Professional Onboard Oily Water Separator Analyzer Testing, Calibration and Maintenance
Kraken Marine Electric provides professional O.W.S. analyzer testing and calibration services for onboard Oily Water Separator systems. We also service 15 ppm bilge alarm monitoring equipment.
The Oily Water Separator is one of the most important pollution prevention systems onboard vessels. Accurate analyzer performance and reliable 15 ppm alarm operation are essential for safe bilge water treatment and environmental protection. In addition, these are required for compliance with applicable MARPOL requirements. Regular OWS analyzer calibration, testing and maintenance helps vessel operators verify that the system operates correctly. This also reduces the risk of improper discharge, non-compliance and operational failure.
Our service covers inspection, functional testing, calibration, alarm verification, control output checks, maintenance and documentation for O.W.S. analyzers. It also covers related monitoring equipment.

Why O.W.S. Analyzer Calibration Is Essential
The 15 ppm bilge alarm is designed to monitor oil content in treated bilge water. It will activate alarm or control functions when the oil concentration exceeds the permitted limit. If the analyzer is not correctly tested, calibrated or maintained, the vessel may face inaccurate readings or false alarms. There is also the risk of failed alarm activation or improper discharge.
Regular Oily Water Separator calibration helps ensure that the analyzer gives accurate readings. Furthermore, alarm and control functions will operate reliably during vessel operation.
Professional O.W.S. analyzer testing can identify issues such as:
- Incorrect ppm reading
- Analyzer drift
- Contaminated measuring cell
- Dirty optical surfaces
- Blocked or restricted sample lines
- Faulty alarm output
- Defective control relay
- Failure of automatic stopping function
- Incorrect zero or span response
- Unstable measurement
- Sensor or electronic faults
- Poor maintenance condition
- Risk of non-compliant operation
Early detection and correction of these faults improves the reliability of the O.W.S. system. As a result, it supports safe, compliant vessel operation.
15 PPM Bilge Alarm Testing
The 15 ppm bilge alarm test is a critical part of O.W.S. analyzer maintenance. During testing, the analyzer response, alarm activation and related control outputs are checked. This verifies correct operation.
Depending on the system configuration, our technicians can check the alarm function and control relay operation. They also check the automatic stopping signal and associated monitoring circuits. This ensures that the analyzer not only displays a reading, but also performs its required safety and environmental protection functions.
Reliable 15 ppm alarm performance helps protect:
- The vessel
- The crew
- The marine environment
- Shipowners and managers
- Compliance records
- Port State Control readiness
- Long-term operational reliability
Oily Water Separator Maintenance and Fault Diagnosis
In addition to calibration and testing, Kraken Marine Electric provides Oily Water Separator analyzer maintenance and troubleshooting. Many O.W.S. analyzer problems are caused by contamination, poor sample flow or dirty measuring cells. In some cases, aging components or incorrect system response are responsible.
Our technicians inspect the analyzer and related monitoring equipment to identify technical issues affecting measurement accuracy or alarm reliability. Where required, cleaning, adjustment, fault diagnosis and corrective recommendations are provided.
Our goal is to help vessels maintain accurate analyzer performance. We also aim for dependable O.W.S. operation under real marine conditions.
