The Alfa Laval Emmie not only boosts uptime but also minimizes wear and tear on your machinery, resulting in substantial cost savings. Remarkably, it can recoup its investment in less than a year. Featuring a lightweight and compact design, this trolley-mounted centrifugal separator and electrical oil heater can be easily connected to a tank within minutes. Once initiated, the system operates autonomously, requiring no ongoing supervision.
Meet the Alfa Laval Emmie 2, a portable centrifugal separator designed for effortless removal of particles and water from industrial oils. The Emmie 2 plays a crucial role in enhancing the longevity of your oil and minimizing equipment wear. Its versatility and easy connectivity make it an excellent choice for multiple tanks and small-scale installations.
The Alfa Laval Emmie 2 constitutes a comprehensive cleaning system, inclusive of a separator, feed pump, and controls, with the option of adding a heater. This powerhouse not only extends the lifespan of your oil but also increases operational uptime while reducing wear and tear on your equipment. It excels in virtually eliminating all water and effectively capturing over 99% of solid particles in the 2-5 µm range (excluding additives) from various service oils. Typically, under standard operating conditions, it can pay for itself in less than a year.
The Alfa Laval Oil Cleaning Module (OCM) is designed to eliminate contaminants from various types of oil, including water and solid particles. The OCM module plays a pivotal role in extending the lifespan of equipment and significantly prolonging service intervals. It offers both stationary and mobile configurations to cater to multiple tank setups and can be selected with or without a heater. Additionally, the OCM range offers standardized options to simplify your choice.
The Alfa Laval OCM series provides swift and convenient cleaning of mineral, lubricating, and hydraulic oils, effectively preventing equipment breakdowns and minimizing unplanned downtime. Scheduling is a breeze, with the OCM capable of operating while the oil is in use or during equipment downtime. This modular system, featuring integrated and pre-configured components on a skid, boasts easy installation and operates autonomously, requiring no operator supervision.
The Alfa Laval PureBilge and PureBilge Compact are cutting-edge automated centrifugal separation systems meticulously engineered to purify oily water both on ships navigating the open seas and on land. These advanced systems excel in their ability to eliminate oil contamination to an extraordinary degree, surpassing the stringent 15 ppm IMO requirements by achieving a remarkable level of cleanliness, well below 5 ppm. This accomplishment sets an entirely new benchmark for ensuring the safety of discharging water overboard.
The Alfa Laval PureBilge is a high-speed centrifugal oily water separation (OWS) solution that efficiently processes substantial volumes of water. Its exceptional separation capabilities derive from the innovative XLrator spiral inlet, a patented feature that effectively prevents the breakup of oil droplets and the formation of additional emulsions. This technology not only ensures superior performance but also leads to significant cost savings, as the system is purpose-built for continuous, unmanned operation 24/7. Furthermore, it operates without the need for chemicals, adsorption filters, or membranes. For vessels of smaller sizes, the Alfa Laval PureBilge Compact is also available, offering the same impressive capabilities in a more compact package.
Recover valuable oil resources while simultaneously reducing expenses associated with waste management. The Alfa Laval PureDry is an advanced automated system designed to partition waste oil into three distinct phases: pristine oil, water, and highly desiccated solids.
With the Alfa Laval PureDry system in place, you can significantly curtail the costs associated with waste handling and disposal. This system effectively eliminates oily waste by separating water from the mixture and concentrating solids to produce an exceptionally dry sludge. Its remarkable efficiency empowers you to reduce the capacity requirements for holding tanks, thereby optimizing space utilization. Additionally, by segregating FO (Fuel Oil) and LO (Lubricating Oil) waste streams, you can even achieve fuel savings of up to 0.4%.
