PURIFIER UNIT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 3 THE PROCESS
3 The Process
The terms used in this process description are
explained in section "3.2 Definition of Terms" on
page 12.
3.1 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 of the 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 eliminates the risk of 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.
1810640-02 11
3 THE PROCESS PURIFIER UNIT SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.2 Definition of Terms
Preset time between sludge discharge When this time has elapsed after a sludge
sequences discharge, the next discharge is initiated.
(Parameter value)
Water seal Water, added to the separator bowl to prevent oil
(Parameter value) from escaping at the water outlet.
Displacement water Water, added to the separator bowl to displace
the oil and ensure there is no loss of oil at sludge
discharge.
Purifier A separator that cleans the oil from water and
sludge with continuous evacuating of separated
water.

1 PARAMETER SETIING PURIFIER UNIT PARAMETER LIST
1 Parameter Setting
The parameters are set in the operator panel
for the different separator systems, and for
different conditions within the systems.
There are three parameter types: Installation,

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
Purifier Units 100 and 150.
General principle
The 'ENTER' button is used to:
- enter into a parameter list
•
- enter into a parameter
- accept/store a new parameter value.
The'+' or the'-' buttons are used to change the

value flashing in the display window.

PURIFIER UNIT PARAMETER LIST 2 INSTALLATION PARAMETERS
2 Installation Parameters
The installation parameters must be set before
the initial start-up and before process
parameters are set. These parameters rarely
need to be adjusted again. If a new parameter
value is to be stored, it is necessary to go through
the whole list, and confirm at the end.

3 PROCESS PARAMETERS PURIFIER UNIT PARAMETER LIST
3 Process Parameters
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.
[t101'£]
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
to avoid an uneven build-up of sludge.

1.1 Demand Specification Water
Alfa Laval ref. 553406 rev. 7
Poor quality of the operating water may with time cause erosion, corrosion and I or
operating problems. The water shall be treated to meet certain demands.
The following requirements are of fundamental importance:
• 1 Turbidity-free water, solids content <0,001 % by volume .

Max. particle size 50 µm.
Deposits shall not be allowed to form in certain areas in the system.
•
2 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.
3 Chloride content max. 100 ppm NaCl (equivalent to 60 mg Cl/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 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 water supplied
by the customer.

1.1 Design and function
1.1.1 Application
The P 100 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 °C
• Marine diesel oil. viscosity 13 cSt/40 °C
• Intermediate fuel oil and heavy fuel oil

(viscosity 30-380 cSt/50 °C)
• 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 P100 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 4
Technical Reference, page 92 and in the Purchase
Order documents.
Consult your Alfa Laval representative before any

changes outside these parameters are made.

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.
The bowl is of disc type and hydraulically
operated at sludge discharges. The hollow bowl
spindle (B) features an impeller which pumps
closing water from a built-in tank to the
operating system for sludge discharge. I

The processing parts of the 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.

1. 1.4 Separating function

Liquid flow

Separation takes place in the separator bowl to
which unseparated oil is fed through the inlet
pipe (201). The oil is led by the distributor (T)
' . ¢201
towards the periphery of the bowl. Q220

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.
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
space (H) outside the disc stack and are
discharged at intervals through the sludge ports

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 inner
diameter of gravity disc (K).
Displacement of oil
To avoid oil losses at sludge discharge,
displacement water is fed to the bowl. x y

206 Water inlet
Sludge discharge occurs while the displacement 221 Water outlet
water is still flowing. A new water seal will
therefore establish immediately afterwards. The
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 with larger or smaller
diameter.
A gravity disc with a larger hole will move the
interface towards the bowl periphery, whereas a
disc with a smaller hole will place it closer to the
bowl centre.
The correct gravity disc is selected from a
nomogram, see 4. 7. 4 Gravity disc nomogram,
page 116'.
4 1810645-02
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.
1.1.5 Sludge discharge function
•
Sludge is discharged through a number of ports
(L) in the bowl wall. Between discharges these
ports are covered by the sliding bowl bottom (M),
which forms an internal bottom in the
separating space of the bowl. The sliding bowl
• bottom is pressed upwards against a sealing ring

{m) by force of the closing water underneath.
The sliding bowl bottom is operated
hydraulically by means of operating water
supplied to the discharge mechanism from an
external freshwater line. Opening water is
supplied directly to the operating system in the
bowl while closing water is supplied to the built-
in closing water tank, and pumped to the
operating system through the bowl spindle.
The opening and closing only takes a fraction of x y
a second, therefore the discharge volume is
limited to a certain percentage of the bowl Sludge discharge mechanism

N Upper distributing ring
ring and pushing the sliding bowl bottom 0 Operating slide
upwards. Simultaneously, the water in the P Lower distributing ring
•
chamber below the operating slide is drained off R Bowl body
through the nozzles in the bowl body.
1810645-02 5
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.
Bowl closing
After the sludge is discharged the sliding bowl
bottom is immediately pressed up and the sludge
ports in the bowl wall are closed.

