DECKMA HAMBURG GmbH OMD-2005 Measuring Cell Art No 7560000208
The DECKMA OMD-2005 Measuring Cell is a high-precision, maintenance-friendly sensor unit designed for the continuous, reliable monitoring of oil content in water. As the core sensing component of DECKMA’s OMD-2005 system, it is engineered for use in demanding marine and industrial applications to ensure compliance with international environmental regulations, such as IMO MEPC.107(49).
This specific part number (7560000208) refers to the Measuring Cell as a spare or replacement part, excluding the central control unit or other system components.
Key Features
-
High Accuracy & Reliability:Â Utilizes proven laser-induced fluorescence technology for precise measurement of hydrocarbons, even at very low concentrations.
-
Robust Design:Â Built to withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive atmospheres.
-
Maintenance-Friendly:Â Features a simple design for easy cleaning, inspection, and service. The robust cell requires minimal routine maintenance.
-
Direct Measurement Principle:Â Measures oil content directly in the water stream, providing a fast and accurate response to changing conditions.
-
Compliance Ready:Â Ensures accurate monitoring for compliance with the 15 ppm alarm and automatic stopping device requirements for oily water separator discharges (OWDS).
-
Compact and Self-Contained:Â The cell is a compact unit that houses the optical components, flow chamber, and necessary connections.

Function & Application
The OMD-2005 Measuring Cell is the “heart” of the monitoring system. Its primary function is to:
-
Receive a Sample:Â A continuous sample of the water to be discharged (e.g., from an oily water separator) is pumped through the measuring cell.
-
Excite and Measure:Â Inside the cell, a laser light source excites any oil molecules present in the water sample. These molecules fluoresce (emit light) at a specific wavelength.
-
Detect Fluorescence:Â A highly sensitive optical detector measures the intensity of this fluorescent light.
-
Generate Signal:Â The intensity of the fluorescence is directly proportional to the concentration of oil in the water. This data is sent as an electrical signal to the central OMD-2005 control unit for processing, display, and alarm triggering.
Primary Use Case:
This measuring cell is a critical spare part for vessels that use the DECKMA OMD-2005 Bilge Alarm System. It is used to replace a faulty or contaminated cell to restore the entire monitoring system to full operation without replacing the entire system.
