your exhaust gas cleaning systems is compliant with the global regulations on discharge.
Our SMART ESM monitor developed by Rivertrace, is suitable for both the inlet and outlet of a wet exhaust gas cleaning system, measuring and recording PAH, Turbidity, Temperature and pH, on open-loop, closed-loop and hybrid scrubber systems.
The SMART ESM is fully compliant with MEPC 259(68) and provides reliable information to ensure compliance with the worldwide SOx limits.
