Bilge Alarm monitor an imperative part of the vessel

Fluid level control is imperative for many reasons if you want to run your ship in a hassle-free way. Too much or too little fluid in a container can be deleterious, so it needs to be monitored and controlled properly to avoid any mishap. Here, comes a bilge alarm monitor (15 ppm) which usually monitor the oil content of the separated or filtered water. And also prevents the discharge of fluid into the sea if the oil content exceeds 15ppm. Furthermore, the 15ppm bilge alarm can be used as a simple oil content alarm for other applications where other substances or solids don’t mix up with water. In the market, bilge alarm is also available as a 5ppm version as per the requirement of the client. It can also be customized or tailor-made for hazardous environment.
