Separator performance above IMO standard
GEA bilge Separator with integrated direct drive is designed for purifying oily water on board marine vessels and producing minimum residual oil contents. GEA bilge Separator guarantees residual oil content of less than 15 ppm and for more demanding requirements even less than 5 ppm.
Incorporating an integrated direct drive, the GEA bilge Separator is a revolutionary solution that offers more performance per square meter of footprint, an extremely simple service concept and smart connectivity.
GEA bilge Separator is designed for purifying oily water and producing residual oil contents of 15 ppm in all performance classes. Without an additional adsorption filter, without chemicals. This is achieved by means of modifications in the product feed of the bowl and the disk stack, resulting in a gentle product feed and a higher clarifying area.
In order to be in a position to meet potentially tighter requirements, many shipping companies are already demanding a guarantee of less than 5 ppm residual oil content in the processed bilgewater. GEA is also able to meet these requirements by adding an adsorption filter.
GEA bilge Separators feature a modular design. The main components: Feed pump, automatic filter, preheater, the self-discharging separator, oil monitor and the control panel are installed on two modules (feed pump / preheater unit, separator unit). These modules are assembled to form a complete unit and can also be supplied as individual modules upon request. This means that the system can be customized to meet the local circumstances in an optimum manner even in restricted spaces. An adaptive speed regulating facility of the feed pump adapts the system to the considerably fluctuating feed conditions of the product.
Exactly a quarter of a century ago, in 1996, a real breakthrough was made in centrifugal bilgewater treatment.
In addition to the high safety standard of GEA bilge Separators, GEA has developed the SafetyMaster. It prevents the unintentional overboard pumping of bilgewater containing excessive levels of oil by means of permanently monitoring the complete separating process including the overboard valve. An integrated data recorder saves all bilgewater processing information from the previous eighteen months. All components of the SafetyMaster system are mounted in a lockable cabinet which is protected against manipulation and installed on the separator unit.
The GEA marine Separator
GEA bilgEGR Solution is a combined Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and oily bilge water system designed to treat water on board ships. After treatment, the purified water can be discharged into the sea.
Marine separators specialize in the purification of fuel and lube oil as well as bilge and EGR water treatment on board ships.
Designed to regulate different separator processes automatically, the GEA marine Upgrade Kit comprises additional software and a sophisticated easy-to-install hardware kit. Adding considerably to the functionality of our marine separators, it makes them more efficient and environmentally friendly.
GEA biofuel Separators are tailored to the specific characteristics of biofuels, efficiently separating water and contaminants to meet the stringent requirements of the industry.
