Westfalia BWS

In normal operation the Westfalia bilge water separator feedpump suction is on the oily bilge tank(15C). There is the possibility to get suction from the 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd stage of 15C. The Westfalia can be used in tank cleaning mode(recirculation over 15C) and the so called overboard mode(from 15C to 15PS). The recirculation water always goes back to the 1^st stage.

STARTING the Westfalia bilge water separator

·         Check if correct suction valve of 15C is open(1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd stage)

·         Check if the suction valve from 15C to the bilge water separators is open

·         Check if the suction valve in front of the suction filter is open

·         Check if the main suction valve in front of the Westfalia feedpump is open

·         Check if the technical water supply valve to the Westfalia is open

·         Check if the technical water supply to the OCM is open

·         Check if the air supply valve is open

·         Check if the sample water cooler cooling water valves are open

·         Check if the return valve to 15C is open

·         Check if the inlet valve of 15PS is open

·         Start the feed pump by pressing: FEED PUMP START

·         When the feedpump is running SLOWLY open up the main steam valve.

·         Start the Westfalia separator by pressing: SEPARATOR START

Now wait until the feed water temperature is > 75°C and the Westfalia separator has reached the correct RPM’s. If this is the case the display will indicate READY.

·         Press PROGRAM 1.

·         Press the TANK CLEANING YES/NO button if you want to recirculate over 15C or;

·         Press the OVERBOARD YES/NO button if you want to process 15C to 15PS via the OCM.

In order to recirculate over intermediate bilge water tank 15PS(tank cleaning) manifold valves ① and ⑨ have to be changed over and the purifier has to be in tank cleaning mode.

When you want to recirculate over 15PS check if the correct inlet valve of 15PS is open.

NOTE: In tank cleaning mode the Westfalia OCM is not in operation. There is no sample water going trough the OCM. The OCM is only in operation in the so called overboard mode.

NOTE: The feed pump can be selected manual or automatic. The automatic mode can only be used in the so called overboard mode. In tank cleaning mode the automatic function is not operational(Selector switch: FC FEED PUMP - options: A or M)

STOPPING the Westfalia bilge water separator

·         Press the OVERBOARD YES/NO button to select NO.

·         Press PROGRAM 0, the Westfalia will discharge.

·         After the discharge stop the Westfalia separator by pressing: SEPARATOR STOP

·         Close the manual steam valve

·         Wait until the temperature has dropped below 45°C

·         Stop the feed pump by pressing: FEED PUMP STOP

·         Close the main suction valve before the feedpump

·         Close the technical water supply valve to the Westfalia

·         Close the air supply valve

·         Close the sample water cooler cooling water valves

·         Flush the OCM with technical water for at least 30 seconds.
