Alfa Laval has launched a compact model of its PureBilge oily water separator. Called PureBilge Compact it has been designed with a deal with decreasing its footprint, offering straightforward set up and decreasing the working price of the vessel.
The extremely compact and modular answer permits smaller vessels to learn from Alfa Laval’s proven oily water separation technology with out area and set up constraints.
Its lowered footprint and hassle-free set up additionally makes it a perfect retrofit answer for greater vessels fighting filters, says Alfa Laval.
“We are delighted to bring PureBilge Compact to the market. This compact, easy-to-install, and cost-effective solution will help both small and large vessels achieve compliance for oily water separation,” says Ayla Korlof, world enterprise supervisor, HSS Pure & Engine Power, Alfa Laval. “The future already looks bright for PureBilge Compact as we have received interest from shipyards specializing in smaller vessels who see our solution as the perfect fit for their designs.”
“We’re often approached by customers who are struggling to treat their bilge water effectively with their current filters,” says Rebecka Fogelquist Anthony, service growth supervisor, Alfa Laval. “PureBilge is not always an appropriate retrofit choice for them, regardless of vessel size, as they do not require the biggest flow capacity. With PureBilge Compact onboard, our customers can now have access to a retrofit alternative suited to their needs.”
PureBilge Compact is designed for twenty-four/7 unmanned operation, which reduces the operation price, identical to PureBilge. The lack of requirement for chemical compounds, adsorption filters or membranes eliminates the filter alternative price and lowers upkeep prices.
Its steady, single-stage operation requires much less holding tank quantity and gives extra payload capability. Its capability move of 600 liters per hour, as in comparison with 2,500 to five,000 liters per hour for PureBilge, makes it considerably smaller and straightforward to put in.
With its built-in oil content material monitor, the PureBilge Compact oily water separator cleans bilge water successfully by eradicating oil air pollution under the 15 ppm IMO necessities and, based on Alfa Laval, has the potential to cut back oil content material even additional, reaching under 5 ppm.
The absolutely automated centrifugal separation system ensures steady excessive efficiency, no matter variations in feed, oil shocks and tough climate circumstances.
“Smaller vessels depend no less on compliance and performance than their larger counterparts,” says Korlof. “By having PureBilge technology in different sizes, we can extend the advantages of IMO- compliant bilge water system to smaller vessel segments comprising mainly of fishing vessels, passenger ships, general cargo and superyachts.”
PureBilge Compact comes with superior EPC 70 automated management and monitoring system, which seamlessly integrates with present Alfa Laval techniques, offering a single user-friendly interface. The system is already compliant with the anticipated 2024 cybersecurity regulation.
