Sludge Treatment System MSPX 303

Cleaning system for oily waste from oil treatment systems

The Alfa Laval MSPX 303 system offers a fully integrated and modularized system for the de-oiling and de-sludging of oily waste. The reduction of oil content with this system secures the efficient operation of your bilgewater system. Application The MSPX 303 Sludge Treatment System is designed to handle sludge from oil treatment systems in diesel engine installations. The sludge consists of a mixture of water, oil and solids. In the MSPX 303 separator this mixture is separated into its main constituents. System concept The key components of the MSPX 303 Sludge Treatment System are: MSPX 303 separator. HEATPAC EHMS electric heater or S/T heater. EPC 41 control unit. Feed pump. Starters for separator and feed pump. Double strainer. Conditioning module MP 205 (optional).

Features MSPX 303 separator Separation of oil, water and solids simultaneously from oil sludges of varying composition and density without adjustment. Integral paring disc pumps for continuous discharge of separated oil and water. Unique separator bowl design. Separate outlets for oil, water and solids. Automatic start and stop sequence. Benefits Substantial savings in total sludge handling cost. Maximum separation of water prior to discharge to the collecting tank. Maximum recovery of oil for direct use in boiler or for incinerator disposal. Minimum sludge accumulation in bowl ensures long intervals between service. Throughput capacity The throughput capacity of the system is from 200 l/h to 500 l/h dependent on the use of separation conditioner MP 205.

System working principle Sludge is pumped from the sludge tanks and fed via the heater to the MSPX 303 separator. An eccentric screw pump is used to ensure the optimal feed rate to the separator. As an option to enhance the performance of the system a dosing unit for injection of separation conditioner MP 205 is used. The MP 205 is fed directly before the feed pump in the MSPX System. By doing this, the MP 205 will be thoroughly mixed into the feed as it passes through the feed pump and the heater. We recommend dosing MP 205 at a rate of 250500 ppm of the feed flow when dosing directly into the feed. A constant temperature of 95C is maintained by the HEATPAC heater with an accuracy of 1C. The MSPX 303 separator and the MP 205 dosing unit are connected to an EPC 41 control unit for fully automatic operation and designed for intermittent discharge of separated solids during operation. Water and oil are removed continuously, solid impurities intermittently. Since the MSPX 303 system is supplied as three complete modules with a total footprint of approximately 2 m3 it can easily be installed onboard any vessel or in any power plant.

Operations A preventive maintenance program is available with three versions of spare parts kits corresponding to three levels of service: Intermediate service kit every third to fourth month. Major service kit once a year. Three year service kit every third year. System manual includes detailed information in electronic format or paper copy: Installation instructions. Operating instructions. Alarm & fault finding. Service & spare parts. Commissioning & technical service is available from all Alfa Laval offices to start-up the system and to advise about operations & maintenance. Training in all aspects of oil treatment, fresh water generation and cooling is available. All services are incorporated in specially tailored Nonstop Performance packages, details are available from local Alfa Laval offices.
