Bilge water treatment system for ships (self-cleaning)
COMPACT GEA Westfalia Separator Systems

The product (i.e. oily water) is sucked up from the oily water tank or engine room bilge and fed by the feed pump through the filter and preheater via the feed valve to the separator. During the start-up or ejection program it is led back into the oily water tank. The product flows from above into the centre of the separator bowl. The heavy water phase is separated from the finest oil particles and then conveyed under pressure by a centripetal pump to the discharge.

The separated impurities accumulated in the sludge space are discharged into the sludge tank periodically. The clean water discharge is supervised by an oil monitor and discharged into the environment. If the oil content exceeds 15 or 5 ppm the water is recirculated into the oily water tank. An intelligent process control adapts the capacity of the system to the changes of the product.
