Facet bilge water separator is a device compact, adaptable to the small spaces available on board, lightweight and low maintenance.
Its operation is very easy and completely automatic, with all its functions controlled through 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.
This model combines the classic coalescing plates Facet MPak® with the disposal membranes which achieve a high efficiency in the breakdown of chemical and mechanical emulsions.
This combination allows that Facet CPS B MKIII + EBM 14x Separator meets the strict requirements of the aforementioned IMO regulation.
Bilge Water Separators Results
Facet CPS B MKIII + EBM 14x eliminates hydrocarbons in two stages. In the first stage, free hydrocarbon is separated from water through Facet coalescing plates, while in the second stage emulsions are broken by a 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 range homologated: from 0.5 m³/h (2.2 USGPM) to 10 m³/h (44 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 replacement. No chemicals needed in both operations
• Water presence less than 5% in the separated oil, so it can be burned if required
• 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
• Electric heater in the oil dome to facilitate heavy oil discharge (if required)
Bilge Water Separators Approvals
Facet CPS B MKIII + EBM 14x bilge water separators have been tested, approved and certified according to the requirements of IMO MEPC.107(49).
