The clever solutionDirty bilgewaterfeedDirty bilgewaterreturnClean water dischargeoverboardThe new bilgewater treatment system withthe Westfalia Separator ® minimaXx ® separator typeWTC was specially designed for the rough conditionsoffshore.The product is fed by the feed pump via thepreheater into the centre of the separator bowl.Within the rotating bowl, the product is separatedinto a heavy and light phase.Feed pumpOil monitorThe heavy water phase is separated from thefinest oil droplets and dirt particles and thenconveyed under pressure by the centripetal pump to thedischarge. If the oil concentration on the clean wateroutlet of the centrifuge exceeds 15 ppm the water isled through an adsorption filter. The lighter oil phasePre-filterflows to the centre of the bowl and is dischargedby gravity.Warm waterWarm waterpreheaterThe separated sludge is collected in the solids holdingspace and must be removed by hand.An intelligent control and monitoring system assuresproblem-free, round-the-clock unmanned operation. Italso ensures that only water with an oil content lowerthan 15 ppm is re leased into the environment.AdsorptionfilterManual cleaningseparatorWaste oilcollection tank
