  • Biofuel ready – compatible with HVO (EN15940) and with FAME (EN14214 or ASTM D6751) blends comprising distillate

The Alfa Laval MAB separator helps prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime on equipment that uses fuel or lubricating oils. This flexible separator is suitable for all marine installations and power stations. Use it as a purifier or clarifier, ensuring reliable equipment operation for longer.

What makes them biofuel ready

.

How it works

Separation takes place in a solids-retaining bowl arranged for either clarification or purification. In both cases, contaminated oil is fed through the centre, and centrifugal force separates it into phases. The sludge is forced outwards so it's easy to remove. A liquid seal in the bowl prevents oil from escaping through the water outlet.

Clarification

MAB bowl arranged as a clairifier for seperating oils containing sludge and very small quantity of water.

  2. Distributor
  3. Bowl disc
  4. Clean oil outlet 

Purification
