MAPX 309 is a high-performance disc-stack Alfa Laval Centrifugal Oil Separator designed to efficiently remove water, sludge, and solid impurities from various types of oil, including fuel oil, lubricant oil, and hydraulic oil.
It operates on a centrifugal principle, where heavier particles and water are pushed outward at high rotational speeds, leaving the cleaned oil near the centre of discharge.
MAPX 309 Alfa Laval Separator is commonly used in demanding industrial and marine environments to ensure consistent oil purity, reduce maintenance downtime, and extend the service life of critical machinery.
The unit can perform partial or total sludge discharge, depending on the configuration, and can be paired with control systems to operate automatically. Its compact design, durable stainless-steel construction, and ability to handle continuous operations make it suitable for both onboard ship installations and land-based systems.
Key Features of MAPX 309
- Compact design: Built from stainless steel to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.
- High bowl speed: MAPX 309 can process up to 9,000 LPH and offers high processing capacity, making it effective for industrial applications with large volumes.
- Low-maintenance requirement: Easy to dismantle, clean, and reassemble for servicing.
- Self-cleaning design: This centrifuge automatically removes solids and water.
MAPX 309 Application
- Marine: Used for purifying marine lubricant oil by removing water, sludge, and fine impurities to maintain engine impurities.
- Powerplant Operation: Used to clean turbine and generator oils to ensure power equipment runs smoothly and reliably.
- Fuel oil treatment: Used to clean heavy fuel oils before combustion to protect injectors and enhance fuel system performance.
- Biodiesel and Vegetable Oil Processing: Used to remove solids and water from biodiesel or vegetable oils during refining applications to clarify them.
