The SMART ESM is a washwater monitor for wet scrubber systems measuring and recording PAH, Turbidity, Temperature and pH.
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.
With over 35 years experience designing equipment for the marine environments, Rivertrace has developed our SMART ESM. The SMART ESM designed to MEPC.259(68) and is suitable for both the inlet and outlet of a EGCS, measuring and recording the required parameters of PAH, Turbidity, Temperature and pH. The monitor can be installed on new build of retrofit systems and can accommodate open-loop, closed-loop and hybrid scrubber systems.
The innovative measuring cell design allows for unique Plug and play maintenance design. Each measurement parameter is enclosed in a separate cassette slotted inside the measuring cell around the sample tube. This allows the calibrated parts to be swapped without the need of isolating the sample which flows through a glass tube in the centre of the cell.
We offer 2 main designs for our equipment which can be customised further with additional components based on technical requests.
Option 1 – Frame Mounted. This option is based on a modular design all mounted onto a frame / backplate. It consists of a cooled cabinet housing the Control Module and Measuring Cell with a separate enclosure for the electronics.
Option 2 – Box Mounted. This option is based on a twin enclosure design.
It consists of a cooled cabinet housing the Control Module and electronics and a separate compartment for the Measuring Cell and sample conditioning equipment.
Other optional components include:
