Alfa Laval P Separators

What is an Alfa Laval P Separator?

The Alfa Laval P-Series Separator is a high-performance centrifugal separation system designed to purify fuel and lubricating oils in marine and industrial applications. Using advanced P-Flex technology, it effectively removes water, sludge, and solid contaminants from oils, maintaining stable properties.

Unlike fully automated systems, the P-Series operates as a manual purifier or clarifier, using a gravity disc to maintain the oil/water interface. This makes it the industry standard for operators seeking mechanical simplicity, proven reliability, and cost-effective operation in environments where oil density remains consistent.

Alfa Laval P Separator vs. Alfa Laval S Separator

While both systems offer industry-leading purification, the choice depends on your specific process challenges.

Feature	P-Series Separators	S-Series Separators
Separation Tech	Gravity Disc (Manual)	ALCAP™ (Automatic)
Adjustment	Physical disc selection	Real-time electronic self-adjustment
Fuel Suitability	Stable, well-defined fuel batches	Variable, high-density, or modern fuels
Density Limit	Up to 991 kg/m³	Up to 1,010 kg/m³
Operational Mode	Manual Purifier or Clarifier	Fully Automated “Set & Forget”
Best For	Consistent routes & Lube Oil	Changing bunker sources & VLSFO

Pro Tip: Pick the P-Series for high performance with oils that present fewer process challenges. Choose the S-Series for maximum protection and fuel economy when dealing with fluctuating oil quality.

Reliable Separation Across Every Niche

The Alfa Laval P-Series is a versatile workhorse engineered for diverse industrial and maritime sectors:

• Marine Engine Rooms: Protecting main and auxiliary engines by purifying HFO (up to 991 kg/m³), MDO, and Lubricating oils.
• Power Generation: Ensuring contaminant-free fuel for stationary power plants using residual and distillate oils.
• Industrial Lubrication: Extending the lifecycle of oils in manufacturing and large-scale diesel installations.
• Sustainable Energy: Offering the precise manual fine-tuning required for the consistent purity of Biofuels.

Advanced Engineering for Operational Uptime

• EPC 60 Process Controller: A significant modernisation over legacy EPC 41 systems, offering intuitive monitoring and simplified operation.
• CentriLock & CentriShoot: Patented safety and discharge technologies that minimise maintenance downtime and maximise crew safety.
• Compact P-Flex Design: Exceptional separation efficiency within a small footprint—perfect for space-constrained retrofits.
• Minimised Oil Loss: Precision bowl dynamics ensure a high separation surface area with minimal sludge discharge.
