PA PURIFIER SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2 THE PROCESS
2 The Process
The terms used in this process description are
explained in section "2.2 Definition of Terms" on
page 12.
2.1 Purifying
A water seal is added to the separator bowl
through the water inlet.
The separator is equipped with a gravity disc,
chosen according to factors such as oil
temperature, density, and feed rate. This choice
• decides the position ofthe interface between oil

and water seal.
The separator does not use a paring disc to pump
out the separated water. Instead, the water
leaves the bowl via the gravity disc, and leaves
the separator through the water/sludge outlet.
Process Cycle
1 A specific amount of water is added to the
separator bowl to form a water seal.
2 The feeding of unprocessed oil to the centre
of the separator bowl starts.
3 During the separation process sludge and
• water accumulate at the periphery of the

separator bowl. Cleaned oil is fed from the
separator by the integrated paring disc.
Excessive water leaves the bowl through the
water/sludge outlet to the sludge tank.
4 After the preset time between discharge
sequences, the oil feeding stops.
5 Displacement water is added to the bowl. The
displacement water reduces the oil loss at the
following sludge discharge.
6 A sludge discharge is initiated while the
displacement water is still flowing.
The next process cycle starts with adding of
water for a new water seal.
1810895-02 11
2 THE PROCESS PA PURIFIER SYSTEM SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1.8 Intervals Between

Sludge Discharges
(Valid for P 625/635
only)
1.8.1 Background
Experience has shown that II intervals between
sludge discharges are too long, a compact and hard
•
sludge cake can accumUlate. On discharge, this cake
may break up and be discharged unevenly causing
Imbalance In the bowl. II Imbalance Is excessive,
there Is risk lor serious mechanical damage and
Injury to personnel.
Recommendations are given regarding initial

intervals between sludge discharges for different
applications. The setting may subsequently have
to be changed after actual inspection of the bowl.
1.8.2 Recommended intervals

between sludge discharges
Many factors influence accumulation and
hardening of sludge between the discharges, so
the appropriate interval depends on local
•
conditions. However, in order to have a
reasonable starting point the following table
shows recommended initial discharge intervals
and operating times to first inspection.
1810896-02 17
1.8.3 Fuel oil cleaning

Type of fuel Recommendations
Inijial intervals between discharges Time to first bowl inspection
Cl
- Distillate (1.5 -6 cStl40
Marine Diesel Oil (max. 14cSV40 Cl
4 hours
2 hours
tweek
1 week
~Heavy Fuel Oil (Max in1elVal ) 1 hour ( 2 hours ) 2days
Conditions may change completely when

bunkers are changed. Therefore, great care must
be given to the discharge interval setting for
each new bunker. In case the actually used
discharge interval exceeds the recommended
initial value, the interval setting has to be
reduced, according to the table above, when a
new, unfamiliar bunker is separated. Use of
unstable fuel or mixing of incompatible fuel oils
may give precipitation of sludge and overloading
of the separator. •
1.8.4 Lubricating oil cleaning
Continuous operation:
In a new lubricating oil system the oil is initially
clean but as it gets dirtier the interval between
discharges will have to be shortened until a
"steady state" is reached. Following information
refers to systems in "steady state".
•
Type of fuel Recommended intervals for Crosshead and Trunk
Inijial intervals between Time to first bowl inspection
Main lUbricating oil system 1 - 2 hours 1 week
If separator has been out of operation:

If the separator has been out of service for 24
hours or longer, while the engine has been
running, the interval between discharges has to
be shortened. In this case the recommendation
is:
• Discharge interval 5 minutes until the whole oil
volume has passed twice through the
separator.
• After that resume normal discharge interval.
18 1810896-02
Intermittent operation:
For installations where one separator serves one
engine which is temporarily stopped the
following reco=endations apply: If the engine
is to be stopped for 24 hours or less:
• Keep the separator in operation for 8 hours
after the engine is stopped.
• Start the separator 8 hours before the engine
is started again.
Doing so most of the suspended particles and
water condensate will be removed from the
system and not settle in the sump tank. For
installations where one separator serves more
than one engine the following reco=endations
• apply:
•
•
Continuous use of the separator whenever
possible.
Frequent switches between the engine
systems to be cleaned. In a typical case with
one separator serving 2-4 auxiliary engines
switching after maximum 24 hours of cleaning.

