Marine bilge water separator
In marine operations, managing bilge water effectively is crucial to comply with environmental regulations and to ensure safe operation of the vessel. Oily water mixtures from machinery spaces can pose challenges due to stringent requirements on permissible oil content in discharge waters.

Purifies bilge water and reduces residual oil content
The GEA bilge Separator is designed to purify oily water on board marine vessels, ensuring residual oil content of less than 15 parts per million (ppm) and, in more demanding scenarios, even less than 5 ppm with the addition of an adsorption filter. This is achieved by a gentle product feed and a high clarifying area in the bowl and disk stack. It features an integrated direct drive for more performance per square meter of footprint, easy serviceability, and smart connectivity. Optional integration with GEA SafetyMaster provides continuous monitoring of the overboard valve, preventing potential oil contamination. The system is modular, allowing customization to local circumstances even in restricted spaces, and includes a feed pump, automatic filter, preheater, self-discharging separator, oil monitor, and control panel. GEA Marine has been providing pioneering centrifugal bilge water treatment solutions for 25 years.
