ULTRA-SEP G Series Oily Water Separator
The Compass ULTRA-SEP G Series bilge water separators have a rated capacity of 4.4 GPM (1 m³/h). The Compass ULTA-SEP G bilge water separators are designed to meet your needs for a small, low-capital-cost solution. The Copmass ULTRA-SEP G oily water separators provide the same positive physical barrier technology as the larger ULTRA-SEP systems, but in a more compact design.
Designed to exceed MEPC.107(49) regulations, the Compass Water Solutions ULTRA-SEP G water treatment system integrates three tiers of proprietary innovative technology, the HELI-SEP coalescing matrix, a high-efficiency depth process filter, and the industry-leading SPIR-O-LATOR membrane. Together, they provide a foolproof solution for vessels, offshore rigs, and oil terminals.
Stage 1: Pre-Treatment & Free Oil Removal
The HELI-SEP matrix effortlessly merges small oil droplets into larger globules for rapid removal, while our depth process filter captures fine particulate matter.
Stage 2: Advanced Emulsion Breaking
The SPIR-O-LATOR membrane acts as a definitive physical barrier, repelling oily emulsions to ensure a consistent discharge of less than 5 ppm. Unlike traditional absorption media, which are prone to saturation and inefficient separation, the ULTRA-SEP membrane technology offers greater precision and eliminates the risk of accidental discharge.
Smart Maintenance
The system automatically monitors differential pressure. When cleaning is required, it initiates a targeted backwash cycle to clear emulsifications, returning to full service within just 30 minutes.

ULTRA-SEP Standard Series Oily Water Separator
The Compass ULTRA-SEP Standard Series bilge water separators have a rated capacity of 2.2 GPM (0.5 m³/h) to 44 GPM (10 m³/h). Compass Water Solutions’ oil water treatment solutions are designed for environmental and operational excellence.
Engineered to surpass MEPC.107(49) regulations, this high-performance system integrates three proprietary technologies: the Compass Water Solutions HELI-SEP coalescing matrix, a high-capacity depth process filter, and the industry-leading SPIR-O-LATOR membrane technology. The result is a robust, reliable solution for vessels, offshore rigs, and oil terminals that guarantees both regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
Stage 1: Primary Separation & Pre-filtration
The HELI-SEP coalescing matrix initiates the process by merging microscopic oil droplets into larger globules for rapid, effective removal of free oil. Simultaneously, an integrated depth process filter captures fine particulate matter, protecting the downstream membrane.
Stage 2: Advanced Emulsion Breaking
The SPIR-O-LATOR membrane creates a definitive physical barrier that repels oil and breaks complex emulsions. Unlike traditional absorption media, this innovative technology provides a consistent, high-quality overboard discharge of less than 5 ppm.
Smart Maintenance
The SPIR-O-LATOR membrane technology recognizes the differential pressure drop caused by clogged membranes, circulates cleaning fluid to backwash the membranes and remove emulsified material, and restarts, ready to produce overboard discharge within 30 minutes.