1.8.5 Bowl inspection

To check ifthe initially selected interval is
appropriate, the bowl should be inspected after a
short test period shown in the previous tables.
If sludge space is clean:
Interval may be prolonged with steps of 15
minutes, but it must not exceed three times the
recommended initial interval.
"Sludge space is clean" means that no noticeable
amount of hard sludge remains in the sludge
space.
If sludge space is dirty:
Interval has to be shortened.
When the bowl is opened for routine cleaning,
the sludge space should always be inspected and
evaluated. If necessary, the interval between
discharges should then be changed accordingly.

Process, and Factory Set parameters.
The parameters are initially set at installation.
The process parameters can also be set as
required during operation.
• Parameters not in use are not displayed.
The parameter list in this booklet is valid for
PA and PU systems.
General principle

The process parameters can be adjusted easily
and as often as required, even during operation,
to meet changes in the operating conditions, e.g.
time between sludge discharges, oil temperature,
alarm points.

Regularly check the condition of the bowl. If there is
no noticeable amount of hard sludge in the sludge
space, the discharge interval may be increased by 30
minutes at a time. The total discharge interval must
not exceed three times the factory set value in order

1.1 Demand Specification Water
Alia Laval ret 574487 rev. 1
Poor quality of the operating water may with time cause erosion, corrosion and / or
operating problems. The water shall be treated to meet certain demands.
1 Turbidity-free water, solids content <0,001% by volume.

Max. particle size 50 ~m.
Deposits shall not be allowed to form in certain areas in the system.
2 Total hardness less than 180 mg CaC03 per litre, which corresponds to 10 °dH or 12,5 °E. Hard

water may with time form deposits in the operating mechanism. The precipitation rate is
accelerated with increased operating temperature and low discharge frequency. These effects
become more severe the harder the water is.
Chloride content max. 100 ppm NaCI (equivalent to 60 mg CI/I). Chloride ions contribute to
corrosion on surfaces in contact with the operating water. Corrosion is a process that is
accelerated by increased separating temperature, low pH, and high chloride ion concentration.
4 6,5 < pH < 9

Bicarbonate content (HC03) min. 70mg HC0 3 per litre, which corresponds to 3,2 °dKH.

Alfa Laval accepts no liability for consequences
arising from unsatisfactorily purified operating
water supplied by the customer.
• 1.2 Demand Specifications Air

Specific requirements regarding the quality
of air (tlOT£]

[NOTE]
It is possible to supervise the Purifier System from
a remote position. It is, however, Dll1 possible to
operate the Purifier System from a remote position.
Connection to steering system via

PROFIBUS or MODBUS fieldbus systems.
PROFIBUS or MODBUS communication
protocol can be used to connect an EPC 50
•
Control Unit to a central steering system. The
EPC 50 Control Unit uses a PROFIBUS DP or
MODBUS RTU. Every node, or EPC 50 Control
Unit, on the bus has a unique address, and can
use 200 bytes for data exchange. An interface
board is needed to connect an EPC 50 Control
Unit to the respective fieldbus system. This is
mounted on the I/O card.
Remote fieldbus connection for EPC 50 Control
Unit is for use in those cases where the user
wants access to data and operation information
from the control cabinet, and supervision and!
or remote control from his own steering
system.

reduces electrical noise transfer.
Examples of recommended routing of various
cable types.
Power Signal
• Power cables and signal cables routed on a Cables Cable
cable rack should be separated.
t@@\ (@@\
• Sattbus cables should be routed away from
power cables. ~ ~
If the space is limited. cables can be routed in
• tubes.
4.3 Oil, Water, Steam, and Condensate Piping

For piping to and from Alfa Laval equipment,
see the specifications below.
Specifications
• The correct pipe size must be used in the oil
system.
• The number of bends in the oil pipes must
be minimized.
• •
•
The suction height must be as low as
possible.
The oil feed pump must be a displacement
type pump.
• The pump must be positioned close to the
oil tank.
• The heater must be installed close to the
purifier unit to maintain correct feed oil
temperature.
• The recirculation line should be connected
either directly to the settling tank (HFO) or to
the oil outlet line from the separator (LO).
• The oil outlet line from the separator must be
connected to the system tank for lube oil, or
the service tank for fuel oil.
577215-02 35
4.4 Ambient Temperature Limitation

Specification
Leading classification societies state in their
regulations for engine room equipment that the
maximum ambient temperature permissible is
+55 ° C. To meet this regulation, it is essential
that electrical and electronic components have
good ventilation, ant temperature control.
4.5 Sludge Tank

• Sludge tank volume per Purifier System Ventilation pipe
should cover approximately up to 2 days
•
storage at a discharge interval of 2 hours (for
discharge volumes see technical data).
A manhole should be installed for inspection
and cleaning.

is not possible, any bends must be gradual. @
• The ventilation pipe must not extend below the

tank top.
• A sludge tank with partition walls must have
ventilation pipes in all compartments, or
cutouts in the upper edge, to allow vapours to
travel through the tank.
36 577215-02
The number of ventilation pipes, and their

minimum dimension, depend on the size and
number of separators connected to the same
tank. See table below.

