It is mandatory for all the vessels operating at sea to have this plant on board, failed to do so, attracts huge penalty even capital punishment internationally.
There is often spillage of water and oil in the engine room bilges and require evacuation or draining out when the bilges are full.
Ships are not supposed to pump out oil overboard, is internationally banned, heavy penalty is imposed if done so, since this spoils environment and life at sea both for human and water animals.
The proposed project will be used to sense the oil containment in the water and separates it from the water and discharge in other sink to safeguard the marine species. Appropriate actions are taken to separate the two liquids by simultaneous opening and closing of the valve with removal of water via pump.
The proposed project also gives the flexibility to the engineer-on watch to get the status of the control plant on the screen. The bilge and constituent liquid level get displayed on screen. Whether water is being discharged or oil is visualized on the screen. The operating mode of the suction pump, overboard valve and waste oil tank valve is displayed on the screen.
The proposed project also possesses facility of Data Logging via Serial Port using RS232 Protocol. The level of the water is sensed and the same is logged into the Computer Graphical User Interface (GUI) will be designed using Microsoft Visual Basic.
The main idea behind data logging is to make the proposed project so handy that even officer can have an overview of the vessel hydraulics from its computer screen. He can activate/deactivate the sensor as per his vision over the water level. This is one of the most important features over other bilge oil water separator.
