PAH Monitoring on Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems Onboard Ships

Monitoring and controlling the discharge of washwater from exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCSs) onboard ships is of paramount importance to ensure compliance with environmental regulations. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has published guidelines, specifically Resolution MEPC. 259(68), that outline the requirements for EGCSs and set criteria for washwater monitoring and discharge.

Measurement of Poly Cyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs):

Inov8 Systems offers advanced monitoring solutions for PAHs, which are a group of organic compounds that can be present in the washwater of EGCSs. Inov8’s GPP and GPS products feature an enhanced UV option that enables the measurement of PAHs with high accuracy. This capability allows ship operators to monitor PAH levels in washwater and ensure compliance with specified criteria.

Inov8 Systems will soon be releasing an option that enables the simultaneous measurement of turbidity, pH, and temperature in a single instrument. This capability provides clear benefits to clients who prefer a comprehensive approach, allowing them to capture all necessary parameters with a single monitor. By consolidating multiple measurements into one instrument, ship operators can streamline their monitoring processes and enhance efficiency.
