PureBilge is a fully automated centrifugal bilge water treatment system that cleans oily wastewater onboard vessels at sea. By effectively removing marine oil pollution, it makes bilge water safe for discharge overboard.
Reliable, efficient, continuous
Compact, modular, easy-to-install system saves time, space and money
Continuous, single-stage operation requires less holding tank volume and provides more payload capacity
Reduced operating costs thanks to low maintenance, automated control, minimal waste disposal, no chemical consumption and no disposable filter element
Unaffected by sea heave, oil shocks or high solids loading
Password-locked switch ensures only those responsible for environmental compliance may authorize discharge
Alfa Laval PureBilge is a high-speed centrifugal oily water separation (OWS) system that cleans large volumes. Its superior separation performance stems from the patented XLrator spiral inlet, which prevents oil droplets splitting and additional emulsions forming. It reduces operating costs by being designed for 24/7 unmanned operation. It doesn't require chemicals, adsorption filters or membranes.
How it works
PureBilge is a fully automatic, all-in-one system with a pumping stage, preheating stage and a centrifugal separation stage. It is complete with full process control and monitoring. PureBilge comprises a BWPX 307 high-speed separator, a control cabinet housing an EPC 60 bilge process controller, a valve and pipe rack and a feed pump module.
A feed pump with variable-frequency drive control directs oily water into the PureBilge system from the oily water holding tank.
