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The OCD1 & OCD2 were superseded in 1994 by the OCD1M and OCD2M which in turn were replaced by the OCD CM in the year 2000 with the introduction of IMO resolution MEPC 60(33).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.

Today we are at the forefront in designing new systems that not only meet but go beyond legislative requirements and with the introduction of the Smartsafe Bilge Overboard Security System we hope we will continue to meet new environmental challenges head on.

Rivertrace Engineering Ltd produce a range of products that meet and exceed the I.M.O. resolutions MEPC 107(49) and MEPC 108 (49) relating to water discharges from ships.

Ongoing development ensures Rivertrace products remain at the forefront of available technology and consistently push the boundaries of oil-in-water analysis.
