Water quality monitors for ship exhaust gas cleaning systems

Chelsea Technologies Group supplies robust water quality sensor systems for monitoring hydrocarbons, turbidity & pH for use in exhaust gas cleaning systems. 

We have recently supplied Hamworthy Krystallon (Wärtsilä) with sensor systems to monitor their exhaust gas cleaning system as part of the Messina shipbuilding programme.  Each system consists of sensor cabinets monitoring the seawater intake and out-take so comparison data to confirm the exhaust gas cleaning system operate within acceptable emissions limits. Each cabinet monitors Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), turbidity, temperature and pH and incorporates a flow switch. Data from the sensors is relayed to a main control system via an Ethernet connection.  Chelsea's low cost UviLux hydrocarbon sensor has been re-configured for the specific requirements for both the PAH and turbidity measurements, the latter being compliant with ISO7027: 1999 International Standard.

The work we are doing with Hamworthy Krystallon (Wärtsilä) expands our existing capability in the supply of in-line monitoring systems to the maritime sector. This is a natural extension to our business supplying FerryBox environmental systems for commercial vessels and ships of opportunity.
