THis patent aplication discloses an oil content monitor/control unit system which is configured to automatically monitor and control processed effluent from an associated oil/wter separator so that if the processed effluent exceeds predetermined in-port or at-sea oil concentration limits, it s either recirculated to an associated oil/water separator via a ship's bilge for additional processing, or diverted to a holding tank for storage. On the other hand, if the oil concentration of the processed effluent is less than determined in-port or at-sea limits, it s discharged overboard.
