New EU-certified bilge treatment systems

The BMS series bilgewater oil/water separators employ technologies including a proprietary membrane assembly for removal of emulsified oil. This, says the company, produces an effluent with oil content not exceeding 5 ppm, meeting IMO MEPC 107(49) regulations. The BAS Series oil/water separators use a simpler organic clay adsorption technology, also designed to meet the IMO MEPC 107(49) regulations.

Features of the BMS series include a three-stage system to optimise the separation and removal of free and emulsified oils, heavy duty construction, corrosion resistant materials, permanent oil attractant media, quiet operation, IMO compliant detection controls, and automatic diversion valves.

“Both systems meet the tough requirements set by the International Maritime Organization that were adopted to reduce the oil that is discharged from vessels and now with the Wheelmark approval, we can help vessel owners in Europe” according to Kelly Sullivan, Racor Village Marine business unit manager; “the units we developed exceed the IMO requirements while also being compact, efficient, durable, and a great value”.