1.1.6 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
• 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
•
Bowl spindle assembly
is sucked through the upper ball bearing by a fan
(b 1). Oil is supplied via an oil filling device, B Bowl spindle
which also serves as a level indicator. b1 Fan
b2 Rubber buffers
b3 Oil pump
Two identical ring-shaped rubber buffers (b2) b4 Sleeve
support the top bearing housing. The buffers are
held in place by a buffer holder and form
channels through which the recirculated oil
passes.
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.
Belt drive
Correct tension is set by means of a spring-
• loaded belt tightener.
Friction coupling
The friction coupling on the motor pulley ensures
I
gentle start-up and prevents overload of the

electric motor. Centrifugal force creates a torque
that acts on the pulley through the friction
elements.
Friction coupling

Sight glass
The sight glass shows the oil level in the oil
sump.
Vibration switch (option)

The vibration switch, properly adjusted, trips on
a relative increase in vibration.
The vibration switch is sensitive to vibration in a
direction perpendicular to its base. It contains a
vibration detecting mechanism that actuates a
•
snap-action switch when the selected level of
vibration is exceeded. After the switch has
tripped it must be reset manually by pressing
the button on the switch.

2.3 Check points at

Intermediate Service
2.3.1 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.
Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if

you suspect that the largest depth of a corrosion
Main bowl parts to check for 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 Laval.
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.
1810645-02 17
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.
•
Pits and spots forming a line may indicate cracks
beneath the suriace.
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.
18 1810645-02
2.3.2 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 for erosion damage. Inspect
frequently if the process liquid is erosive.
• Always contact your Alfa Laval representative if

the largest depth of any erosion damage exceeds
1,0 mm. Valuable information as to the nature of
Max.1 mm
• the damage can be recorded using photographs,

plaster impressions or hammered-in lead.
Erosion is characterised by:
• Burnished traces in the material.
Maximum permitted erosion.
• 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.
1810645-02 19
2.3.3 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 Laval 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 Laval.
20 1810645-02
2.3.4 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.
Use Loctite 242 on the threads if the nozzles

have been removed or replaced . /
•
2.3.5 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.
1810645-02 21
Fit a new bowl hood seal ring at each

Intermediate Service (IS) if the old ring is
damaged or indented more than 0,5 mm.
Fit a new ring as follows:
Press the ring into the groove with a straight
board (1" x 4"), placed across the ring.
[NOTE]
If a new ring is too narrow, put it into hot water,
70 - 80 °C for about 5 minutes.

2. 7 Cleaning
External cleaning Use a brush and a sponge or cloth when cleaning.
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
the water between the metal-to-metal contact
surfaces into the windings, and this water
cannot escape.
• Water directed on a hot motor may cause
Never wash down a separator with a direct
condensation resulting in short-circuiting and
water stream or spray.
internal corrosion.
Be careful even when the motor is equipped with
a protecting hood. Never play a water jet on the
ventilation grill of the hood.

2. 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 ~FHA~L

For parts of the driving devices

Use white spirit, cleaning-grade kerosene or
diesel oil.
Oiling (protect surfaces against corrosion)

Protect cleaned carbon steel parts against
corrosion by oiling. Separator parts that are not
assembled after cleaning must be wiped and
coated with a thin layer of clean oil and protected
from dust and dirt.
2. 7 .2 Cleaning of bowl discs
Bowl discs
•
Handle the bowl discs carefully so as to avoid
damage to the surfaces during cleaning.

2.9 Vibration
2.9.1 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 .
The level of vibration of the separator should not
exceed 9 mm/s.
When excessive vibration occurs, keep bowl filled
and stop separator.
The cause of the vibration must be identified and

corrected before the separator is restarted.
Excessive vibration can be due to incorrect
•
assembly or poor cleaning of the bowl .
1810645-02 37
2.9.2 Vibration switch (optional)

Adjustment of setpoint
The vibration switch is adjusted with the

separator in operation. The cover must be

Using an incorrect bearing can cause a serious
breakdown with injury to personnel and damage to
equipment as a result.
Do not re-fit a used bearing.

Always replace it with a new one.
Dismantling
•
Remove the bearing from its seat by using a
puller. If possible, let the puller engage the inner
ring, then remove the bearing with a steady force
until the bearing bore completely clears the
entire length of the cylindrical seat .
• The puller should be accurately centered during

dismantling; otherwise it is easy to damage the
seating.
For bearings where no driving-off sleeve
[No-rE] is included in the tool kit, use a puller
when removing bearings.
Do not hit with a hammer directly on the bearing.
1810645-02 39
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, if the faults cannot be remedied by
polishing or in some other way.
Assembly

• 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

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 .
