Under the influence of the centrifugal forces, separation of the liquid mixture
and/or ejection of the solids particles takes place most rapidly.
The specifically heavier components are displaced to the bowl periphery,
whereas the specifically lighter components are displaced towards the centre of
the bowl.
The high centrifugal force is produced by very high bowl speeds. On the one
hand, high bowl speeds signify high efficiency, while on the other hand, they
signify high material stressing of the separator.

1.6 Corrosion
Corrosion can also affect bowl parts made of stainless steel. This corrosion can
be flat-spread or pit- or crack-shaped and merits special attention.
Corrosion on stainless steel bowl material should be examined thoroughly and
documented.
Flat-spread corrosion can usually be measured (reduction of wall thickness)
Pit- or crack-shaped corrosion cannot be measured without the risk of damage.
At the initial stage pit-shaped corrosion is generally caused by chlorine ions.
Depending on the stressing of the part, pit-shaped corrosion can result in crack-
shaped corrosion.
Fig. 52
Pittings
Pittings which are close together or
form a linear pattern can signify crack
formation beneath the surface.
Such pittings should be investigated
by a materials expert.

1.7 Erosion
Erosion is caused by solid particles in the process liquid.
These solid particles grind marks into the surfaces with which they come into
contact.
The following factors favour the occurrence of erosion:
• hard solids particles
• high throughput capacities
The first signs of erosion should be carefully observed and documented. Ero-
sion can deepen rapidly, thereby weakening the bowl material.

1.8 The health hazards involved when handling heavy oils and lube oils
As a result of the deterioration in quality of fuel oils, the danger has arisen that the heavy oils used on
board contain greater amounts of substances injurious to health. These include:
- polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons,
- lead compounds,
- chemical residues.
An increased amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is also present in used lube oils (waste oils).
The health hazards for the engine room staff depend to a large extent
• on the concentrations of the dangerous substances,
• the ambient air (inhalation of oil vapours/oil mist),
• the intensity and duration of the contact with the skin or mucous membrane.

2.3 General
The machine described in this manual is a high-speed centrifugal separator with
self-cleaning bowl.
"Separation" means the separation of liquid mixtures which consist of two liq-
uids, with simultaneous removal of the solids contained in the liquids.
"Clarification" is the removal of solids from a liquid.
Prerequisite for treatment technology (separation) is that the components of the
product
– can be separated mechanically,
– have different densities and
– do not emulsify.
The most important part of the separator is the bowl. Depending on the applica-
tion, the bowl in design -0136- can be converted to function:
• as clarifier/purifier bowl (WMS) or
• clarifier bowl with self-thinker control system (SMS).
Conversion of the clarifier/purifier bowl into a clarifier bowl with self-thinker con-
trol system and vice versa can be done in a few easy steps:

When the sensing liquid inlet becomes blocked with water or solids accumula-
tion in the sludge space (15), the pressure transmitter (6) sends a pulse to the
control unit (10) and the automatic ejection program is initiated.
The control and monitoring unit (10) ensures unmanned operation.

2.4.3 Separator with sludge space monitoring system (SMS only!) for fuel
oil treatment (design -0136-) (for operation in series)
Fig. 63
The SMS for fuel oil treatment is used for clarification in two-stage fuel oil treat-
ment.
The fuel oil is fed to the clarifier by the discharge centripetal pump of the up-
stream purifier.
The clarified clean oil is discharged (2) under pressure by centripetal pump (12).
The bowl is automatically opened and closed for desludging at full bowl speed
by means of a solenoid valve (19) in the operating water line.
A small volume of liquid is diverted via separating disk (13) as a partial flow (9).
It is conveyed by the sensing liquid pump (11) to the pressure transmitter (6)
and recycled into the feed (1) via a throttle (20).
When the sensing liquid inlet becomes blocked with water or solids accumula-
tion in the sludge space (15), the pressure transmitter (6) sends a pulse to the
control unit (10). The automatic ejection program is initiated.
The complete treatment system is monitored by the control system (10).

