Flex separation systems, S-separators 805/815

Application S-separatorsS-separators are based on Alcap technology, which means they automatically adjust the oil/water interphase and also supervise the water content in the clean oil outlet. This makes them particularly suitable for separating heavy fuel oils with varying density, although they can be used to clean all of the following: Heavy fuel oils with densities up to 1 010 kg/m3

and viscosities up to 700 cSt/50°C (higher viscosities available upon request)

Lubricating oils Distillates Lighter diesel oils

S-separators 805/815 optimized for lower flows onboard small ships combine ease of use, low operating cost and robust design ensuring high reliability. They are designed for automatic opera-tion in periodically unmanned engine rooms at sea and in automated power stations ashore.

Flex system components for S-separators 805/815. * S-separators 805/815 can also be used to clean lighter fuel oils and lubricating oils.

Scope of supplyThe S and P Flex separation concept provides a wide range of alternatives for S-separators. Depending on the need, an S-separator can be supplied as a separator with ancillaries, as a customer-specified module or as part of a comprehensive package including services and order- specific documentation.

Flex systemAn S-separator with ancillaries in the form of optimized block components provides full say over the use of space. This allows for local modularization or do-it-yourself assembly.

Flex modulesA compact S-separator module can be built to a customer-specified configuration from a wide range of modular skids and machine blocks. Multi-modules are possible, as well as mixed modules including one or more S-separators and/or P-separators for the simultaneous treatment of different types of mineral oils. All Flex modules are factory tested to ensure faster start-up and commissioning.

Small footprint, high flexibility The small separator and the modular nature of the surrounding components allow easy installation and flexible positioning in the engine room.

Optimum performance with Alcap technology A water transducer in the clean oil outlet automatically adjusts the oil/water interphase to maximize separation performance.

High separation efficiency An optimized design ensures the best possible separation efficiency from the bowl and disc stack.

Simple installation No tank is needed to supply operating water and no pipe is needed to discharge it, which further simplifies installation.

Separate feed pump A separate feed pump reduces pipe- work to and from the preheater.

Low oil loss The separator’s highly efficient displacement ensures that virtually no oil is lost.

Efficient discharge Separated sludge and water are effi- ciently removed from the system.

Easy operation and service The new PLC based EPC 60

controller is designed for “one- button” starts and stops, as well as intuitive menu navigation. Information about parameters and alarms can be easily accessed, which simplifies both operation and troubleshooting. The EPC 60 also has a modular construction that enables faster troubleshooting and I/O board replacement.

Remote monitoring Using either Ethernet or Bus communication, Flex systems and modules based on S-separators 805/815 can be supervised remotely from the control room. A variety of alarm functions is available as standard and extra I/O boards can be added to the EPC 60 controller in order to enhance its monitoring capabilities.

operating principle

A Flex separation system based on S-separators 805/815 is operated automatically by the EPC 60 controller, except at startup. Untreated oil, heated to the correct temperature, is fed continuously to the separator, which is driven by an electric motor via a friction clutch and belt.

The separator bowl is fixed at the top of a spindle, which is supported by bearings and springs. During operation separated sludge and water accumulate at the bowl periphery and are intermittently discharged by the high- precision discharge system.

Operation of the separator is based on the Alcap principle, which means the separator automatically adjusts to the density of the oil. Thus, no gravity disc is needed. A water transducer in the clean oil outlet measures capacitive resis-tance and signals changes to the EPC 60 controller.

When the water content has increased or the timer setting has expired, the system automatically discharges the accumulated water and sludge through the bowl discharge ports during a controlled sludge discharge.

During normal operation, vital process parameters are monitored. These parameters, as well as alarms, are indicated by easy-to-understand text messages on the LCD display of the EPC 60 controller.

The EPC 60 controller provides many alarm functions, in-cluding alarms for low oil pressure, high sludge tank level (if the optional sludge removal kit is included) and power failure. Additional functions are available as well.

