The Brannstrom Cleantrack 900 Converting Unit is the central data processing hub of an Oil Discharge Monitoring Equipment (ODME) system. This module is engineered to collect and analyze real-time data from flow meters, speed logs, and oil content sensors to calculate the rate of oil discharge in liters per nautical mile. Compliant with MARPOL Annex I regulations, the Cleantrack 900 ensures that oily water discharges from tankers are strictly monitored and automatically halted via overboard valve control if the legal discharge limits are exceeded.

Product Q&A

Q: What is the primary role of the Converting Unit in the ODME system? A: It acts as the “brain” of the system, receiving inputs from various sensors to calculate the instantaneous rate of discharge of oil and the total quantity discharged, while maintaining a permanent data log for Port State Control inspections.

Q: Does the Cleantrack 900 require a GPS input? A: Yes, per IMO regulations, the system must be interfaced with the ship’s GPS or speed log to accurately calculate the discharge rate relative to the vessel’s speed through the water.

Q: How do you resolve a “Flow Signal Failure” alarm? A: This usually indicates an issue with the external flow meter or the cabling. Check the 4-20mA loop continuity and ensure the flow meter transducer is not obstructed by debris within the discharge pipe.
