SYSTEM PROTECTION

Wavestream Bilge Water Filtration System

Bilge water invariably contains oil, which if not properly separated will be dumped into the seas and rivers of the world through the bilge pump. Legislation to prevent this operates in most parts of the world, and is being progressively tightened. Discharge of oily bilge water is strictly controlled. In some areas the limit is zero and in others it is 5 or 15 parts per million if these are exceeded there are significant fines. Wavestream removes all traces of oil to less than 1 part per million – it is up to us all to protect our marine environment.

Exhaust Alert Alarm

It is important that you also protect your engines and gensets. Marine diesel exhaust systems are designed to take temperatures of only 120°C. If the water cooling system fails exhaust gases can quickly reach more than 450°C. At this temperature the exhaust will overheat and causing serious damage. In most situations Halyard’s Exhaust Alert will warn you before serious damage occurs.

Sea Strainer Alarm

The final answer to blocked sea strainers - Halyard’s Sea Strainer Alarm alerts you in micro-seconds if the raw water flow to the engine cooling pump is seriously reduced. Or if you start the engine with the seacocks turned off.
