Assembly, Installation and Commissioning

5.1 Assembly
The separator is delivered fully assembled and requires a minimum of work for installation. The oil discharge
controls are pre-wired and tested prior to despatch.

5.2 Installation

5.3 Location
The separator system should be installed in an accessible location. It should be bolted down to steelwork
sufficient to withstand the overturning movement of the system when full, at maximum roll and pitch of the
ship. Sufficient space around the separator should be allowed for maintenance and servicing.

5.4 Piping
Piping and valves to and from the separator should be installed strictly in accordance with the process flow
diagrams supplied. Piping runs should be kept to a minimum length and changes in direction avoided where
possible to prevent unnecessary turbulence in the inlet piping and keep back pressures to a minimum on the
discharge side.

5.5 Headroom
There should be adequate headroom for the removal of the first stage Hi-VOR plate and second stage coalescer
– required height is shown on the general arrangement drawing.

5.6 Electrical Wiring – Unit is supplied pre-wired to drawing no. CS1000-105.

External wiring should be made in strict accordance with the electrical drawings supplied. A hole will need to be
drilled into the Starter Panel for electrical supply connection. If Heater(s) are fitted to unit, they will need to be
wired separately direct to electrical supply.

5.7 Pump Rotation Check

Feed pump should be checked for rotation before operation. Prime pump with clean, fresh or sea water before
rotation check - refer to rotation arrow on pump for direction.

5.8 Compressed Air Supply

A suitable clean filtered air supply is required between 5 to 7 bar for operation of the recovered oil dump
valves. If unsure - check on valve for correct air pressure required.

5.13 Capacitance Oil Probe Settings & Operation

Remove the probe cover and check that the jumper switch positions are correctly set as follows:-

Model Timer Settings

CS250, CS500 60 Sec
CS1000 60 sec
CS2000, CS3000 30 sec
CS4000, CS5000 15 sec

During separation the majority of the oil separated from the oily water will collect at the top of the first stage
vessel. When the depth of oil (oil/water interface) reaches the control probe the oil valve will open and
recovered oil will be discharged to oil dump storage.

The duration of the oil discharge is controlled by an adjustable, preset, time delay relay which allows the oil
valve to remain open for several seconds after the probe has again detected water. This cycle will repeat each
time the oil/water interface reaches the probe. Only a small amount of oil passes to and is recovered in the
second stage coalescer and this is discharged through the second stage oil water discharge valve.

Note: The probe is factory calibrated and should not require any alteration to provide efficient operation.
However if the probe fails to operate correctly during the commissioning of the unit, refer to the fault finding
procedures in this manual. There are no replaceable and serviceable parts in this unit.

Issue 9 © Victor Marine Limited Page 12

5.14 Valve and Pressure Settings

Ensure the following valves are in the closed.

Position:
1. Drain valves on all vessels.
2. Bilge oily water feed valve.
3. Over board discharge valve (in normally closed position)
4. Oil test cock [SP1] & [SP2]
5. Oil Dump Valve

Ensure the following valves are in the open.

Position:
1. Clean water inlet valve open
2. Return to Bilge Service Valve

5.15 Priming of Separator Unit

Prime the pump with a connection as shown, with clean seawater. Check pump for rotation.

5.16 Prior Normal Start-Up

The system must now be started up using the clean seawater suction into the separator feed pump. It is
essential that the system is initially filled with clean water. If the bilge’s oily water is used, this would
contaminate the clean areas of the system before separation takes place.

When the system is filled with clean fresh water or seawater, the AGMF will be activated and ready to use.

CHECK THAT SYSTEM IS FILLED CORRECTLY – sampling valve in the second vessel, if opened and water is
running out then the two stages is filled. Remember to close the valves afterwards.

Ensure the water valve is set-up correctly and that the system is ‘pre-set’ to operate at 20psi (1.35bar), see
Section [7.5] to reset this.

IMPORTANT

It is essential that the vessels are initially filled with clean, fresh water or clean sea water. If suction is taken
from the bilges/holding tank, it is likely that oily water will contaminate the clean areas of the system.

