High Design and Construction Technology
Experience, knowledge and innovation, united to develop a compact, small footprint and lightweight equipment fully driven by a PLC.
The presence of emulsified oil in the bilge water of the latest generation vessels caused IMO to issue the
resolution MEPC.107(49), which requires that the resulting effluent after bilge water treatment must contain levels below 15 ppm of surfactants.
The treatment of this type of water using traditional bilge water separators has resulted ineffective in achieving these results, so in order to comply with this resolution, in Facet we have developed the bilge water separators with ceramic membrane.
The combination of this technology together with Facet MPak® coalescent plates has allowed that our Facet CPS 3.2E + EMB Separators meet the strict requirements of the aforementioned IMO regulation.
Bilge Water Separators Results
CPS 3.2E + EMB equipment eliminates hydrocarbons in two stages. In the first stage, the free hydrocarbon is separated from water through Facet coalescing plates, while in the second stage emulsions are broken by the ceramic membrane which removes emulsified hydrocarbon, reaching down an effluent with total hydrocarbon content of less than 5 ppm.
Bilge Water Separators Standard Design Features
• Flow rate homologated: 0.73 m³/h (3.2 USGPM)
• Supplied ready to be installed
• No moving components other than pumps and pneumatic valves.
• Fixed control level, without float
• Very low maintenance, consisting in occasional hosing cleaning of the plates, and membrane’s hot self-cleaning process. No chemicals needed in both operations
• Water presence less than 5% in the separated oil, so it can be burned if required
• Separated oil discharge facilitated by pump
• Power supply 380/440V, 50 or 60 Hz
Bilge Water Separators Accessories
The equipment is supplied with the following accessories:
• Bilge alarm: as latest IMO MEPC. 107(49) resolution
