The greater the reliability, economy, cleanness and strength of the drive and supply systems, the quicker, more efficient, safer and more environmentally friendly the ship. Our separators and the cooling and supply systems give equal consideration to the economic challenges of maritime logistics and the increasingly stringent regulations for the protection of the sea as well as progress in shipbuilding technology.

 

Our system solutions reliably ensure high performance and economical operation of diesel engines, increasing their life expectancy even under extreme conditions.

 

Examples of this include:

• Westfalia Separator^® eagleclass: with their high g-force, these separators set the new standard around the world for the treatment of fuel and lube oils for maritime use. They are designed for unmonitored continuous operation and comply with all the regulations of the classification societies
  
  
• Westfalia Separator^® dtype separators cost-effectively treat bilgewater and sludges containing oil, under the label of Westfalia Separator^®  seaprotectsolutions, and are fully compliant with the IMO and USCG requirements
  
  

• Modular compact units consist of a base module, which is additionally completely pre-assembled with the required units. Such compact units can be easily installed in the shipyard, as plug and play devices. Alternatively, the Westfalia Separator^® centripack concept offers the option of combining all of the required separators in a single unit and delivering this to the shipyard piped and pre-fitted with all control modules, where it can be quickly installed

• Westfalia Separator^® Visco BoosterUnits for the treatment of heavy fuel oil for marine engines. These adjust the viscosity, temperature and pressure to be optimal for the requirements of the engine manufacturer

• Fresh water generators from GEA Westfalia Separator continuously extract drinking water from seawater and eliminate the need for fresh water supply tanks

• Performance-enhancing retrofit units are easy to install and used to replace existing processes with the more efficient centrifugal separation technology, to extend performance limits, to increase capacities, to automate processes, and to reduce service and maintenance costs

From the perspective of GEA Westfalia Separator, all options are available for the marine area, from individual components to complete system solutions. The concept is set up for our customers in such a way that the interfaces and planning expenditure are reduced and substantial savings can be achieved in terms of weight and space requirement.
