Flex separation systems, P-separators 605/615 Cleaning systems for lubricating and lighter fuel oils* Separator Control cabinet including EPC 60 and optional starter * P-separators 605/615 can also be used to clean heavier oils with well-defined densities. S and P Flex separation systems Alfa Laval’s S and P Flex separation systems combine the high efficiency, low sludge output and low operating cost of Alfa Laval centrifugal separators with a flexible scope of supply­ Extensive possibilities for the separation system . layout­and assembly make it possible to suit any engine room and any oil separation application. In addition, S and P Flex separation systems feature the EPC 60 controller, which enables the intuitive navigation of menus, parameters and alarms. The EPC 60 controller also has a modular construction for easy I/O board addition and replacement. The S and P Flex separation concept includes the complete­ S- and P-separator range. These can be combined­in mixed ship sets, even within a single customer-­specified module. Change-over valve Water block Flex system components for P-separators 605/615. Application P-separators P-separators are based on purifier technology, which means that the oil/water interphase is manually adjusted by means of a gravity disc. Because the separators do not automatically adjust to varying oil density, they are most suitable for economical­cleaning of the following: • Lubrication oils • Distillates • Lighter diesel oils If the oil is well defined and does not vary in density, P-separators can also be manually adjusted to clean heavy fuel oils with densities up to 991 kg/m3 and viscosities up to 700 cSt/50ºC. P-separators are designed for automatic operation at sea and in automated pow

Scope of supply The S and P Flex separation concept provides a wide range of alternatives for P-separators. Depending on the need, a P-separator can be supplied­as a separator­ and ancillaries, as a customer-specified module, or as part of a comprehensive package­including services­and order-­ specific documentation­. Module examples Single Flex module with separator (excluding heater and pump) Single Flex module with separator, heater and pump Flex system A P-separator with ancillaries in the form of optimized block components provides full say over the use of space. This allows for local modularization...

Operating principle A Flex separation system based on a P-separator 605/615 is operated automatically by the EPC 60 controller, apart from the starting of the separator. Untreated oil, heated to the correct temperature, is fed continuously to the separator, which is driven by an electric motor via a friction clutch and belt. The separator bowl is fixed at the top of a spindle, which is supported by bearings and special composite springs. This bowl can be arranged as a purifier or as a clarifier. Both configurations remove sludge, which accumulates at the bowl periphery and is intermittently discharged. In...