4.6 Sludge Piping
Specification
• The sludge pipe from the separator to the
sludge tank should be vertical.
If a vertical pipe is not possible, the deviation (A)
from the vertical line must not exceed 30°.
•
• The sludge pipe must not extend below the
tank top.
[MOTE]
An extended sludge pipe will obstruct ventilation and
create back pressure that could cause seperator
problems.
,/
-'
•
38 577215-02
If more than one separator is connected to the

same sludge tank, a butterfly valve should be
installed in each sludge pipe.
[MO't£J
If a butterfly valve is not used, the bowl and the
operating system may be affected.
• If a butterfly valve is used, it should be

equipped with an interlocking switch
(connected to the separator starter) to prevent
the separator from being started when the
valve is not fully open.

5 COMMISSIONING AND INITIAL START PA 615 PURIFIER SYSTEM INSTALLATION SYSTEM REFERENCE
5 Commissioning and Initial Start·

5.1 Completion Check List
It is essential before starting up the separation
system that all units are in good operating
condition and that all pipelines and control
equipment are properly connected to assure
correct operation.
Use this check list as a guide for completing the
system installation:
Breakdown hazard
Check that the power frequency Is In agreement with
the machine plate. If incorrect, resulting overspeed
may cause breakdown.
•
1 Check that transport seals are removed from
all pipes.
2 Use flushing filters to prevent pipe work debris
from being pumped into the separation
system.
("OorE]
The flushing filters must be removed after Initial
flushing.
4
Check that all separators are in proper
working condition. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Make sure that separators are lubricated in
•
accordance with instructions.
( ..oorE]
Make sure that the spindle bearings are prelubrlcated
Drop some frame oil onto the bearings
5 Separators are delivered without oil in the oil

sump. For information on oil filling and oil type,
see the Separator Manual booklet.
40 577215-02
PA 615 PURIFIER SYSTEM INSTALLATION SYSTEM REFERENCE 5 COMMISSIONING AND INITIAL START
[MO'fEJ
Too much, or too little oil may result in damage the
separator bearings.
Neglecting an oil changa may result in damage to
separator bearings.
6 Power on.
7 Check that the separator rotation direction
corresponds with the arrow on the frame by
doing a quick start/stop (1-2 seconds.) and
looking at the motor fan rotation.
• 8
If power cables have been installed incorrectly, the
parts can unscrew.
Check the pump function and direction .
577215-02 41
5.2 Initial Start-up

Use this check list for initial system start up:
1 Check that there is oil in the feed oil tank.
2 Check water and air supply. See "System
Data" on page 6.
3 Check power supplies to the control unit and

that the voltage is in accordance with data in
"System Data" on page 6..
4 Check all parameter settings in the control
unit. See Installation Parameters in the
Parameter List booklet.
(NOTE]
The Control Unit Is supplied with standard
conflguretion parameters. You may have to make
some changes to suit your Installation.
•
5 Start the separation system as described in
the Operating Instructions booklet.
6 Start up step by step, checking that the
machine and units function properly.
7 Establish system pressures.
The delivery height pressure is the pressure in
the oil pipe work down stream from the
separation system, due to the pipe bends and
the height (head) to the cleaned oil tank. If the
cleaned oil tank is below the separation
system the delivery height pressure may be
very low. The oil paring disc pressure will have
to be greater than the delivery height pressure
for any oil to flow.
Proceed as follows:
•
• Ensure the valves in the oil system are in the
correct positions.
• The oil should be at separation temperature.

