OIL SEPARATOR

Cleaning of the lubricating oil system with a separator removes and reduces the harmful contaminates which enter the oil in various ways, from leaking cooling systems to the un-burnt heavy fuel oil residue from incomplete combustion. All of these play their part in reducing the life of the lubricating oil. The use of a separator, in stalled in parallel with the engine lube oil system, helps to remove all of these and prolongs the life of the engine lube oil system thus reducing wear and failure of equipment.

Whether they are self cleaning or solid bowl machines the main objective of the fuel oil separator is to remove both water and solids from the fuel oil before it enters the engine via the fuel pumps and injectors. By removal of virtually all contaminates, wear and premature failure of the fuel injector system can be avoided.

Alfa Laval and Westfalia separators are used extensively on board ships for the cleaning of fuel oil and lubricating oil. Out of the three companies Alfa Laval has by far the biggest share of the market place and Alang Marine Services prides itself on its extensive knowledge of their machines.