5.17 Diverter Set & Oil Content Monitor

Check operation of diverter set. Check the piping is exactly as shown in Process Flow Diagram before turning
the separator on. If this is incorrectly piped the oil content monitor will show alarm status. Check the monitor
has power and turn on. Check plunger is in upright position and ensure there is clear water in the sample cell.

Close the Clean Water Inlet to the pump and open the Bilge Oily Water Inlet Valve.

System is now ready for operation

6. Operating & Periodic Maintenance

6.1 At Start up of System

With the separator running check the separator operating pressure which in normal operation is about 20psi
(1.38bar) preset via the water valve. When pressure exceeds ~40psi (2.81bar) replace coalescer cartridge and
media in the second stage. Refer to instructions in part [7.2]

6.2 Weekly Maintenance

Check operation of first stage oil discharge valve, by pressing the manual relay test (override) button in the oil
discharge control probe head. If valve fails to operate correctly, overhaul valve and/or check the probe
operation as instructions provided in the fault-finding section in this manual.

Check the gland packing stuffing box on the separator feed pump and adjust as necessary to avoid air priming.
Gland packing should be replaced when stuffing box contacts the gland housing. Refer to pump manual for full
instructions.

6.3 Six Month Maintenance

With separator operating - check operation of the pressure relief valve, by partially closing the overboard
discharge line and reset to 50 psi (3.45 bar) if necessary. Clean the air eliminator.

6.4 Annually
Drain both separator stages and remove top covers and all valves etc. Thoroughly wash through the separator
vessels using hot water and clean all valves. Reassemble, then using new second stage coalescer cartridge(s)
and joints test and reset if required pressure relief/water valve as previously indicated.

6.5 Three to Five Years (Full Service)

All of the above but additionally remove first stage coalescer pack and replace with new. Inspect vessel interior
coating and pump for corrosion etc.

We would recommend full service and re-commission by one of our qualified service engineers.

We offer a worldwide service. Please contact our office or one of our agents for a quote.

7. Maintenance & Servicing

7.1 Assembly Drawing of First Stage

Maintenance of the first stage Hi-VOR vessel should be infrequent and assumed on an annual basis, during a
full service period.

Allow separator to run on clean seawater

/ fresh water for 10 minutes to flush pipe
work. Push the ‘test’ button in the oil
capacitance probe untill no oil is seen (if
not visible, dump for 30 seconds). This will
remove the excess oil still within the
system.

TURN OFF SYSTEM and ISOLATE

Drain the vessel level via the bottom drain

valve till the oil/water stops running out
of the Hi-VOR test cock. Close the valve.

Open the top vessel by removing all the

bolts on the lid. Remove excess layer of oil
on top of system to reveal the Hi-VOR
unit. Drain the system completely via the
drain valve.

Note probe wiring and remove the

capacitance probe by first removing the
electrical leads from the probe head.
Unscrew the probe from socket and
withdraw probe to allow full retrieval of
the Hi-VOR cone.

Remove the Hi-VOR cone out of the

system by pulling. Remove the coalescing
pack and thoroughly clean all the
internals.

Replace with new coalescing pack and

clean the Hi-VOR plate before inserting
back into position. Clean the probe shaft
and replace into socket.

Using new gaskets if required replace on

the top cover and secure the cover with
bolts. Reattach electrical leads into the
capacitance probe.

Ensure the system is primed and water

filled before resuming operation again.

7.2 Assembly Drawing of Second Stage

(50mm)

(50mm)

When pressure within the first stage vessel exceeds 42psi (~3bar) the coalescer cartridge in the second stage
vessel is blocked so will replacing. When the second gauge reaches 30psi (~2bar) the media (AGM) is saturated
in oils to and should be replaced as follows. The pressure relief valve will release at 50psi (3.45bar), thus it is
important to replace the items before this pressure.

Issue 9 © Victor Marine Limited Page 16

The coalescer is replaced as follows:-

7.2.1 Changing Coalescer(s): -

Do not drain the vessel fully. Empty to just below

A
the bottom of the coalescer cartridge(s).