2.2 Design and function
2.2.1 Application
The P 615 is a high-speed centrifugal separator

intended for marine and land applications. It is
specifically designed for cleaning of mineral oils
from water and solid particles (sludge). The
cleaned oil is discharged continuously, while the
sludge is discharged at intervals.
The separator handles the following types of
lubricating oils and low viscosity fuel oils:
•
• Distillate, viscosity 1,5 - 5,5 cSt/40 QC
• Marine diesel oil, viscosity 13 cSt/40 QC
• Intermediate fuel oil and heavy fuel oil
(viscosity 30-380 eSt/50 QC)
• Lubricating oil of R & 0 type, detergent or

steam turbine.
The separator can be operated either as a

purifier or as a clarifier. When operated as a
purifier the separator discharges the separated The P 615 separator.
water continuously.
When the oil contains only small amounts of
water the separator is operated as a clarifier,
discharging the water together with the solid
particles.
The separator has to be installed together with
devices for control of its operation.
•
Use the separator only for the purpose and
parameters (type of liqUid, rotational speed,
temperature, density etc.) specified in chapter
5 Technical Reference, page 117 and in the Purchase
Order documents.
Consult your Alia Laval representative before any

changes outside these parameters are made.

The P 615 separator comprises a frame
consisting of the frame lower part, the

intermediate part and the frame top part with a
frame hood.
The separator bowl (C) is driven by an electric
motor (A) via a flat-belt power transmission (D)
and bowl spindle (B). The motor drive is
equipped with a friction coupling to prevent
overload. --A

The processing parts ofthe separator are shown
in the illustration on next page.
There are no contacting surfaces between
process rotating parts (the bowl) and stationary
parts (inlet, outlet, feed devices), and the
interfacing surfaces are not sealed. As the
separation process is carefully balanced
regarding pressures and fluid levels, any
leakages will not occur as long as the correct
running conditions are maintained.
19
2.2.4 Separating function
Liquid flow
206
Separation takes place in the separator bowl to I
which unseparated oil is fed through the inlet
pipe (201). The oil is led by the distributor (T)
towards the periphery of the bowl.
When the unseparated oil reaches the slots of
the distributor, it will rise through the channels
formed by the disc stack (G) where it is evenly
distributed into the disc stack.
The oil is continuously separated from water and
sludge as it will flow towards the center of the
•
bowl. When the cleaned oil leaves the disc stack
it rises upwards and enters the paring chamber.
S
From there it is pumped by the paring disc (F)
and leaves the bowl through the outlet (220). L
Separated sludge and water move towards the

bowl periphery. In purification separated water R
rises along the outside of the disc stack, passes
from the top disc channels over the edge of the
gravity disc (K) and leaves the bowl into the
common sludge and water outlet (221) of the
separator.
Heavier impurities are collected in the sludge B
space (H) outside the disc stack and are
discharged at intervals through the sludge ports
(L).

Water seal in purification

To prevent the oil from passing the outer edge of
the top disc (I) and escaping through the water
outlet (221), a water seal must be provided in the
bowl. This is done by filling the bowl with water
through the water inlet (206), before
unseparated oil is supplied. When oil feed is
turned on the oil will force the water towards the
bowl periphery and an interface (X) is formed
between the water and the oil. The position of
the interface is determined by the size of gravity
disc (K).
• Displacement of oil
To avoid oil losses at sludge discharge,
displacement water is fed to the bowl.
Prior to a discharge the oil feed is stopped and

oil feed is then turned on again.
Gravity disc
In the purification mode, the position of the
interface (X) can be adjusted by replacing the
gravity disc (K) for one of a larger or smaller size.
A gravity disc of a larger size will move the
interface towards the bowl periphery, whereas a
disc of a smaller size will place it closer to the
bowl centre.
The correct gravity disc is selected from a
nomogram, see 5.8.2 Gravity disc nomogram,
page 144.
The sizes of the gravity discs are normally
stamped on the discs.
21
Clarifier disc
In the clarification mode, the gravity disc is
replaced by a clarifier disc which seals off the
water outlet. In this case no water seal is
required and consequently there is no oil/water
interface in the bowl. The clarifier disc is an
optional disc with a hole diameter of 40 mm.
This disc is not shown in the nomograms.
2.2.5 Sludge discharge function
Sludge is discharged through a number of ports

CL) in the bowl wall. Between discharges these
•
ports are covered by the sliding bowl bottom CM),

which forms an internal bottom in the
separating space of the bowl. The sliding bowl L
bottom is pressed upwards against a sealing ring M

limited to a certain percentage ofthe bowl
volume. This action is achieved by the closing
water filling space above the upper distributor
ring and pushing the sliding bowl bottom
upwards. Simultaneously, the water in the
chamber below the operating slide is drained off
through the nozzles in the bowl body.
22
Bowl opening
The key event to start a sludge discharge is the
downward movement of the operating slide. This
is accomplished by supply of opening water (372)
to the discharge mechanism. Water is drained off
through nozzles (Y) in the bowl body. The sliding
bowl bottom is rapidly pressed downwards by
the force from the liquid in the bowl, opening the
sludge ports.

