Applications
Purification of diesel and lube oil in marine applications

• Yachts
• Tugs
• Pilot boats
• Tankers
• Dry-cargo vessels
• And many more customer-specific applications

Short description
Manual cleaning separator with solid-wall bowl and single centripetal pump are today used mostly for the treatment of diesel oil and lube oil on smaller ships. They are suitable for clarifying or purifying oils with a low solids content up to 0.01 percent volume.

Diesel oil, as well as lube oil, has to be continuously treated on many ships. The GEA solid-bowl wall separators, developed for this comparatively small product flow; are characterized not only by their efficiency, but also by the very small space they require, an advantage of particular importance, especially given the cramped conditions on board ship.
A pump system takes the lube oil to the purifier which separates the oil at high temperatures of up to 95 °C. The centrifugal separator is designed as a mobile system which is simple and convenient to use wherever hydraulic devices on ships have to be serviced
