1.4. Security Precautions

The following precautions must be taken for the security of the personnel who operate
the Separator:
1. Fire prevention measures will have to be taken if the separated product requires it.
2. Precaution must be taken to keep the area around the Separator clean to prevent
accidents.
3. All product spills must be dried immediately with rags, and these
removed to a safe place.
4. Gloves must be used when parts are handled that have been in
contact with the fluids handled by the Separator.
5. If some of the handled fluids are flammable and volatile, smoking must not be
allowed near the Separator and accessory equipment.
6. In these cases suitable fire-fighting equipment must be also installed near the
Separator before carrying out any type of maintenance.
7. Avoid unnecessary contact of the skin and clothes with the
handled fluids.
8. After maintenance or working with the Separator, the hands and
parts that have been in contact with the fluids must be thoroughly
washed.
9. Immediate medical must be lent to cuts in the skin, upset stomach,
etc., due to possible contacts with the product or to the inhalation of gases.
Danger!!!
The equipment is normally fed voltages that can cause damage if contact with these
lines takes place. Precautions must be taken when opening the Control Panel, since
even if the general switch is open there will be tension in the
input terminals of the control panel. As a precaution the line that
feeds the equipment should be disconnected.
10. If the Separator is in an area classified as security, the

necessary precautions must be taken when working with the electrical equipment.
In these cases the control panel should not be opened with tension.
Important
Security and environmental protection are the responsibility of the user.
Facet does not assume any responsibility for the inadequate use of this
separator or its use outside the parameters for which it was designed.
Warning!!!
The pump is positive displacement type. Operation of the pump against an
excessive pressure caused by closed valves, by high pressure losses in the piping or
by product sedimentation will lead to the destruction of the pump, drive, pipe work
and/or downstream equipment., it is imperative to avoid the operation of the pump with
any obstruction at the discharge line.
7 www.pecofacet.com
11. The Separator must be securely installed on a stable, horizontal surface. following
it to tip over would endanger life and limb.
Warning!!!
The Separator works with a pump. Moving or working parts must be protected against
accidental contact.
Warning!!!
The pneumatic valves are closed by a tensed spring. Disassemble very carefully to
avoid having the spring jump out and cause injury.
Danger!!!

5. Connect bilge water inlet to suction line from the bilge. The suction height incl. losses
due to friction in the pipes should not exceed 7 m W.G.. A non return valve (foot valve")
must be fitted at the suction point in the bilge or well. A coarse filter or strainer basket
with approx. 3 mm perforations should also be fitted.
6. Connect water outlet to overboard check valve (no Facet supply). Setting of this
overboard check valve is max. 0,2 bar.
7. Connect the back to bilge connection down to bilge.
8. Connect oil outlet to oil collection tank or slop tank (funnelled connection). No valve in
this line is allowed.
9. Make funnelled connection from the sample cocks down to bilge and ppm alarm
discharge line.
10. Connect the oil free water to the water filling points. Connect the oil free water to the
ppm alarm too.
11. Connect the power supply in accordance with the electrical schema.
If a steam coil is mounted, connect low pressure steam (max. 3.2 bar) to steam inlet and fit
a steam condensate trap (float operated) to steam outlet connection. Maximum allowed
temperature in the Separator is 72C and in the oil collecting dome 80C.
6. START UP
After the installation according to Section 0, the unit is ready for initial filling
with oil-free water.
First, carry out the following pre-operational checks:
1. Check all bolted connections for loose bolts and tighten them, if
necessary.
2. For the pump, oil monitor and the other equipment see relevant instructions in appendix.
6.1. Previous Verification.
After making all the connections and having installed the accessories, a control is due
before putting the Separator to test with fluid:
1. Make sure that the anchorage bolts are properly tightened.
2. Inspect all the flanged connections to make sure that the gaskets
are in place.
3. Check that the bolts of the flanges are tightened.
4. Check bolts and screws of all the accessories to make sure that
they are tightened.
Warning!!!
Prior to starting up the Separator, ensure that all pipelines are free from foreign bodies.
Installation residues (such as weld spatter, screws, steel chips etc.) will lead to damage
of the pump.
5. Look over pipes to verify that they have not been flattened or bent. If a pipe is
damaged, replace it with a new one.
6. Check racords and sleeves to verify their tightness. Do not over-tighten the
threaded connections as this can give rise to losses or dripping of fluid.
7. Verify that the(s) cover(s) of the Separator is/are properly closed.
8. If the Separator has heat insulation be sure that such isolation does not interfere
with visual or operational functions of the elements of control and instrumentation.
Figure 3 Opening vent and closing drains
9. Remove all leftover materials,
specially fuels, from the working

