Benefits

Government bodies

Government bodies are permanent members of the club with their web address inter-linked to the Oil-in-Water monitoring club website. The club provides an excellent source of information regarding the implementation of legislation and what problems and difficulties may have been experienced in meeting legislation. It will also aim to help formulate governmental policy at an international level on the issues of produced water discharge and produced water oil content monitoring / measurement.

Offshore oil and gas operators

The club provides useful information about how other people prevent oily water being discharged by sharing good operational experience with others on on- line Oil-in-Water monitoring. Also, good practice on monitor selection to installation, calibration to instrument maintenance and training will be promoted. These are particularly useful for those who have not had much experience with on-line Oil-in-Water monitors. The club activities also provide information on both new technology and legislative developments.

OIW monitor manufacturers and suppliers

Manufacturers and suppliers have the opportunity to have their company web address linked to that of the club. It will also provide a place to find out what the legislative and industrial requirements are, and to learn operational experience from operators and other monitor suppliers.

R&D and consultancy based organisations

The club will keep R&D and consultancy based organisations informed about legislative and technology developments. It may also provide opportunities for the R&D organisations to find perfect partners in developing a prototype Oil-in-Water monitoring devices and/or to arrange field trials.
