| Popis: | The current study uses reliability models for the improvement of the operation of a ship's "bilge — water separator" system. A "bilge-water separator" is a mechanism which cleans and inspects the ship's bilge water before it is discharged into the sea. Homogeneous continuous time Markov models have been used to record and estimate possible hazards and system failures in two different operational scenarios. If the photocell unit of the system fails, the ship may cause severe sea pollution. This study attempts to estimate the probability of sea pollution based on empirical data. In addition, the results of the model are compared with those of a system in which a second metering unit is added in an effort to to find out if this alteration improves the systems' efficiency. |
