Do you need to meet IMO/MEPC 107 (49)?

In January of 2005, many countries and the international shipping community in general, began requiring new ships and ships replacing separators (over 400 tons) to meet the new IMO MEPC 107(49) requirements. This regulation requires removal of not only free oil as the previous regulation did, but also what is called "fluid C" or what is generally accepted and defined as "emulsions". Also oil content monitors are required to track results of separation. This new requirement has significantly raised the price of a bilge separator and limited the separators to choose from. The BRUTE Series 107 marine oil water separator (USCG approved), brings you the best, most economical system available today to meet this new requirement. Our filter exchange program makes it easy to replace and dispose of spent filters, although we do not hold you captive to use "only our filter media" The filter media used is generic and readily available thruout North and South America.

The new IMO MEPC 107(49) requirements do require that the oil content monitors are able to detect emulsified oils, whereas the old style oil content monitors (IMO/MEPC 60 (33) could be easily fooled by emulsified oils, allowing for possible "illegal discharges of oils" over and above the 15 ppm limits.

Even for those not mandated to comply with IMO/MEPC 107 (49), the BRUTE 107 Series separator system provides a level of insurance against "illegal—over limit discharges."
