    Working Principle of Purifier and Clarifier

    Uploaded by

    Both purifiers and clarifiers use centrifugal force to separate heavier impurities like water and solids from lighter fuel components. They work by spinning a centrifuge bowl at high speeds, forcing the heavier particles outward. Purifiers provide a three-phase separation of oil, water, and sludge, while clarifiers separate finer solids but still extract small amounts of water. The key difference is that purifiers require sealing water to prevent oil from flowing out with the separated water, while clarifiers do not need sealing water.

    Working Principle

    of Purifier and
    Clarifier
    Both Purifier and Clarifier works on the same principles that
    by subjecting the fuel to a constant force, the denser
    components of the fuel i.e water and solid impurities will be
    separated from the lighter components which is the fuel itself.
    Through a system of gears, a centrifuge bowl
    is rotated at high speeds. Oil to be purified is
    allowed to enter the bowl while it is rotating.
    The heavier components in the oil are thus
    forced outwards. The solid particles that are
    too fine to be removed by filtration are forced
    towards the circumference of the bowl.
    Purifier
    • Well, purifier operation involves three-
    phase separation of oil water and sludge.
    • Considering that purifiers have a
    discharge outlet allowing the continuous
    discharge of separated water prior to
    passing oil through the purifier, sealing
    water must be provided to ensure that oil
    does not flow out to the separated water
    outlet.
    • Then, the separation boundary surface or
    the interface must be set in a reasonable
    range to ensure proper operation. This is
    achieved by changing the internal
    diameter of the gravity disc.
    • The purification starts when oil enters into
    the oil inlet and is introduced into the disc
    stacks via the distributor.
    • Then, the separated water and sludge in the
    oil are forced to the periphery of the bowl.
    • The purified oil then moves inside between
    the discs and is discharged from the light
    liquid impeller, and at the same time, the
    separated water passing outside of the top
    disc overflows from the gravity disc it is
    discharged from the heavy liquid impeller.
    • Sludge and separated water are then
    discharged from the outlet to complete the
    cycle
    Clarifier
    • Similar to the purifier, clarifier also uses
    centrifugal separation to remove
    impurities on the oil, however, it does not
    require sealing water on the system to
    separate the oil from the impurities.
    • Note that a clarifier’s objective only is to
    separate the finer solids in the oil, but,
    during the process, solid particles and
    small mixtures of water are still extracted
    in the clarifier.
    • The accumulation of the impurities in the
    periphery of the bowl are later discharge
    either manually or automatically.
    PURIFIER or CLARIFIER?
    Why do we purify
    different oils on-board
    ships?
    • Fuels supplied to a ship must be treated on board
    before use in order to remove solid as well as
    liquid contaminants.
    • The separation of impurities and water from fuel
    oil is essential for good combustion.
    • The removal of contaminating impurities from oil
    (lubricating oil) will reduce engine wear and
    possible breakdowns.
    Inefficient separation of Oil and impurities
    in the Separator might lead to…
    Water
    mixture in
    the Fuel
    CORROSION
    Microbial
    Manifestation and
    Excessive Sludge
    Formation
    Cavitation and
    Abrasion
    Pollution
