Abstract
A method and apparatus for treating fluids on a marine vessel, especially bilge and ballast water, in which the fluid to be treated is passed through filtering and coalescing devices to bring about separation of the oil from the water, whereupon the oil is delivered to an oil tank and the water is discharged overboard. The purity of the discharged water is continuously monitored by a turbidity meter and the flow of the fluid through the system is controlled thereby so that the discharged water will meet all pollution standards.