3 Operation
2059-9001-050 / 0108
Westfalia Separator
68 Mineraloil Systems GmbH
Procedure:
• Select the desired operating mode on the control unit.
• Set the separating time on the control unit.
• Start the separator (see 3.2).
Displacement
• When separating, the loss of feed liquid unavoidable during ejection can be
reduced to a minimum by displacing the feed liquid with water before sludge
ejection takes place (especially important when processing valuable feed liq-
uid).
• The duration of displacement water supply is given in the timer overview (see
control unit manual).
2059-9001-050 / 0108
Westfalia Separator
Mineraloil Systems GmbH 69
• If the displacement time is too long, water will discharge through the light liq-
uid outlet.
• If the displacement time is too short, part of the product remains in the bowl
and is lost during desludging.
Flush ejection
If the solids cant be completely ejected,
– due to an excessively long dwell time in the bowl or
– are stuck too firmly on the wall of the solids holding space due to the solids
properties,
• either the separating time must be shortened or
• a flush ejection must be carried out after the total ejection by filling the bowl
with water or product and emptying it again.
Program control
• "Displacement", "ejection" and "flush ejections" at precisely defined intervals
are best carried out with the automatic control unit.
• The clean oil discharge and water discharge can be monitored.
• Faults can be signalled visually or audibly.

The separator is driven by a three-phase AC motor via a centrifugal clutch and
the drive belt.
The specified motor ratings are minimum values which are based on the in-
creased starting current. Since the current consumption of the motor drops after
start-up, overloading of the motor during operation is not possible.
The starting time depends on the
– flywheel effect of the bowl,
– number of clutch shoes used,
– condition of the clutch shoes.
The starting current can peak at about 1.8 - 2 times the rated current (see start-
up diagram). This is to be considered when selecting switches, lead-in wires
and fuses.
The motor
– can be started direct online (WS standard) or via a motor control for star-
delta switching (Ex-zone).

4.2.6 Comments on table of lubricating oils for separators from Westfalia Separator
Faultless functioning of separators very much depends on the proper type of lubricating oil used, since a
high grade oil, selected to meet all service requirements, will minimize the wear, thus extending the ser-
vice life and increasing the operating safety.
For the lubrication of our separators we recommend to use the oils specified by us since continuous qual-
ity checks are performed by Westfalia Separator. Oils proposed from some firms are not subjected to
these tests.
Therefore, Westfalia Separator cannot give a performance guarantee for those oils.
Be sure to select only high grade solvent refined products.
The specified oil types meet the requirements according to DIN. Under unfavourable operating condi-
tions, e.g. high temperatures, the quality of the oils may be insufficient so that more efficient oils, e.g.
synthetic oils, must be used. If necessary, consult Westfalia Separator.
For the different separator types and oil types the viscosity ranges are specified in the table of lubricating
oils.
The operating temperature of the separator exceeds normally 80 oC (176 oF). At those temperatures
some oils age quickly, so that they have to be changed prematurely.
Be sure not to use lubricating oils with viscosities lower than those specified in the table. Due to the pos-
sibility of the oil film breaking down, oil of too low a viscosity will give insufficient lubrication, resulting in
increased wear. However, oils with a slightly higher viscosity than specified may be used.
Bear in mind that the viscosity groups SAE 30, 40 and 50 (SAE = Society of Automotive Engineers)
cover larger viscosity ranges and be sure to select lubricating oils with viscosities not lower than the
minimum values of the viscosity ranges restricted for the different separator types.

General
The centrifugal clutch
• ensures power transmission between motor, drive belt and spindle.
• brings the bowl gradually to rated speed,
• eliminates premature wear to drive belt and motor.
Note that the driving effect of new clutch shoes will improve after several starts.
Smoking of the clutch during the first few starts is perfectly normal and will dis-
appear after a short time of operation.

4.10 Storage
ATTENTION!
Improper and incorrect storage of the separator and control unit can dam-
age or destroy their components.
Note:
Gaskets, hoses and hosepipes, for example, change their physical properties in
unfavourable storage conditions. This can result in a shorter service life. They
can be rendered useless due to excessive hardening, softening, permanent de-
formation, flaking, cracks or other surface damage.
IMPORTANT:
• Outdoor exposure is not admissible!
IMPORTANT:
A storage time of more than 12 months of the separator and control unit is
only possible after consulting the manufacturer.
4.10.2 Separator:
The following procedure applies
– for storing the separator before commissioning and
– for storing the separator before a prolonged standstill period.
IMPORTANT:
• Store the separator with dismantled bowl!

to a long standstill period or storage),
• check all bowl parts as specified in the maintenance schedule (table “Mainte-
nance after 4000 operating hours or after 6 months at the latest”).
• Replace if necessary.
If the separator has been out of operation for longer than 12 months (e.g. due
to a long standstill period or storage),
• check all separator parts in accordance with the maintenance schedule (table
“Maintenance after 8000 operating hours or after 1 year at the latest).
• Replace if necessary.
Procedure:
