Keep oceans clean with ”Ocean Clean®”
Bilge Water separator approved to IMO-Res. MEPC 107 (49).
The “Ocean Clean EB” series from 0,25 to 5,0 m³/h capacity is designed on the background of 30 years of experience of oil-water separation of its designer Dieter van Züren.
The “Ocean Clean” system fulfilles the test specification of a.m. IMO-Resolution more than required. The maximum oil content in the effluent water is less than 5ppm. The “Ocean Clean EB” is a 3-stage oil-water-emulsion separating system.
The first stage is a gravity coarse separation stage, able to separate the input of up to 100% oil, without stops for flushing intervals. The oil water separation is forced by a special inlet, producing a hydrocyclone effect.
The second stage is a coalescence stage, separating finest oil droplets from the water. The coalescer is made of oil-and acid resistant Polyether-foam, self cleaned by automatic backflushing. Its life time is 3-5 years.
The separated oil is detected by conductive measuring method and drained by automatic operated drain valves.
There are no moving parts inside the 1st and 2nd stage.
The third stage is an emulsion breaking stage by means of special infused filter membranes with hydrophobic surface, a.e. water can flow through it, but every oil particles of an emulsion are retained.
The de-oiled and emulsion-free water is discharged to overboard after passing a 15ppm alarm (to be adjusted to 5ppm). The life time of the filter membranes is approx. 2 years.
Because of the systems pump is pressing the bilge water through it, there are no restrictions regarding the suction head. For a suction head of above 6mtr., the pump may be installed apart from the separator on a lower position.
The “Ocean Clean EB” bilge water separator in standard is delivered ready to plug on, with all internal piping and wiring.
