1.1 本规范涵盖船上油污消除系统（OPAS）的设计、制造、安装、性能和操作，该系统收集、转移和处理机舱偶然操作产生的所有含油废物。本规范适用于商用和公共船舶，供船上OPA的设计人员、制造商、购买者、安装人员和操作员使用，以确定系统设计、设备制造、设备采购、系统集成和安装以及系统在役运行的要求。本规范及其补充章节可根据具体用户的需求进行定制，涵盖从OPAS新建到单个OPAS设备改装的各个方面。 1.2 OPAS由排水槽、舱底吸管、输送泵、含油舱底水储罐、油渣（污泥）罐、15 ppm舱底水分离器系统、15 ppm舱底水警报、自动停止装置和甲板连接件组成。 15 ppm舱底水分离器被认为适用于从燃油箱中分离含油舱底水和压载水。压载水的处理在其他法规/标准中有规定，本文中没有规定。 1.3 本规范涵盖了从进入OPAS到处理油水混合物、将符合适用排放限值的清洁水排放到船外，以及将分离出的油包含在岸上进行处理或进一步处理的系统。它还包括最小化含油废物产生的概念。本规范旨在补充现有法规，提供用户选项以满足其特定需求，不应被视为替代最重要的法规。 1.4 人们认识到，设计用于处理油轮货舱废水的大容量分离设备的开发和测试存在特殊问题，根据国际海事组织（海事组织）海洋环境保护委员会（MEPC）决议，此类设备无需测试。 107（49）也不包括在本规范中 1.5 有一些方法可以减少舱底或处理含油废物的体积，或两者兼而有之，这些方法不被视为15 ppm舱底分离器系统。示例包括焚烧炉、蒸发器、其组合和其他技术。这类过程可能需要解决系统的所有潜在问题，例如毒理学和向大气的排放。此类方法或过程或两者均不在本规范范围内。 1.6 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。

1.1 This specification covers the design, manufacture, installation, performance, and operation of a shipboard oil pollution abatement system (OPAS) that collects, transfers, and processes all the oily waste generated from incidental operation of machinery spaces. This specification applies to commercial and public vessels and is intended for use by designers, manufacturers, purchasers, installers, and operators of shipboard OPAS to determine the requirements for system design, equipment manufacture, equipment purchase, system integration and installation, and system in-service operation. This specification and its supplementary sections may be tailored to meet the specific user’s needs to cover from OPAS new construction to retrofitting of individual OPAS equipment. 1.2 OPAS is comprised of drain tanks, bilge suctions, transfer pumps, Oily Bilge Water Holding Tanks, Oil Residue (sludge) Tanks, 15 ppm Bilge Separator systems, 15 ppm Bilge Alarm, automatic stopping device, and deck connections. The 15 ppm Bilge Separator is considered to be applicable for use to separate oily bilge water and ballast water from fuel oil tanks. Treatment of ballast water is addressed in other regulations/standards and is not addressed herein. 1.3 This specification covers the system from the point of entering the OPAS until the oil-water mixture is treated, the clean water meeting the applicable discharge limits is discharged overboard, and the separated oil is contained for on shore disposal or further treatment. It also includes concepts for minimizing oily waste generation. This specification is intended to augment the existing regulations, provide the user options to meet their specific needs, and should not be considered a replacement for overriding regulation. 1.4 It is recognized that the development and testing of high capacity separating equipment designed for dealing with effluent from cargo tanks on tankers pose special problems and such equipment is not required to be tested under International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) resolution MEPC.107 (49) nor is it covered in this specification 1.5 There are means to reduce the volume of bilge or process oily waste, or both, that are not considered 15 ppm Bilge Separators systems. Examples include incinerators, evaporators, combinations thereof, and other technologies. Such processes may require addressing all potential issues with the system such as toxicology and emissions to atmosphere. Such means or processes, or both, are out of scope of this specification. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
