    An oil purifier uses centrifugal force to separate water and solid particles from oil by spinning it at high speeds in a centrifuge bowl.

    Bunker oil contains impurities like particles and water that are removed by settling and filtration processes. An oil purifier further purifies the oil using centrifugal force to separate components by specific gravity.

    Heating the oil reduces its specific gravity, widening the difference between it and water to enable better separation of the two.

    How an oil purifier work


    Bunker oil for combustion on ship's engines is of very low grade.
    They contain various impurities like particles and water droplets.
    Section of Oil Purifier Large particles in the fuel oil are allowed to settle down in the
    settling tank before they are pumped into the combustion process
    piping. After the particles have settled down, the fuel oil will be
    passed through some sort of filtration using coarse and fine
    filters.

    However, these processes are not sufficient to remove very fine


    particles and water droplets in the oil.

    If you have a bucket of a mixture of dirty oil and water and you
    When you pour dirty leave it in a quiet place to settle, what will happen? You will find
    oil into a pail of water, that after a long time, the oil will separate out from the water. And
    the oil will separate if the solid particles are heavy enough, they will also settle at the
    from the water and the bottom of the bucket.
    solids will settle down
    Notice that the separation is due to gravity (or specific gravity).
    Heavy bunker fuel oil has an SG of about 0.95, diesel oil about
    0.85 and fresh water has an SG of 1. Because of the difference in
    Specific Gravity, or SG, the oil will float on top of the water. The
    solid particles that is heavier than water will sink down. But the
    above method will take a long time. Furthermore, if the SG's of
    the mixture are very close, the oil and the water may not be able
    to separate very well.
    When oil is poured in

    will flow out in a
    similar manner as Through a system of gears, a centrifuge bowl is rotated at high
    shown speeds. Oil to be purified is allowed to enter the bowl while it is
    rotating. The heavier components in the oil are thus forced
    outwards. The solid particles that are too fine to be removed by
    filtration are forced towards the circumference of the bowl.
    The oil is also heated so as to reduce the SG of the oil. The
    difference in SG's between the oil and the water will thus be

    Account ! Oil purifiers usually maintain a layer of water inside the bowl to act
    www.acfx.com
    as a seal for the oil. Without the water layer to act as seal, the oil
    can flow out together with the particles and be lost.

    If removal of water is not needed, the centrifuge can be modified


    so that no water layer is needed. The centrifuge then becomes a
    clarifier.

    The actual construction of the purifier


    will depend on the manufacturer. The
    most common designs have conical
    plates to enable the particles to clump
    together. The larger particles formed
    will weigh more and are able to be
    separated from the oil easier.

    There will be a ring that acts like a


    barrier between the oil layer and the
    water layer. The selection of the size
    of the ring aperture will depend on the
    SG of the oil. Wrong selection of the
    ring will cause either water seal loss or
    oil loss.

    Some purifiers are designed for auto

    between the gravity model and the centrifugal
    model. )
    Like all machinery, bearings do wear
    down, o-rings and seals do become
    brittle, and bowl contact surfaces do
    get worn out. The high rotational
    speeds of the purifier can cause
    vibrations if the sludge accumulates
    unevenly. Shear pins or couplings do
    get broken if there is too high a torque
    between the bowl shaft and the motor
    drive.

    This calls for the services of the


    marine engineer.
