Flex system components for S-separators 805/815. *S-separators 805/815 can also be used to clean lighter fuel oils and lubricating oils.
Application S-separators
S-separators are based on Alcap technology,
which means they automatically adjust the oil/water
interphase and also supervise the water content in
the clean oil outlet. This makes them particularly
suitable for separating heavy fuel oils with varying
density, although they can be used to clean all of
the following:
Heavy fuel oils with densities up to 1 010 kg/m3
and viscosities up to 700 cSt/50C (higher
viscosities available upon request)
Lubricating oils
Distillates
Lighter diesel oils
S-separators 805/815 optimized for lower flows
onboard small ships combine ease of use, low
operating cost and robust design ensuring high
reliability. They are designed for automatic operation in periodically unmanned engine rooms 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
S-separators. Depending on the need, an
S-separator can be supplied as a separator
with ancillaries, as a customer-specified
module or as part of a comprehensive
package including services and order-
specific documentation.
Module examples
Flex system
An S-separator with ancillaries in the form
of optimized block components provides
full say over the use of space. This allows
for local modularization or do-it-yourself
assembly.
Flex modules
A compact S-separator module
can be built to a customer-specified
configuration from a wide range of
modular skids and machine blocks.
Multi-modules are possible, as well as
mixed modules including one or more
S-separators and/or P-separators for
the simultaneous treatment of different
types of mineral oils. All Flex modules
are factory tested to ensure faster
start-up and commissioning.
Features and benefits
Efficient discharge
technology
A water transducer in the clean oil
outlet automatically adjusts the oil/water
interphase to maximize separation
performance.
Simple installation
The separators highly efficient displacement ensures that virtually no oil is lost.
Separated sludge and water are efficiently removed from the system.

The CentriShoot discharge system greatly
reduces sludge volumes. Its fixed discharge side flexes gently to expose the
discharge ports, thereby eliminating metalto-metal wear.
CentriLock
The CentriLock bowl-locking system uses
a lightweight, non-threaded snap ring.
This prevents wear by allowing easy
removal without a sledgehammer.

Operating principle
An S and P Flex separation system based on an
S-separator 821 886 is operated automatically by the EPC
60 controller. 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.
During operation, separated sludge and water accumulate
at the bowl periphery and are intermittently discharged by
the high-precision CentriShoot discharge system.
The separators operation is based on the Alcap principle,
which means the separator automatically adjusts to the
nature of the oil. No gravity disc is needed. A water transducer in the clean oil outlet measures capacitative resistance and signals changes to the EPC 60 controller.
Depending on the water content, the EPC 60 either opens
the drain valve or expels the water through the bowl discharge ports during sludge discharge. A patented paring
tube adapts itself to remove the water from the bowl while a
paring disc pumps away the clean oil.
During normal operation, vital process parameters are monitored. These parameters, as well as alarms, are indicated
by easy-to-understand text messages on the LCD display
of the EPC 60 controller.
CentriShoot
Instead of a sliding bowl bottom, the CentriShoot discharge
system features a fixed discharge slide that flexes at its
edge. This increases discharge accuracy and does away
with metal-to-metal wear.
CentriLock
Conventional lock rings are threaded and must be removed
with a sledgehammer. Over time, the metal-to-metal wear
between bowl and lock ring can lead to expensive bowl
repair or replacement.
STEP ONE:
The CentriShoot discharge slide is fixed at the centre. During separation,
the slide covers the discharge ports.
STEP TWO:
During sludge discharge, the edge of the slide flexes downward, exposing
the discharge ports.
The CentriLock snap ring lifts out and snaps in easily without any
threads to wear.
Instead of a conventional lock ring, the CentriLock bowllocking system features a non-threaded snap ring.
This lightweight ring snaps quickly into place and is easily
removed with only an Allen key.
STEP THREE:
After discharge, the slide moves gently back into position to close the ports.
This is done hydraulically, without any springs.
Operations
Preventive maintenance procedures
are handled quickly and simply with
the help of a compression tool. The
snap ring of the patented CentriLock
bowl-locking system is non-threaded
and requires only an Allen key to
remove.
