Principle of Operation:
Oily bilge water is drawn into the separator by the
automatic self-priming pump. The pump is located on the
outlet of the separator to prevent the formation of a
mechanical emulsion. As the oily bilge water enters the
separator, it flows up ward through the matrix plate pack,
toward the top of the separator. Some oil separates
immediately due to the reduced flow velocity and the
difference in specific gravity between oil and water. Oil
droplets impinge on the surface of the matrix plate pack
and begin the coalescing process. The oil droplets coalesce
until they become large enough to detach from the
Smaller oil droplets that escape the matrix plate pack are
removed by the polishing pack. After the separated oil
accumulates to a predetermined level, the oil sensorinitiates the oil discharge and cleaning cycle by stopping
the pump, closing the water discharge valve and opening
the clean water inlet valve. This allows clean sea or fresh
water to cleanse the matrix plate pack and flow upward in
the reverse direction washing the polishing pack
displacing the accumulated oil.
