Pre-treatment system for oily water separators

摘要

Ever since 2005, when the MEPC 60(33) regulation was replaced by MEPC 107(49), the older gravity-type Oily Water Separators (OWS) often had to be replaced by a centrifugal-type or an emulsion breaking cleaning system or, alternatively, the shipowner chose to compliment the existing OWS with additional filters. Many new separators sold today also act by using exchangeable filter cartridges.