2.2.6 Power transmission
Bowl spindle
In addition to its primary role in the power
transmission system, the bowl spindle also
serves as:
• pump for the closing water -1-----,:;-- B
• supply pipe for the closing water
• lubricator for spindle ball bearings.
Closing water is pumped through the hollow
spindle (B) to the discharge mechanism in the
bowl. For this purpose a pump sleeve (b4) is
fitted in the lower end.
The two spindle bearings are lubricated with oil
mist. An oil pump (b3) creates the oil mist, which
is sucked through the upper ball bearing by a fan
(bl). Oil is supplied via an oil filling device,

Belt drive
•
The bowl spindle is driven by a flat belt.
Adaptation to 50 or 60 Hz power supply is made
by selecting the motor belt pulley with the
appropriate diameter. A longer belt is needed for
the pulley for 50 Hz.

Correct tension is set by means of a spring-
loaded belt tightener.

Friction coupling
The friction coupling on the motor pulley ensures
gentle start-up and prevents overload of the
electric motor. Centrifugal force creates a torque
that acts on the pulley through the friction
elements.

Periodic, preventive maintenance reduces the
risk of unexpected stoppages and breakdowns.
Maintenance logs are shown on the following
pages in order to facilitate periodic
maintenance.
•
separator parts that are worn beyond their safe
limits or incorrectly assembled may cause severe
damage or fatal injury.
3.1.2 Maintenance intervals

The following directions for periodic
maintenance give a brief description of which
parts to clean, check and renew at different
maintenance intervals.
The service logs for each maintenance interval
later in this chapter give detailed enumeration
of the checks that must be done.
Daily checks consist of simple check points to

Intermediate Service
3.3.1 Corrosion
Evidence of corrosion attacks should be looked

for and rectified each time the separator is
dismantled. Main bowl parts such as the bowl
body and hood must be inspected with particular
care for corrosion damage.
Inspect regularly for corrosion damage. Inspect
frequently If the process liquid is corrosive.
Main bowl parts to check for corrosion
•
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if
you suspect that the largest depth of a corrosion
damage exceeds 1,0 mm or if cracks have been
found. Do not continue to use the separator until
it has been inspected and given clearance for
operation by Alfa Lava!'
Cracks or damage forming a line should be
considered as being particularly hazardous.
Non-stainless steel and cast iron parts

Corrosion (rusting) can occur on unprotected
surfaces of non-stainless steel and cast iron.
•
Frame parts can corrode when exposed to an
aggressive environment.
36
3 Service Instructions 3.3 Check points at Intermediate Service
Stainless steel
Stainless steel parts corrode when in contact

with either chlorides or acidic solutions. Acidic
solutions cause a general corrosion. The chloride
corrosion is characterised by local damage such
as pitting, grooves or cracks. The risk of chloride
corrosion is higher if the surface is
• exposed to a stationary solution, Example of chloride corrosion in
stainless steel.
• in a crevice,
• covered by deposits,
• exposed to a solution that has a low pH value.
• A corrosion damage caused by chlorides on

stainless steel begins as small dark spots that
can be difficult to detect.
• Inspect closely for all types of damage by
corrosion and record these observations
carefully.
• Polish dark-coloured spots and other Polish corrosion marks to prevent
further damage.
corrosion marks with a fine grain emery cloth.
This may prevent further damage.
• Disintegration hazard
Pits and spots forming a line may indicate cracks
beneath the surface.
All forms of cracks are a potential danger and are

totally unacceptable.
Replace the part if corrosion can be suspected of

affecting its strength or function.
Other metal parts

Separator parts made of materials other than
steel, such as brass or other copper alloys, can
also be damaged by corrosion when exposed to
an aggressive environment. Possible corrosion
damage can be in the form of pits and/or cracks.
37
3.3.2 Erosion
Erosion can occur when particles suspended in
the process liquid slide along or strike against a
surface. Erosion can become intensified locally
by flows of higher velocity.
Inspect regularly tor erosion damage. Inspect
frequently if the process liquid is erosive.
•
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if Max. 1 mm
the largest depth of any erosion damage exceeds
1,0 =. Valuable information as to the nature of
the damage can be recorded using photographs,
plaster impressions or ha=ered-in lead.
Erosion is characterised by: Maximum permitted erosion.
• Burnished traces in the material.
• Dents and pits having a granular and shiny
surface.
Parts of the bowl particularly subjected to

erosion are:
• The paring disc.
• The top disc.
•
•
The underside of the distributor in the vicinity
of the distribution holes and wings.
The sludge ports.

