Oily waste treatment
Maximize environmental protection, be compliant and reclaim fuel losses with Alfa Laval oily waste treatment solutions like oily water separation (OWS), which effectively separate water, oil and solids from sludge. Alfa Laval's integrated sludge and bilge water treatment solutions dry up oily waste streams on ships – whether they're from fuel or bilge water.
Maximize environmental protection and reclaim fuel losses with Alfa Laval oily waste treatment solutions
- PureBilge and PureDry reduces the sludge volume significantly in a safe manner
- Oily water can be cleaned to less than 15 ppm
- Filter and chemical free owing to unique centrifugal separation solution
- Fuel in the sludge can be recycled for main engine and/or other usage
Alfa Laval's oily waste treatment solutions:
- Effectively remove pollutant and make oily waste clean for discharge overboard or re-generate as the fuel oil
- Allows for cost-effective operation
- Reduce environmental impact
Real life experience
Replacing static OWS with Alfa Laval PureBilge Compact put an end to costly frustration
Tired of high filter costs and monitoring bilge water treatment? So was this European shipper – until Alfa Laval PureBilge Compact changed everything. Learn how centrifugal separation put an end to frustration with static, coalescer type oily water separation (OWS) systems.
Alfa Laval recovers all reusable oil from oily wastewater and cuts waste disposal costs
When Atlantic Islands Electricity (AIE), a privately owned power station located on Madeira Island, needed new, more sustainable ways to optimize performance, the company turned to its current fuel-conditioning equipment supplier, Alfa Laval, for answers. With the combination of an Alfa Laval PureDry waste fuel recovery system and an Alfa Laval PureBilge oily water cleaning system, AIE now turns 45 tons of oily waste per month into 30 tons of cleaned water that can be released directly into the ocean and recovers 15 tons of usable fuel from oily waste.

Bilge water compliance issues
Persistent failures in oily water separator (OWS) systems – often linked to tampering and underinvestment in maintenance – signal deeper breakdowns in maritime compliance. This white paper examines why conventional bilge water treatment technologies fall short and how Alfa Laval PureBilge, with its high-speed centrifugal separation, offers a robust alternative proven to meet regulatory demands under real-life conditions.
