3.2 Design and function
3.2.1 Application
The MMPX 303SGP-11 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 & O 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 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.
DANGER
Disintegration hazards
Use the separator only for the purpose and
parameters (type of liquid, rotational speed,
temperature, density etc.) specified in
chapter ‘‘8 Technical Reference” on page
137 and in the Purchase Order documents.
Consult your Alfa Laval representative before
any changes outside these parameters are
made.