Open the sample valve on the second stage and

B lower the liquid level a little. Close the valve.
Remove the top cover.
Coalescers Removed

Open the bottom drain valve and lower the liquid

C level just below the bottom of coalescer cartridge(s).
Close the valve.

Unscrew the dome nut at the end of the coalescer

cartridge(s); remove washer and end plate. Pull back
D the coalescer and unscrew the draw-bolt. Lift out
spent cartridge. Remove any oil on the liquid surface
before fitting the new coalescer(s). Installing Coalescer(s)

Note: when fitting coalescer(s) cut the bottom of the

bag that they come in and leave the bag around the
E middle of the coalescer so that you do not touch the
surface of the coalescer as this shortens their
longevity.

Fit the new coalescer(s), draw-bolt, making sure that

it is located over the spigot. Replace the end plate,
F new nylon washer supplied with new coalescer(s)
and dome nut. Tighten dome nut to 7 lbs.ft (9.5Nm)
torque. Replace the top cover. Anode end-plate and draw-bolt

The need for these operations and their frequency is entirely dependent upon the maintained condition and
the solids loading of the bilges.

Important: Do not empty the second stage vessel, as clean areas of the internals will be contaminated with oil.
These will need to be thoroughly cleaned before the unit can be operated effectively.

Issue 9 © Victor Marine Limited Page 17

When the media (AGM) has absorbed oils to saturation then it has to be replaced as follows:-

7.2.2 Changing Advance Granular Media: -

Fully drain down second stage.

7.3 Bilge Pump

7.3.1 General*
The bilge pump is an integral part of the separator and should come mounted and pre-wired on arrival.
Normally the bilge pump would be installed with a direct on-line starter to ensure maximum start torque. The
motor would have been checked for rotation during factory assembly and wiring. When placing the separator
ensure the bilge pump has aqueduct ventilation, space and lighting to ensure effective maintenance and
operation. Suitable arrangement must also be available for gland draining and dismantling. The bilge pump is
designed only to handle oil and water.

7.3.2 Handling
The bilge pump if dismantled should be handled with due care. For lifting and assembling, use suitable lifting
tackle and slings, if the pump or any of its components weigh more than 20 kg. The position of slings will
depend on specific pump model and mounted accessories. If eyebolts are provided, they should be used for
lifting.

7.3.3 Safety
In the interest of safety of personnel and in compliance with statutory requirement of various countries, the
pump pulleys and couplings must be enclosed with proper guards. The surface temperature of the pump
depends upon factors like ambient temperature and temperature of the fluid being pumped. If the external
pump surface temperature goes above 50°C, personnel must be made aware of this and suitable warnings must
be issued or guarding must be employed. Experienced personnel should carry maintenance, servicing and gland
adjustments, so that safety of the personnel is not endangered.

7.3.4 Gland Packing

The pump is normally fitted with gland packing, which, if required can be used for final adjustment during initial
running period. Under normal working conditions the gland rings are to be tightened in a manner to permit a
slight drip from the gland. This enhances life of the shaft as well as of gland packing. It is important to note that
the gland packing should never be over tightened to arrest the leakage completely. This can lead to excessive
heat generation that can cause permanent damage to shaft and packing. Adjustment by tightening should only
be made when the pump is running. Indication of slight drip from the gland packing will only be evident if the
pump is running delivery on gland or with suction on gland with a flooded suction. The gland packing should be
inspected every day after starting the pump. Remove the gland guards to check the leakage. If the sealing is not
proper, tightening or loosening of gland nuts to attain the preferred level of sealing must adjust it.

7.3.5 Rotor and Stator

NEVER RUN THE PUMP IN A DRY CONDITION EVEN FOR A FEW REVOLUTIONS
OTHERWISE THE STATOR & ROTOR WILL BE DAMAGED IMMEDIATELY.

The wear rate of these components depends on many factors, such as product abrasiveness, speed, pressure
etc. One or possibly both items will need to be replaced when the pump performance has reduced to an
unacceptable level.

