Bilge water pumps and system valves may be operated manually and automatically from local or remote control panels in the machinery space of central control or fire safety.

Example of local control panels for drainage pumps

The pump control panels are equipped with signal lights or illuminated buttons to confirm the confirmation of the selected function. The panels can be fitted with stop buttons with a pump start blocking function or automatic devices that protect the electric motors of the pumps and at the same time allow blocking the start of the unit by disconnecting the power supply. The panel may also have a switch that allows the pump to be set to automatic mode.
The oil-contaminated water separator is usually controlled by a local control panel mounted on the separator unit itself together with the oil-polluted water separator (OCD) monitoring device.
NOTE: OCD device controlled oil pollution, can be adjusted from 1 ppm to a maximum value of 15ppm, but cannot be set higher than the maximum value of 15ppm.