Figure 6 Discharge to the sea
For purposes of the following explanation

7.1. Suction and Separation of the Oil-Water

Mixture
OPERATION MODE
The pump draws the oil/water mixture MODO OPERACION

from the bilge tank and transfers it into AUTO MAN

the coalescing plate Separator.
The pump is installed between the water
outlet side of Plate packs Separator and
membrane inlet, in order to minimize
emulsification of the oil/water mixture. BILGE WATER INLET

The coalescing plate Separator contains WATER OVERBOARD

a rectangular trough which contains the

coalescing plates. BOMBA
The flange at the end of the tank CAMBIAR MEMBRANA
MEMBRANE
separates the inlet from the outlet MEMBRANA RECIRCULATION
RECIRCULACION
compartment. The oil/water mixture inlet

pipe splits into two pipes which protrude
into the side chambers alongside the ON BYPASS
internal trough. The oil/water mixture will

separate into two streams upward
almost vertical where most of the oil is
sent to the recovered oil area.
The water, now only containing a low concentration of oil formed by small droplets,
proceeds towards the coalescing plates.
Figure 7 Separation water-oil in the coalescent plates Facet Mpack
The even pattern of the plates produces a regular flow with very low turbulence
(Reynolds number: 60-100 ). Within the plate pack, oil droplets are deposited onto the
oleophilic plate material by gravity.
Due to the velocity variations in the flow stream, created by the modified sinusoidal flow
path, small oil particles are coalesced hydrodynamically by particles colliding into
bigger particles of oil, which then separate by gravity and are captured by the oleophilic
plates. Then, the oil collected in the plates is allowed to "sweep" through the plates
pack towards the surface, where it is picked up and transferred to oil collection dome.
After coalescing separation and when a specific level of emulsions are present in the
plate pack Separator outlet, the oil monitor sends a signal and automatically the
membrane line will be opened and the bypass line closed, until bilge is empty.
In normal operation, the water leaving the Separator contains less than 15 ppm of oil
free, and it is discharged outwards or passed through the membrane module.
Figure 8 Oil-Discharge
7.2. Automatic Oil Discharge
Oil-free water from the ship supply must OIL OUTLET

be provided to discharge the oil out of
the unit. The minimum pressure required

the reclaimed oil holding tank (not 0
supplied by FACET). A probe is installed AUTO MAN
in the oil collecting area to control the oil

discharge when sufficient oil is
accumulated.
This probe, through the control system BILGE WATER INLET
and the Oil Monitor, controls the "oil-free ENTRADA AGUA

This enables the recovered oil to be

effectively evacuated out of the unit. So, BYPASS

high concentrations of oil of up to 100%
of sludge are thus dealt with by a simple
control system.
7.3. Passing through the membrane
When the oil concentration in the effluent exceeds the ppm limit value, the intermediate
pneumatic three way valves automatically commutes to membrane mode passing the
fluid through the membrane mode and the indicating lamp Bypass switches off. The
flow through the membrane goes on until the bilge is empty.
7.4. Recirculation to bilge system
In operation mode described on paragraph 7.3, when the oil concentration in the
effluent exceeds the allowed limit value, the outlet pneumatic three way valves
automatically commute to "Recirculation to Bilge" closing the line of the Overboard
Water Discharge and cause the bilge water to return to the bilge.
After the trouble is located (see section 0) and corrective action has been taken, the oil
monitor will switch the system automatically back to normal operation. If no action is
taken, the mixture will continue to re-circulate.

8. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
After 250 hours of operation, the unit should be drained to remove the accumulation of
solids. While the Separator is out of operation, open simultaneously one of the drainage
valves and the water filling valve to flush the solids out of the tank into the
slop tank.
After 2,000 hours of operation, the Separator tank and the plates should be
cleaned. The sludge amount found in the plates pack should be used as a
basis to determine the next interval before cleaning. If 20% or less of the
passages between plates are blocked with sludge, the interval should be
extended, but if 60% or more are blocked, the interval should be shortened.
The plates pack must be removed from the trough for its cleaning.
8.1. Plate Pack Cleaning
To take out the plates pack follow the next steps:
1. Remove all separated oil out of the oil collecting area as follows:
2. Open test cock on the top of the unit (only allowed when the pump is running) and
close it as soon as the pump stops.
3. Stop the unit as soon as the pump runs again. Operation Mode Selector (Auto - 0 -
Man) on "0" position.
4. Open the water filling line for 2 min. with the Separator out of operation.

clamps of the plates packs, the top support with gaskets and the PVC corrugated
plate(s) between the plates pack and the lateral wall of the trough.
Figure 14 Removing the plate pack from the trough
12. After this, take out the plates packs by carefully pulling them out of the trough by
hand. Take care not to damage the plates or the plate sealing.
Important
It is not necessary to dismantle the plates from the packs.
13. Clean the plates pack by flushing with water from the side. An 1-1/2" fire hose at
0,7 - 1 bar or a standard garden hose at normal pressure 2 - 2,5 bar are effective
cleaning tools.
In a similar manner, steam can also be used to flush plates pack as long as the
localised tip temperature in the area close to the plates does not exceed 70C.
Continue above procedure until all the plates pack assemblies have been removed
and flushed clean.
14. Flush the interior of the tank downward and allow all sediments to leave by the
drain valve.
15. Re-Assembly of the M-coalescing plate packs: to replace the plates, follow the
procedure described below (see corresponding drawing).
16. For easier handling glue the gaskets on the bottom and against the round plate of
the trough as shown in the drawing.
17. Replace the bottom supports and plates packs and push them against the round
plate and the left side wall seen from the open end of the trough.
Figure 15 Cleaning the plate pack
18. Replace the PVC corrugated plate over
the full length of the trough between the
plates pack and the right side wall of the
trough.
Be sure that they will rest on the bottom of
the trough.
19. Replace the gaskets and top support with
clamp according to the drawing.
20. Replace the remaining clamps according to the drawing.
Figure 16 Locating the plate pack into
the trough
21. Go through the pre-operational
checks as outlined in Section 0 page
16 and put the unit in operation as
outlined in that Section.
8.2. Disposable membrane replacement
The disposable membrane replacement is
indicated by the control panel acoustic
and indicating lamp. When this alarm
happens the unit stops.
Warning!!!
If filter is equipped with electrical heater, be sure to turn off the heater before draining
the unit.
1. Close the blocking valves in the inlet and outlet lines.

2. Open vent valves (or remove plug).
3. Open drain valves (or remove plugs).
4. Allow the unit enough time to vent and drain completely before opening.
5. Loosen and remove cover bolts or release the swing bolt assembly of the
membrane vessel.
6. Remove cover using lifting handles.
7. Discard old cover gasket to a FIRE-SAFE place.
8. Remove nuts, lock washers, flat washer, gasket washers and end caps from the
centre rods.
9. Slide old disposable membrane from centre rods being careful not to drop the
centre seal from the assemblies. Discard all old elements to a FIRE-SAFE place.
It is not necessary to remove the centre rods from element adapters. If centre rods
were removed from adapters, thread the one-half inch jam nuts onto the centre rods
until centre rods are extending through the jam nuts. Screw centre rods into element
adapters until jam nuts are securely lock in place against element adapters.
Danger!!!
Due to the toxic effect of some of the additives used in liquid products, care should be
exercised in handling all parts that have been in contact with the liquid product.

mounting hardware.
11. Slide new membrane onto centre rods.
Warning!!!
Membranes should be handled by end caps only to prevent damage. Use only Facet
replace elements. Do not mix membranes of different manufacturer since they may
have different pressure drop and filtration characteristics.
12. Reassemble the end caps, gasket washers, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts
to centre rods. Be sure to install centre seals between the two deep or more element
assemblies.
13. Tighten hex nuts with a torque wrench according to drawing after it has been
ascertained that the elements are seated properly on adapters and seals.
14. Discard old cover seal to a FIRE-SAFE place. Install a new cover seal and close
cover.
15. Install cover bolts and tighten bolts evenly and securely to ensure good sealing.
