MVkatkaisijat

MVkatkaisijat, also known as MV separators, are devices used in the maritime industry to separate the oil and water mixture from the bilge water system of ships. Bilge water is a mixture of water, oil, and other contaminants that accumulate in the lowest parts of a ship's hull. MVkatkaisijat play a crucial role in maintaining the ship's environmental performance and compliance with international regulations.

These devices work by using centrifugal force to separate the oil from the water. The bilge water is pumped into the separator, where it is spun at high speeds. The centrifugal force causes the denser oil to move towards the outer wall of the separator, while the water remains in the center. The separated oil is then collected and stored for later disposal, while the clean water is returned to the ship's ballast water system.

MVkatkaisijat are essential for preventing oil spills and protecting the marine environment. They are designed to handle varying flow rates and oil content levels, making them suitable for use on different types of ships. Regular maintenance and inspection of these devices are necessary to ensure their proper functioning and to prevent any potential environmental hazards.