*Note: For more information Victor Marine may supply a separate pump manual for the service and operation
of the pump supplied with the separator.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS
DO’S
1. When re-starting after a prolonged stoppage, always fill the pump with fluid and give a few turns to
provide necessary lubrication.
2. Always check that the pressure relief device is operating for safety.
3. Use only direct on-line starters or starter’s provided by Victor Marine for meeting starting torque
requirement of pump.
4. Always uncouple pump while motor is being wired and checked for rotation to prevent dry running of
pump.
5. Always use genuine Victor Marine spares for sustained pump performance and longer life of critical parts.
Request spare’s list from manufacturer or agent.
6. Always consult Victor Marine in case of any change in operating parameters, like temperature, viscosity,
percentage of solids, liquid composition etc.
DON’TS
1. Never run the pump in a dry condition even for a few revolutions otherwise the rotor will damage the
stator immediately and will require replacement.
2. Never run the pump against a closed inlet or outlet valve.
3. Never use foot valve for slurry applications.
4. Never vary flow rate by throttling suction and delivery line.
5. Never exceed recommended pump speed or change the motor provided.
6. Never reverse the recommended direction of rotation of pump.

7.4 Oil Discharge Valve(s)

The valve and its components are shown below:

NOTE: Disassembly of the dump valve can cause injury. ONLY undo head section of valve with compressed air
present and valve in the open position.

The oil dump valve is fully assembled into the system on arrival. To maintain ensure that the system is off and
pump is not running. To test the oil dump valve, use the ‘test’ button housed inside the oil capacitance probe.

Pneumatic seat and pinch valves are to be operated by the signals from the control panel. An air inlet of the
recommended pressure; see data sheet is required.

Operation simply requires normal manual force. The use of extensions to increase the operating torque is not
permitted.

The valves do not require regular maintenance work. During checks on the pipeline section, no leakage must be
found in a valve. If this occurs please contact the manufacturer for further instructions or replacement.

It is recommended that valves that remain in the same position over long periods should be switched to the
"ON" and "OFF" positions one or two times per year. To operate this use the ‘test’ button on the oil capacitance
probe.

If valve remains open when the solenoid coil is de-energized:

1. Check that the manual operation lever on the side of the air valve is in the correct position and not in
the override position.
2. Check the air supply to the valve is correct.

Issue 9 © Victor Marine Limited Page 21

7.5 Water Valve

The seal on the water valve when closed is provided by an “O” ring located on the underside of the valve
piston, both of which are replaceable. The piston is held in position by a compression spring tensioned by an
adjusting screw.

To replace the valve internals remove the valve bonnet. The piston “O” ring, piston or spring etc. may then be
removed and replaced.

The valve is pre-set to open at 20psi (1.38 bar). If this is in doubt or if the valve has been removed from the
separator for overhaul, the valve should be reset as follows:

To set the water valve: Start the separator feed pump and deliver clean water to the system. Screw down the
pressure adjusting screw until the pressure gauge on the first stage vessel shows 20psi (1.38bar) – lock the
compression screw and replace the leak proof dome.

 7.6 Capacitance Oil Detection Probe – CP4-R2

The probe is adjusted to a ‘water finding’ state and when in water the relay in the probe head is energized.
When immersed in oil the probe switches, the relay de-energizes; the oil valve solenoid energizes causing the
oil discharge valve to open. The ‘set point’ trimmer is adjusted clockwise to see water and anti-clockwise to see
oil.

With the probe in water and the power on, the relay should be switched and the LED should be illuminated. If
this is not so the set point trimmer in the probe head should be adjusted slowly clockwise until the LED is
illuminated.

Note: Switching of the probe from oil discharge to water discharge is delayed by the timer for instant operation
make a note of the timer settings and set jumper into 0 seconds. Ensure power is off when changing jumpers.

