Core Challenges of Marine Instrumentation
The marine environment is harsh: long-term seawater corrosion, heavy vibration, wide temperature/humidity swings, and critical instruments must carry classification-society approval (DNV/GL, BV, CCS, ABS, LR). Ballast water treatment systems (BWTS), mandated by IMO, rely on flow, level and TRO (total residual oxidant) analyzers for compliant operation.
Typical Applications
- BWTS: ballast pump flow (electromagnetic flowmeters), ballast tank level (radar/hydrostatic), TRO monitoring (disinfectant analyzers).
- Engine room monitoring: fuel/lube oil tank level, seawater cooling flow, exhaust temperature, bilge level alarm.
- Oily water separation: oil-in-water concentration, discharge flow logging (MARPOL compliance).
- LNG/cargo tanks: cryogenic level (guided radar), pressure/differential pressure.
Recommended Instruments
- E+H Proline Promag W/P: seawater & ballast flow, corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free.
- E+H Micropilot FMR: non-contact tank level, vibration-resistant.
- E+H Cerabar / Deltabar: engine room pressure & differential pressure.
- E+H Liquiline: TRO, pH, dissolved oxygen analysis.
- VEGA radar/guided radar: redundant tank level monitoring.