CentriShoot The CentriShoot discharge system greatly reduces sludge volumes. Its fixed discharge side flexes gently to expose the discharge ports, thereby eliminating metal- to-metal wear.

CentriLock The CentriLock bowl-locking system uses a lightweight, non-threaded snap ring. This prevents wear by allowing easy removal without a sledgehammer.

Long service intervals Wear-preventing features like CentriShoot and CentriLock reduce the consumption of spare parts and allow planned maintenance to be performed less often. This reduces operating costs.

Operating principle

An S and P Flex separation system based on an S-separator 821– 886 is operated automatically by the EPC 60 controller. Untreated oil, heated to the correct tempera-ture, is fed continuously to the separator, which is driven by an electric motor via a friction clutch and belt.

The separator bowl is fixed at the top of a spindle, which is supported by bearings and special composite springs. During operation, separated sludge and water accumulate at the bowl periphery and are intermittently discharged by the high-precision CentriShoot discharge system.

The separator’s operation is based on the Alcap principle, which means the separator automatically adjusts to the nature of the oil. No gravity disc is needed. A water trans-ducer in the clean oil outlet measures capacitative resist-ance and signals changes to the EPC 60 controller.

Depending on the water content, the EPC 60 either opens the drain valve or expels the water through the bowl dis-charge ports during sludge discharge. A patented paring tube adapts itself to remove the water from the bowl while a paring disc pumps away the clean oil.

During normal operation, vital process parameters are mon-itored. These parameters, as well as alarms, are indicated by easy-to-understand text messages on the LCD display of the EPC 60 controller.

Separation Performance Standard (SPS)

The flow rates on the back of this leaflet show the maximum recommended capacities for S-separators 821–886. Alternatively, Alfa Laval can supply S- separators 821–886 in accordance with the marine Separation Performance Standard, SPS (CWA 15375).

The aim of the SPS is to establish a separator’s ability to remove hard, abrasive particles from heavy fuel oils. Verified by classification societies, it provides a reliable method of evaluating and comparing the separation performance of different fuel oil separators.

Actual catalytic fines and the spherical particles used to verify

separation performance.

The EPC 60 controller provides many alarm functions, including alarms for low oil pressure, high sludge tank level (if the optional sludge removal kit is included) and power failure. Additional functions are available for a vibration alarm when the optional vibration sensor is fitted.

CentriShoot CentriLock

STEP ONE:The CentriShoot discharge slide is fixed at the centre. During separation, the slide covers the discharge ports.

An Allen key is the only tool needed to work with CentriLock. No sledgehammer is necessary.

STEP TWO:During sludge discharge, the edge of the slide flexes downward, exposing the discharge ports.

The CentriLock snap ring lifts out and snaps in easily – without any threads to wear.

STEP THREE:After discharge, the slide moves gently back into position to close the ports. This is done hydraulically, without any springs.

Instead of a sliding bowl bottom, the CentriShoot discharge system features a fixed discharge slide that flexes at its edge. This increases discharge accuracy and does away with metal-to-metal wear.

Conventional lock rings are threaded and must be removed with a sledgehammer. Over time, the metal-to-metal wear between bowl and lock ring can lead to expensive bowl repair or replacement.

Instead of a conventional lock ring, the CentriLock bowl-locking system features a non-threaded snap ring. This lightweight ring snaps quickly into place and is easily removed with only an Allen key.

operating principle

A Flex separation system based on an S-separator 921– 987 is operated automatically by the EPC 60 controller. Untreated oil, heated to the correct temperature, is fed continuously to the separator, which is driven by an electric motor via a friction clutch and belt.

The separator bowl is fixed at the top of a spindle, which is supported by bearings and special composite springs. During operation, separated sludge and water accumulate at the bowl periphery and are intermittently discharged by the high-precision CentriShoot discharge system.

The separator’s operation is based on the Alcap principle, which means the separator automatically adjusts to the nature of the oil. No gravity disc is needed. A water trans-ducer in the clean oil outlet measures capacitative resist-ance and signals changes to the EPC 60 controller.
