0.5m3/h 15ppm Bilge Separator

0.5m3/h 15ppm Bilge Separator

Product Introduction:

The DY-0.5 Type 15ppm Bilge Water Separator is a next-generation marine pollution prevention unit, purpose-built to handle a nominal capacity of 0.5 m³/h while maintaining the highest standards of separation performance. Developed in full alignment with IMO MEPC.107(49) – the Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Pollution Prevention Equipment for Machinery Space Bilges of Ships – this model is specifically tailored for medium-sized vessels, including general cargo ships, chemical carriers, ro-ro vessels, and offshore support units, where higher throughput and uncompromised reliability are essential.

At the heart of the DY-0.5 lies a robust multi-stage separation process that combines gravity settling, enhanced coalescence, and fine-polishing filtration. This proven technology enables the system to effectively treat a broad spectrum of oily bilge mixtures – from light marine gas oil to high-density residual fuels (such as IFO 380 and HSFO) and their stable water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions – consistently producing an effluent with oil content below 15 ppm, even under challenging conditions such as rough seas, fluctuating inlet temperatures, or varying oil concentrations.

Distinctive Features and Practical Benefits:

1.High-Throughput Capacity with Stable Performance – With a rated flow of 0.5 m³/h, this model offers ample processing capability for engine rooms with moderate to large bilge water accumulation. The separator maintains its <15 ppm discharge standard across a wide operating envelope, including partial-load and peak-flow conditions.

2.Universal Fuel and Emulsion Handling – The system is engineered to accept all types of oily mixtures originating from machinery space bilges – including lubricating oil leaks, fuel oil spillages, condensed water with oil residues, and chemically stabilized emulsions – without requiring pre-heating or additive injection in most cases.

3.Intelligent Automation for Reduced Crew Workload – The DY-0.5 features a fully integrated control panel with PLC-based logic that manages automatic oil discharge cycles, maintains optimal separation temperature via self-tuning heating control, and activates safety shutdown protocols when abnormal conditions are detected. The self-cleaning design eliminates routine backwashing, and the internal separation elements are rated for a service life exceeding 12 months under normal usage, drastically reducing maintenance intervals and consumable costs.

4.Advanced 15ppm Alarm and Recirculation System – A certified 15ppm bilge alarm unit is seamlessly integrated into the discharge line. It provides continuous, real-time oil-in-water monitoring with a clear digital readout. Should the effluent concentration exceed the 15ppm limit, the system instantly activates audible and visual alarms while automatically diverting the flow back to the bilge holding tank via a three-way recirculation valve – preventing any non-compliant discharge and ensuring full environmental accountability.

5.Robust Data Recorder with 18-Month Capacity – The accompanying recording device is not merely a passive logger; it is an active compliance tool. It automatically captures and stores date/time stamps, alarm event types, operational mode changes, and system status parameters for every significant event. With a minimum 18-month storage capacity, the recorder allows officers to retrieve, display, and print standardized report formats on demand – a feature greatly appreciated during PSC inspections, class surveys, and flag state audits, as it provides immediate, verifiable proof of correct system operation.

6.Optimized Footprint for Space-Constrained Engine Rooms – The DY-0.5 achieves a compact and lightweight configuration without compromising on internal separation volume or component accessibility. Its skid-mounted, pipe-ready design significantly simplifies onboard installation and reduces engineering hours during newbuilding or retrofit projects. Routine maintenance tasks, such as element inspection or seal replacement, can be performed through easily accessible service hatches, minimizing downtime.

7.Comprehensive Supply Package and Responsive Service Network – Each DY-0.5 unit is delivered with a full set of start-up spares, specialized tools, and detailed technical documentation. HBN maintains a global network of service centers and stockpoints, ensuring that genuine replacement parts and expert technical assistance are available whenever and wherever needed – from major ports to remote operating regions.
