Rivertrace Engineering Limited

Rivertrace Engineering Limited is an ISO9001 Quality Assured Company and market leader with over 30 years experience of Oil in Water monitoring.

In the early years the product range was limited to the 15 ppm Oily water separator monitors, models OCD1 & OCD2 and these were later joined by the highly sensitive and successful OCD50 series for Boiler condensate monitoring.


In 1989 Rivertrace expanded into the Offshore industry and produced a range of custom made Oil in Water analysers for a variety of applications and soon became the leading supplier in the North Sea Oilfields.

The OCD1 & OCD2 were superseded in 1994 by the OCD1M and OCD2M which in turn were replaced by the OCD CM in the year 2000 with the introduction of IMO resolution MEPC 60(33). In 2004 the “Smart- Bilge” monitor was designed and launched to comply with the new IMO resolution MEPC 107 (49) applicable from the 1st January 2005.

In the early 1990’s many requests were received for Oil Discharge Monitoring systems from a number of our clients and it appeared that existing ODM systems had a bad name and improvements could be made to the designs. In conjunction with our customers we drew up a specification for an ODM that whilst still working under the IMO regulations managed to improve on equipment available in the market at that time and the RTE Oil Discharge Monitor OCD10M was launched in late 1995.

As a result of the changes in IMO regulations and the introduction of MEPC 108 (49) also applicable from 1st January 2005, a new design, ‘Smart ODME’, was introduced featuring advanced measuring principles incorporating ‘PFM’ technology.

Today Rivertrace employs around 25 people at our 10,000 sq. ft. factory close to Redhill, 20 Miles south of central London and our global network of agents ensures local service and support worldwide.

The product range today is still entirely based around oil in water quality monitoring equipment and our enviable client list includes most of the European, American and Japanese separator manufacturers and Major International shipping companies together with the leading Offshore Oil and Gas Operators and Major land based Industrial Organisations .

"Smart-Cell" Bilge Alarm

The Rivertrace "Smart-Cell" Bilge Alarm meets the requirements of 107 (49) by utilising "Smart-Cell" Detector Array Technology, a technology developed within Rivertrace. With this technology, the Bilge Alarm is able to analyse all three oil types stipulated within the regulation simultaneously without the need for re-calibration.

The OCD-CM ABMS provides peace of mind discharge and addresses safety issues in several areas; It ensures that only one sample can flow at any one time, either clean water or bilge water. If clean and bilge water are flowing at the same time the system detects this as an illegal condition and will failsafe to the alarm condition, in turn sending a signal to the overboard valve to close.

The latest innovation from Rivertrace Engineering is the OCD10M Ballast Monitor which has been designed to meet the strict requirements of the latest amendments to IMO resolution A586(14) which restricts the amount of oil discharged via the ballast system to 30 litres per nautical mile. The system is designed to be compact and easy to install, with the minimum amount of maintenance. The systems are supported by a world-wide service network.
