Did you know
- The Alfa Laval PureBilge system, a single-stage centrifugal separation system for treating bilge water, was developed as part of Alfa Laval's focus on practical, cost-effective compliance, which also paved the way for other 'Pure' series products like PureVent and PureBallast. Centrifugal separation technology, upon which PureBilge is based, has been a core part of Alfa Laval's marine offerings since the early 1900s.
- The PureBilge sits within Alfa Laval's 'Pure' range of environmental compliance solutions, specifically for oily waste treatment. It is designed for larger bilge water volumes, with a compact version, PureBilge Compact, launched in February 2023 to cater to smaller vessels with lower treatment needs.
- The PureBilge is chosen for its ability to continuously and reliably reduce oil content in bilge water to below 5 ppm, exceeding the IMO's 15 ppm requirement, without the need for chemicals or filters. Its automated, single-stage centrifugal separation process, featuring the patented XLrator inlet, ensures efficient operation even with varying feed, oil shocks, and rough weather, while also reducing operating costs and the need for large holding tanks.
