Compass Water Solutions

The Compass Ultra-Sep Oily Water Separator is a two-stage system:

1st Stage:  The first stage efficiently removes free oil, by using our Compass Heli-Sep coalescing matrix separator. This process is familiar to ship operators worldwide, being that there are more than 20,000 units, in service, around the world. 

2nd Stage:  The second stage, SPIR-O-LATOR technology, provides a positive, physical barrier to break emulsions and provide continuous less than 5ppm discharge.  With proper setup and maintenance, oil cannot penetrate the SPIR-O-LATOR®; therefore, no oil will ever spill when using SPIR-O-LATOR correctly.

Options:
- 5 PPM calibrated monitor
- In-line heaters
- Duplex filtration pre-treatment skids

DNV GL class programme DNVGL-CP-0208 – Type approval – 5 ppm bilge water separators

The 5 ppm Bilge Water Separation System Type ‘ULTRA-SEP’ is intended for installation onboard ships or other marine units to reduce the oil content in bilge water to less than 5 ppm. The equipment is designed and tested to meet the requirements of DNVGL-CP-0208. The ‘ULTRA-SEP’ system uses a duel stage separation process: i) incoming bilge water passes through a ‘HELI-SEP’ unit consisting of coalescers and a polishing pack, ii) the feed pump then pressurizes the partly treated bilge water for processing through a process filter. Then, the pressure and flow rate are adjusted by the process pump which drives the partly treated water into the ‘SPIR-O-LATOR’ membrane units at high velocity. The output is processed water with oil content less than 5ppm. The waste oil from the ‘HELI-SEP’ unit is held in an oil separation chamber which is discharged occasionally through an oil discharge line. The concentrate with rejected oils and waste from the ‘SPIRO-LATER’ units is recirculated back to the inlet of the process filter for reprocessing. A small proportion of this recirculate is continuously bled off to the bilge/bilge water holding tank.
