PureBilge

How it works PureBilge is a fully automatic, all-in-one system with a pumping stage, a Documentation preheating stage, and a centrifugal separation stage, with full process control Contact and monitoring. It comprises a BWPX 307 high-speed separator, a control cabinet housing an EPC 60 bilge process controller, a valve and pipe rack and a feed pump module.

How it works

Operating principle
A feed pump with variable-frequency drive control directs oily water into the PureBilge system from the bilge water settling tank or its equivalent. After passing through a strainer that traps large particles present in the feed, the fluid passes through a heat exchanger that raises its temperature to the required level for optimum separation efficiency (generally 60-70C). A three-way changeover valve then directs the fluid to the separation stage if all process conditions, such as feed temperature, feed pressure and separator speed, fall within preset process values. If any process condition is not met, the valve re-circulates the fluid back to the bilge water settling tank. The patented XLrator laminar flow inlet device gently accelerates the bilge water into the separator bowl with a minimum of shearing and foaming. This greatly improves separation efficiency by preventing the splitting of oil drops and the further formation of emulsions. This is the key to PureBilges superior performance, compared to other centrifugal separation based systems.

The PureBilge disc-stack centrifugal separator rotates with a gravitational force of 6,000 G generated at 8,000 rpm. Oil and emulsions are separated from the oily water and discharged continuously through the oil outlet. Solids that collect at the separator bowl periphery are discharged intermittently at preset intervals and are directed to a collecting tank for sludge or waste oil. A built in water pump, or paring disc, continuously discharges separated bilge water via the clean water outlet. The destination of the separated bilge water depends upon its oil content, which is continuously monitored at an isokinetic sampling point by an oilin-water monitor. If the oil content is below the preset alarm limit, which can be set from zero to 15 ppm, the separated bilge water can be pumped directly overboard or into a clean bilge water holding tank for overboard discharge later. If the oil content exceeds the ppm limit, the effluent is returned for reprocessing.