•
Look carefully for any signs of erosion damage.
Erosion damage can deepen rapidly and
consequently weaken parts by reducing the
thickness of the metal.
38
3.3.3 Cracks
Cracks can initiate on the machine after a
period of operation and propagate with time.
• Cracks often initiate in areas exposed to high
cyclic material stresses. These cracks are
called fatigue cracks.
• Cracks can also initiate due to corrosion in

an aggressive environment.
• Although very unlikely, cracks may also

occur due to the low temperature
embrittlement of certain materials.
The combination of an aggressive environment
• and cyclic stresses will speed-up the formation

of cracks. Keeping the machine and its parts
clean and free from deposits will help to
prevent corrosion attacks.
All forms of cracks are potentially dangerous as
they reduce the strength and functional ability of
components.
Always replace a part if cracks are present
It is particularly important to inspect for cracks
• in rotating parts.
Always contact your Alfa Lava! representative
if you suspect that the largest depth of the
damage exceeds 1,0 mm. Do not continue to use
the separator until it has been inspected and
cleared for operation by Alfa Lava!.
39
3.3.4 Discharge mechanism
Dirt and lime deposits in the sludge discharge

mechanism can cause discharge malfunction or
no discharge.
• Thoroughly clean and inspect the parts. Pay
special attention to important surfaces (1, 2, 3
and 4). If necessary. polish with steel wool.
• Clean nozzles (5) using soft iron wire or
similar. Note that lime deposits can with
advantage be dissolved in a 10% acetic acid
solution.

3.3.5 Bowl hood and sliding bowl

bottom
Poor sealing between the bowl hood seal ring and

the edge of the sliding bowl bottom will cause a
leakage of process liquid from the bowl.
• A Sealing surface in the bowl between bowl

hood and sliding bowl bottom.

• Damage to threads or a broken paring disc can

prevent correct tightening of the inlet pipe and
cause the paring disc to scrape against the top
disc, even though the height adjustment of the
paring disc has been made correctly.
1 Examine the threads for damage and rectify if
required.
2 Examine the paring disc for damage and to
see if the disc walls have parted. If they have,
the inlet pipe has to be replaced with a new

The external cleaning of frame and motor should

be restricted to brushing, sponging or wiping
while the motor is running or is still hot.
Never wash down a separator with a direct
water stream. Totally enclosed motors can be
damaged by direct hosing to the same extent as
open motors and even more than those, because:
• Many operators believe that these motors are
sealed, and normally they are not.
• • A water jet played on these motors will

produce an internal vacuum, which will suck

3.7 Cleaning 3 Service Instructions
3.7.1 Cleaning agents

When using chemical cleaning agents, make
sure you follow the general rules and suppliers'
recommendations regarding ventilation,
protection of personnel, etc.
For separator bowl, inlet and outlet

A chemical cleaning agent must dissolve the
deposits quickly without attacking the material
of the separator parts.
• For cleaning of lube oil separators the most

important function of the cleaning agent is to
be a good solvent for the gypsum in the
sludge. It should also act as a dispersant and
emulsifier for oil. It is recommended to use
Alfa Laval cleaning liquid for lube oil
separators which has the above mentioned

3.9.1 Vibration analysis
A separator normally vibrates and produces a

different sound when passing through its critical
speeds during run-up and run-down.
It also vibrates and sounds to some extent when
running. It is good practice to be acquainted with
these normal conditions.
Excessive vibrations and noise indicate that
something is wrong. Stop the separator and
identify the cause.
Use vibration analysis equipment to periodically
check and record the level of vibration.

Cleaning and inspection

Check shaft (spindle) end and/or bearing seat
in the housing for damage indicating that the
bearing has rotated on the shaft (spindle) and/
or in the housing respectively. Replace the
damaged part, ifthe faults cannot be remedied
by polishing or in some other way.
Assembly
• Leave new bearings in original wrapping until
ready to fit. The anti-rust agent protecting a
new bearing should not be removed before
use.
•
• Use the greatest cleanliness when handling
Clean and smear the bearing seating
the bearings. before assembly.
To facilitate assembly and also reduce the risk of

damage, first clean and then lightly smear the
bearing seating on shaft (spindle) or
alternatively in housing, with a thin oil.
• When assembling ball bearings. the bearings

must be heated in oil to maximum 125 QC.
[NOTE]
• Heat the bearing In a clean container with a cover.
Use only clean oil with a flash point above 250 "C.
The bearing must be well covered by the 011 and not

be in direct contact with the sides or the bottom of
the container. Place the bearing on some kind of
support or suspended in the oil bath. The bearing must not be in direct contact
with the container.

