Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) Troubleshooting and Repair
Ensuring Environmental Compliance, Accuracy, and Reliable Operation
An Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) system is a legally mandated environmental protection installation on product and crude oil tankers. In accordance with MARPOL Annex I regulations, the ODME continuously monitors, calculates, and records the instantaneous rate of oil discharge during slop tank deballasting and tank washing operations.
If an ODME system malfunctions, tanker deballasting operations must halt immediately, resulting in costly commercial delays and potential PSC infractions.
ODME Diagnostic and Repair Scope
Our marine instrumentation engineers diagnose and resolve faults across leading ODME systems:
- Oil Content Meter (OCM) measuring cell cleaning, optical realignment, and sensor replacement
- Flow meter telemetry verification and differential pressure transmitter calibration
- Sample pump overhaul, flushing valve servicing, and sample line declogging
- Central computing unit troubleshooting, data logger verification, and GPS input checks
- Automated overboard discharge valve interlock testing and fail-safe trip verification
- System commissioning and operational certification for classification compliance
