JOWA Bilge Water Separator
Separator Spares & Equipment, LLC is an Authorized JOWA Distributor and Factory Authorized Service Center. JOWA is a Swedish company in the maritime industry, specializing in oily water treatment systems, waste treatment systems, and freshwater treatment systems.
JOWA 3SEP Oily Water Separator
The JOWA 3SEP OWS is a dual-stage bilge water separation system utilizing differential specific gravity, coalescence plates, and oil filtration to separate and remove free and emulsified oil. The system is designed for a continuous flow with automatic operation. The system does not require any chemicals.
JOWA 3SEP Oily Water Separator Design
The JOWA 3SEP oily water separator system is designed for a continuous flow with automatic operation. The system does not require any chemicals.
The first stage removes free oil by gravity using coalescence plates. An adjustable oil sensor controls the valve to automatically release oil to the sludge tank or another dedicated tank. The adjustable oil sensor enables minimising the amount of treatable water discharged to the sludge tank.
In the second stage, emulsified oil is removed in the two filter tanks, and the ppm value is monitored by a ppm bilge alarm, before the treated water is discharged overboard. The collected free oil on top of each filter tank is released automatically to the sludge tank at a pre-set interval. When the alarm occurs, the 3SEP OWS will automatically close the overboard line and re-circulate the treatable water to the bilge. When the contamination falls below the set ppm, the overboard valve will open again without human intervention.
The system is designed as a skid assembly with all connection points collected for easy installation. When the unit reaches the customer, the only remaining task is to connect the water inlets and outlets and the electrical power supply, facilitating quick and easy installation onboard.
