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 power stations ashore.

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 correct­temperature, 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 configurations­remove sludge, which accumulates at the bowl periphery and is intermittently...
