By MGN EditorialJuly 7, 2026 at 04:28 PM

Houma, Louisiana-based Separator Spares & Equipment, LLC has been appointed as an Authorized Distributor for Rivertrace Limited, expanding access to the UK manufacturer's marine environmental compliance and oil-in-water monitoring solutions across the Gulf Coast region.

## Separator Spares & Equipment Expands Environmental Compliance Portfolio with Rivertrace Distribution Agreement Separator Spares & Equipment, LLC, a Houma, Louisiana-based supplier specializing in marine separation, heat transfer, oil filtration, and environmental compliance solutions, has been appointed as an Authorized Distributor for Rivertrace Limited, according to a company announcement released July 7, 2026. The appointment strengthens the regional availability of Rivertrace's product line, which includes oil-in-water monitors, bilge alarms, and environmental monitoring systems widely used aboard commercial vessels to support compliance with MARPOL regulations and other international environmental standards. Separator Spares & Equipment has established itself as a key supplier to the marine and offshore sectors operating in and around the Gulf of Mexico, offering technical expertise in shipboard separation and filtration systems. The addition of Rivertrace products to its portfolio positions the company to provide operators with a more comprehensive suite of environmental compliance equipment and support services from a single regional source. Rivertrace Limited, headquartered in the United Kingdom, is a recognized manufacturer of marine environmental monitoring instrumentation. Its systems are installed on vessels across a broad range of sectors, including tankers, bulk carriers, offshore support vessels, and naval platforms, helping operators meet increasingly stringent discharge monitoring requirements. The Gulf Coast region represents a significant concentration of commercial marine activity, including offshore energy support, inland waterway operations, and deep-sea shipping. Having a locally based, authorized distributor with established relationships in the sector is expected to improve response times for spare parts, technical support, and system commissioning services. The announcement reflects a broader industry trend of environmental compliance technology suppliers strengthening their regional distribution networks as vessel operators face growing regulatory scrutiny over overboard discharge management and bilge water treatment. Further details regarding the scope of the distribution agreement and the full range of Rivertrace products available through Separator Spares & Equipment were not disclosed in the announcement.
