ULTRA-SEP™ OILY WATER SEPARATOR
How ULTRA-SEP Sets the NEW Standard
The ULTRA-SEP Oily Water Separator integrates a HELI-SEP high efficiency coalescing separator with the unique SPIR-O-LATOR Membrane that provides a Positive Physical Barrier to oil. The system optimizes performance in both processing phases for separating and removing free and emulsified oils from bilge / slop water and deck drain water.
First Stage:
High efficiency removal of free oil with HELI-SEP
The world’s leading coalescing matrix separator.
The first stage efficiently removes free oils using our HELI-SEP coalescing matrix separator, which is familiar to marine and offshore operators worldwide. More than 7,000 units in service around the world is proof of its reliable performance.
1. Incoming bilge or deck drain water is drawn through a high-density permanent matrix providing approximately 242,300 coalescing points with a surface area of 390 square meters per cubic meter of matrix volume.
2. Free oil droplet coalesce and rise to the top of the vessel for collection and discharge while particulate impurities settle to the bottom for removal.
3. The oil discharge sensor initiates the automated first stage cleaning cycle, cleaning automatically during oil discharge.
Second Stage:
Superior separation of emulsions with SPIR-O-LATOR Membrane Technology
The Positive Physical Barrier against oil and contamination.
SPIR-O-LATOR Membranes reliably and continuously produce clean water with less than 5ppm oil content. ULTRA-SEP systems are certified to IMO MEPC.107(49) by the United States Coast Guard, one of the industry’s toughest testing and enforcement agencies.
1. Processed water from the first stage is pumped through the second stage at the optimum flow and pressure for the SPIR-O-LATOR Membranes.
2. The membranes repel oil at the surface and attract water. Their 0.01 micron pores present a Positive Physical Barrier that rejects oil molecules and particulates while allowing water to pass.
3. Water permeating the membranes is clean with less than 5 ppm and can be discharged overboard.
4. Concentrated oil waste—the “reject”—is sent to the sludge tank.