Assuming that the controls are switched on, the probe is in oil (test at the sampling valve) and the solenoid
operated oil discharge valve fails to open:

1. Slowly turn the set point trimmer anti-clockwise until the probe relay switches. If the relay switches
and the valve remains closed, check with a meter, the solenoid coil. Replace if defective.
2. If relay fails to switch in the foregoing test, check the appropriate terminal out-put with a test meter in
the probe head, replace if defective and re-trim the probe.
3. The override relay test button can be used when the capacitance circuitry is not working. Pressing the
button will open the oil discharge valve.
4. If this fails to switch the relay/valve fails to open after all the previous noted checks then there is a
failure in the probe circuitry and a new PCB internals must be fitted.

As noted on the previous page the probe is factory set and should not require any alteration other than the
minor corrections to the set point as indicated in the above checks. If any damage occurs to the capacitance
probe, order a replacement from the manufacturer.

OVERBOARD

NOTE: Disassembly of the diverter valve can cause injury. ONLY undo head section of valve with compressed air
present and valve in the open position.

The diverter valve is fully assembled into the system on arrival. On initial power up, the solenoid valve will self
check by opening and closing once. This will indicate that the valve is operating correctly.

To maintain the valve, ensure that the system is off and pump is not running. To test the three-way diverter
valve, use the oil content monitor (Bilge Alarm). If monitor is in the alarm state the valve should be in the
closed position (fig 1). If the monitor is in non active state, the valve should be in the open position (fig 2).

An air inlet of the recommended pressure is required, see data sheet provided.

The valves do not require regular maintenance work. During checks on the pipeline section, no leakage must be
found in a valve. If this occurs please contact the manufacturer for further instructions or replacement.

It is recommended that valves which remain in the same position over long periods should be switched to the
"ON" and "OFF" positions one or two times per year. To achieve this, use the oil content monitor by activating
the alarm on/off status (OFF is sample water below 15ppm and ON is sample water above 15ppm).

If valve remains open when the solenoid coil is de-energized:

1. Check that the manual operation lever on the side of the air valve is in the correct position and not in
the override position.
2. Check the air supply to the valve is correct.

7.8 Smart Cell Bilge Monitor

The CS Series is normally provided with an oil content monitoring device and three-way diverter valve set. The
unit will already been prewired and test upon dispatch. Please revert back to our supplier’s manual for further
information and certification.

7.8.1 Test Procedure

We have noted that occasionally a shipboard surveyor will require demonstration of the operation on the bilge
alarm system. The following test has been devised to demonstrate this to a surveyor witness how a SMART-Cell
monitor be tested without chemicals and causing a ‘cell-breach’ status.

Smart Bilge Test Procedure – for Surveyor Witness

The following procedure is to be adopted to test the Smart Cell Bilge Monitor.

1. Press and hold the ‘Manual Clean’ in the down position.

2. Confirm that both alarms are activated.
3. A plunger down error will be displayed.
4. Release the ‘Manual Clean’.
5. The ppm figure on the LCD display will decrement from 40 towards zero.

This assumes that there is water flowing through the measuring cell.

NOTE: The ‘Manual Clean’ should not be removed with the power applied to the monitor –
a CELL BREACH error will be displayed on the LCD screen that will render the monitor inoperable.

This will require the unit to be returned back to manufacturer for resetting!

8. Optional Items

8.1 Heater (Optional Item)

A heater can be fitted to the first stage of the separator. It is recommended if the vessel is running on heavy
fuel oil or in cold ambient temperatures. All heaters supplied are fitted with a thermostat. 1kW or 2kW rating
available. External power supply required, 215/415V, single or three phase, 50-60Hz.

8.2 Pre-Strainer (Optional Item)

A pre-strainer to the pump can be provided to stop large solids from entering the separation system. It is a
recommended addition to the process as a strainer will help improve separation performance and extends the
life of the consumable items in the system.

8.3 Dry Running Protection (Optional Item)

A dry running protection sensor can be provided with the unit. This helps prevent the pump from running ‘dry’
causing damage to the stator (which in turn makes the OWS lose suction). A thermostat is fitted into the pump
and a relay trip will cause the unit to stop if over-temperature is reached.
