please add the details on correct way of testing 15ppm monitor. some are telling that it is enough to insert the cleaning brush into the sensing chamber to simulate the alarm. is this the correct method?

Additional information: Nowadays, oily water separator are equip with additional monitor with memory and printer to know the time and position when the equipment was started and stopped. So, we cannot escape or lie about the use of this equipment.

Good Suggestions , to add ,It is alaways a good practice to test the 15 PPM alarm to ensure it is operational before starting the OWS. Some ship owners have fitted white boxes in the OWS discharge line to record the start, flush , stop time & oil content trend of effuluent being pumped overboard. It is also possible to record the position at start & during the entire period the OWS is operational if GPS feed is provided. Need to check the functioning of whitebox OCM as well. Engineers should record the correct timings in ORB as there could be errors in recorded timings & timings in Whitebox data.
