Cara Kerja OWS | Oily Water Separator
Sintesi
TLDRThe video outlines the responsibilities of ship crews in ensuring safe and environmentally sound operations, highlighting the use of Oily Water Separators (OWS) to manage bilge water effectively. It details the operation of the OWS, including its two-stage filtration process that separates oil from water to comply with international standards. The video emphasizes the importance of routine tests and measurements to ensure proper functioning of the OWS and adherence to environmental regulations.
Punti di forza

The video discusses the duties and responsibilities of ship crews, emphasizing the importance of safely transporting the vessel, crew, cargo, and preserving the marine environment. Specifically, it highlights the prohibition of improperly discharging wastewater into the ocean. The focus then shifts to the operation of an Oily Water Separator (OWS), which separates oily water to meet international regulations that allow a maximum oil content of 15 parts per million (ppm) in the discharged water. The OWS comprises two main stages and utilizes gravity and filtration to separate oil from water, ensuring that only clean water is released overboard.

What is the purpose of the Oily Water Separator (OWS)?
The OWS separates oil from bilge water to ensure that the oil content complies with international regulations before discharging it into the sea.
What is the maximum allowable oil content in the water to be discharged?
The maximum allowable oil content is 15 parts per million (ppm).
How does the OWS process work?
The OWS uses gravity and filtration to separate oil from water in two stages. Oil rises and is filtered out while water is sent for further analysis.
What happens if oil content exceeds the allowed level?
If oil content exceeds 15 ppm, the OWS diverts the water back to a storage tank instead of discharging it.
What tools are used to measure oil content?
An Oil Discharging Meter (ODM) measures the oil content in the water.
What preparations must be made before operating the OWS?
Air and freshwater valves must be opened, and an alarm test should be conducted to ensure the system is functioning properly.
What regulations govern the discharge of oily water?
Ships over 400GT may only discharge oily water under specific conditions, including being at least 12 nautical miles from shore, traveling at a minimum speed, and using an OWS.
What are the two main functions of the ODM that crew members must know?
Crew members must know how to access the test alarm and operation log functions on the ODM.
