Bilge water separator for Compass Water Solutions ULTRA-SEP 500-C

The bilge water separator, part number US-500-C, is a specialized component used within the Compass Water Solutions ULTRA-SEP 500-C system. Its primary function is to separate oil from bilge water generated on vessels, ensuring that the water discharged meets established concentration limits for hydrocarbons. This process is essential for maintaining compliance with international maritime regulations such as MARPOL and preventing the discharge of pollutants into marine ecosystems.

This component is specifically engineered for the Compass Water Solutions ULTRA-SEP 500-C model. The system utilizes a multi-stage design that incorporates principles of coalescence and filtration to achieve effective separation of oil and water. Compass Water Solutions is the manufacturer of this unit, which is designed to handle specific volumes of bilge water while maintaining operational efficiency in marine environments.

Bilge water separators serve as a critical part of a vessel's wastewater management system. By continuously processing bilge water, these separators protect the marine environment from oil contamination. The system typically operates by passing bilge water through various stages where oil droplets are coalesced and removed, allowing the treated water to be safely discharged overboard while the separated oil is collected for proper disposal.