3.10 General directions 3 Service Instructions
• There are several basic rules for assembling

cylindrical bore bearings:
- Never directly strike a bearing's rings, cage
or rolling elements while assembling. A ring
may crack or metal fragments break off.
- Never apply pressure to one ring in order to
assemble the other.
- Use an ordinary hammer. Hammers with
soft metal heads are unsuitable as
fragments of the metal may break off and
enter the bearing.
- Make sure the bearing is assembled at a
•
Use a driving-on sleeve for bearings that are not
right angle to the shaft (spindle). heated,
• If necessary use a driving-on sleeve that

abuts the ring which is to be assembled with
an interference fit, otherwise there is a risk that
the rolling elements and raceways may be
damaged and premature failure may follow.
Angular contact ball bearings

Always fit single-row angular contact ball
bearings with the wide shoulder of the inner race
facing the axial load (upwards on a bowl
spindle). The wide shoulder of the inner race must
face the axial load.

3 Service Instructions 3. 10 General directions
3.10.2 Before shut-downs
Before the separator is shut-down for a period of

time, the following must be carried out:
• Remove the bowl, according to instructions in
chapter 4 Dismantling/Assembly, page 65.
• Protect parts in contact with process liquid
from corrosion by applying a thin layer of oil.
• Remove the O-rings.

Protect cleaned carbon steel parts against
corrosion by oiling. Separator parts that are not
assembled after cleaning must be wiped and
•
protected against dust and dirt.
[NOTE]
The bowl must not be left on the spindle during
standstill for more than one week.
Vibration in foundations can be transmitted to the

bowl and produce one-sided loading of the bearings.
The resultant Indentations in the ball bearing races

can cause premature bearing failure.
Remove the bowl if the separator is left at
If the separator has been shut-down for more standstill for more than one week.

the surface of the spindle with a thin layer of
lubricating paste. Replace the spring with a new
one if it has lost its stiffness. Oil the spring when
assembling.
Checking the brake

After the brake assembly has been fitted,
release the brake and rotate the bowl slowly by
hand. If a scraping noise is heard, the friction
•
element is probably touching the coupling

• Shall be open.
372 Inlet for discharge liquid.

•
• A discharge is initiated according to
procedure in "Operating Water Interface".
• After a discharge has been triggered the
motor current or bowl speed should be
monitored to indicate if there comes a
current peak or a sudden drop in speed. The
absence of such a signal indicates that the
discharge has failed and corrective action
should be taken (e.g. trigger a new
discharge). Absence of a discharge may
result in problems due to solidification of the
sediment.
That the current returns to original value after
•
discharge could also be supervised. If
current is much higher after the discharge
this might be an indication that the bowl has
not closed properly after the discharge.
For service purposes there should be a
•
counter to count number of discharges.

AJfa Laval rei 553406, rev. 7
Quality requirements for operating water

Operating water is used in the separator for several different
functions: e.g. to operate the discharge mechanism, to lubricate
and cool mechanical seals, etc.
Poor quality of the operating water may with time cause erosion,
corrosion and/or operating problem in the separator and must
therefore be treated to meet certain demands.
The following requirements are of fundamental importance

1
2
Turbidity-free water, solids content <0,001% by volume.
Deposits must not be allowed to form in certain areas in the
separator.
Max particle size 50 1JITl.
•
3 Total hardness less than 180 mg CaC0 3 per litre, which
corresponds to 10 °dH or 12,5 °E.
Hard water may with time form deposits in the operating
mechanism. The precipitation rate is accelerated with increased
operating temperature and low discharge frequency. These
effects become more severe the harder the water is.
4 Chloride content max 100 ppm NaCI (equivalent to 60 mg CIII).
Chloride ions contribute to corrosion on the separator surfaces in
contact with the operating water, including the spindle.
Corrosion is a process that is accelerated by increased
separating temperature, low pH, and high chloride ion
5
concentration.
A chloride concentration above 60 mg/I is not recommended.
pH>6
Increased acidity (lower pH) increases the risk for corrosion; this
•
is accelerated by increased temperature and high chloride ion
content.

