Smoke Colour Detection System

Abstract

In marine industry, time is very crucial during troubleshooting & rectification. Every delayed of this action will cause severe loss for the business. So, the idea of this whole project is to shorten the time period in rectify and troubleshoot when excessive smoke produces by every machines/engine that powered by combustion system such as Main Diesel Engine, Auxiliary Diesel Engine, Boiler & Incinerator. Nowadays different smoke color produced are caused by different type of problem in the combustion system. So, by recognizing what color of this smoke, engineers can shorten the time to rectify the problems and take necessary action to bring back the system in normal state. This paper will offer a development of smoke color detection system that informs duty engineer what color of excessive smoke produced such as in boiler during cargo discharge operation in oil tanker.