Alfa Laval accepts no liability for consequences
arising from unsatisfactorily purified operating

• Group A oil: a high quality gear oil on paraffin base with stable AW (anti wear)
additives.
• Group B oil: a high quality gear oil on paraffin base with stable EP (extreme pressure)
additives.
• Group D oil: a synthetic base oil with additives stable at high operating temperatures.
• Group E oil: Characteristics as a group D-oil but suitable at a higher operation power
(ii5 kW)
Do not mix different oil brands or oils from different oil groups.
•
Always use clean vessels when handling lubricating oil.
Great attention must be paid not to contaminate the lubricating oil. Of particular
importance is to avoid mixing of different types of oil. Even a few drops of motor oil
mixed into a synthetic oil may result in severe foaming.
Any presence of black deposits in a mineral type oil is an indication that the oil base
has deteriorated seriously or that some of the oil additives have precipitated. Always
investigate why black deposits occurs.
If it is necessary to change from one group of oil brand to another it is recommended to
do this in connection with an overhaul of the separator. Clean the gear housing and
the spindle parts thoroughly and remove all deposits before filling the new oil.
[MOTE]
Always clean and dry parts (also tools) before
lubricants are applied.
Check the oil level before start. Top up when

necessary.

Oil volume see 5.2 Technical data, page 119.
It is of utmost importance to use the lubricants recommended in our

documentation.
This does not exclude, however, the use of other brands, provided they have
equivalently high quality properties as the brands recommended. The use of
oilbrands and other lubricants than recommended, is done on the exclusive
responsibility ofthe user or oil supplier.

6.1 Operating routine

These operating instructions describe routine
procedures to follow before and during the
start, running and stopping sequences of the
separator.
If system documentation is available always
follow the operating instructions ofthis. If
there is no system documentation the
instructions below are to be followed.
6.2 Before first Start

Technical demands for connections and logical
limitations for separator are listed in chapter
"Technical Reference" on page 117.
Ensure that the separator is correctly installed and
that feed lines and drains have been flushed clean.
•
Breakdown hazard
couplings, covers, and guards must be in place and properly
tightened. Non compliance may lead to breakdown.
Electrical hazard
Follow local regUlations for electrical installation and
earthing (grounding). •
Breakdown hazard
Check that the power frequency Is in agreement with the
machine plate. If incorrect, reSUlting overspeed may cause
breakdown.
50 Hz?
60Hz?
Use the separation system for the purpose, and within the
limits, specified by Alfa Laval. Failure to do so could cause a
violent breakdown.
168
6 Operating 6.2 Before first Start
2 Check the oil sump level.Top up if necessary.
• The oil level should be slightly above middle

of the sight glass.
[M()1'£]
Too much or too little oil can damage the separator
bearings.
•
6.2.1 Selection of gravity disc
The separator is delivered with a set of gravity
discs with different diameters for purification
operation. The hole diameter of the gravity disc
sets the position of the oil/water interface in the
separator, see page 20. The separation
efficiency can be optimized by selection of the
correct diameter for each oil quality.
As a guide the 5.8.2 Gravity disc nomogram,
page 144 can be used. The size of the first
gravity disc to be tried can be read directly
• from the nomogram.
The best separation results are obtained by
using a gravity disc with as large size as
possible, which will not cause a broken water
seal in the bowl or an emulsification in the
water outlet.
The presence of salt water in the oil may
demand the use of a gravity disc with bigger
hole than indicated in the nomogram. The
nomogram is based on the properties of fresh
water in the oil.
For operating the separator as a clarifier the
diameter of the disc should be 40 mm.

3. Be alert for unusual noises and conditions.
4. Note the normal occurrence of critical
speed periods. Some vibrations occur for
short periods during the starting cycle,
•
when the separator passes through its
critical speeds. This is normal and passes
over without danger. Try to learn the
vibration characteristics of the critical
speed pattern.
When excessive vibrallon occurs, keep bowl filled
and stop separator.
The cause of the vibration must be identified and
rectified before the separator is restarted.
Excessive vibration may be due to incorrect
assembly or insufficient cleaning of the bowl.
173
5. Check the current to the separator motor to

ensure that the separator has reached full
speed:
During start, the current reaches a peak and
then slowly drops to a low and stable value.
For normal length of the start-up period see
5.2 Technical data, page 119.
