INSTALLATION

5 VMT - v. JUNE 2005

2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 LOCATION FOR OWS

Village Marine Tec. recommends installing the OWS unit in the ship, as low as possible. To minimize the amount of external piping, the OWS should be installed as close to the ship’s Oily Waste Holding Tank and overboard discharge connection.

Figure 1: Recommended Installation Location

The unit must be mounted no higher than 20 ft above the bilge water intake. If there are any questions about the installation, please contact VMT for technical assistance.

2.2 TO INSTALL THE OWS

Every installation is unique, the mounting instructions are provided for guidance only. It is recommended that you use your own discretion as to the exact method of mounting and placement of any mounting bolt holes.

Step 1: Place the OWS unit in an appropriate location and drill a minimum of four (4) holes, one through each of the four stanchion bottom support plate. When drilling holes always check to make sure that the drill bit will not pass through to any component of the separator or cause any other kind of damage to the mounting area. Mount the OWS unit securely making sure that the four base stanchions are continuously supported.

Step 2: Refer to the system drawings in Section 9.0: DRAWINGS AND DIAGRAMS for the connection

requirements. Make the following plumbing connections to the pipping interfaces: A FOOT VALVE AND STRAINER MUST BE INSTALLED BY THE CONSUMER TO PREVENT FOREIGN MATERIAL OBSTRUCTING AND CLOGGING THE OWS. FAILURE TO INSTALL A FOOT VALVE WITH A SUITABLE STRAINER MAY VOID THE OWS SYSTEM WARRANTY. Connect the oily water inlet line to the check valve located on the left side of the unit when facing control panel (see Table 1.4 for raw water utility requirements). The inlet piping should at least equal in size to the inlet connection size. A foot valve and strainer must be installed at the end of the inlet piping where it takes suction from the bilge. INLET AND DISCHARGE INTERCONNECTING LINES SHOULD CONSTRUCTED OF SUITABLE MATERIAL. PLASTIC MATERIALS SUCH AS PVC MAY NOT BE SUITABLE DUE TO THEIR INCOMPATIBILITY WITH CERTAIN FUELS AND OILS.

NOTE: Verify all piping connections are airtight. Excessive air in solution with the clean water effluent results in erroneous high oil content readings.

WATERLINEWATERLINE

Page 12: OILY WATER SEPARATOR OWS 2.2-11 GPM

INSTALLATION

6 VMT - v. JUNE 2005

A) Connect the clean water discharge to an unobstructed suitably sized line that is also connected to an appropriate drain. The clean water discharge connection is ¾” FNPT and is located at the pump discharge connection on the left side of the OWS (when facing the control panel). If the clean water is discharged overboard, ensure the discharge port is above the waterline. If the clean water must be discharged below the water line please contact VMT technical department for installation advice.

B) Connect the oil discharge to an unobstructed ¾” line that is connected to the top of the oily waste

storage tank. The oil discharge connection is ¾" FNPT and is located on the back side of the unit (when facing the control panel) near the top.

C) Connect a flush/fresh water source to the ¾" flush water supply line. This connection is ¾" FNPT is

connected at the Fresh Water Solenoid Valve. DO NOT CONNECT THE SYSTEM DRAIN LINE TO THE CLEAN WATER EFFLUENT PIPING AS WATER DRAINED FROM THE SEPARATOR MAY HAVE RESIDUAL OIL LEVELS GREATER THAN 15 PPM.

2.3 TO CONNECT THE ELECTRICAL

TURN OFF ALL ELECTRICAL POWER FOR USE WITH THE RO UNIT PRIOR TO CONNECTING TO THE RO POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONS HANDLING THE UNIT.

NOTE: Adhere to all electrical codes and regulations governing the installation and wiring of electrical

equipment. Typical codes specify the type and size of conduit, wire diameter, and class or wire insulation depending upon the amperage and environment.

NOTE: The power supply should always be of greater service rating than the requirements of the RO

unit. This will assure proper voltage even if power supply voltage is slightly less than required. Never connect the RO unit to a line that services another electrical device. THE RO UNIT SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY.

Step 1: Connect the correct voltage/power supply to the power cord provided. Step 2: Connect a suitable ground to the OWS unit skid (as determined by the specifics of your installation).

GENERAL THEORY

7 VMT - v. JUNE 2005

3.0 GENERAL THEORY OF OPERATION

3.1 THEORY OF OPERATION Oil and water does not mix easily. Given enough time to elapse, a static mixture of oil and water will almost separate on its own. There are special polymers that have strong affinities for oil. The design and construction of your VMT OWS takes maximum advantage of both of these principles in order to reduce effluent oil concentrations to less than 15 part per million (ppm). To minimize oily water agitation, the system pump is placed on the discharge side of the unit. Minimizing agitation on the inlet stream reduces emulsified oil (i.e. suspended in solution) amounts, increasing the overall efficiency of the separation process. Upon entering the separator, the oily water enters a large diameter first-pass chamber, reducing its stream velocity. Decelerating the oily water stream is critical, it maximizes amount of time for gravity separation to take place. The slower the stream velocity, the longer the oily water will be in contact with the polymer filtration media. The first-pass chamber is filled with specially designed polymer rings that have a high surface area to weight ratio. As the oily water flows along the surface of the polymer rings, small droplets will adhere to its surface. When enough has collected, the oil droplet's natural buoyancy will cause it to release and float to the separator top. When enough oil collects at the top, the unit automatically backflushes the accumulated oil out of the unit and into a waste holding tank. Prior to exiting the separator, the reduced concentration oily water mixture passes through a second-pass polishing chamber. This chamber is completely filled with tightly packed polymer beads that are designed to remove any remaining oil from the effluent stream. This design ensures the effluent discharge is at or less than 15 ppm oil by weight.

3.2 OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION – SEPARATOR SECTION The oily water sucked out of the bilge through a Purchaser supplied foot valve. This valve strains out large particles and objects accumulated in the bilge. The oily water stream then flows through a check valve (see Section 3.3: OIL DISCHARGE MODE) and into the separator. Upon reducing the oily water stream velocity, it enters the first-pass chamber taking up approximately ½ of the total volume of the separator. The chamber is capped with a removable metal retaining screen that is designed to contain the polymer separation media. It is in this chamber that the bulk of the oil separation takes place. After flowing vertically down through the first pass chamber, the oily water stream passes through a second retaining screen into the second-pass chamber. This chamber contains tiny polymer beads designed to remove any oil residual oil from the water stream.

Figure 2: System Diagram

Page 14: OILY WATER SEPARATOR OWS 2.2-11 GPM

GENERAL THEORY

8 VMT - v. JUNE 2005

3.3 OIL DISCHARGE MODE When enough oil collects at the top of the separator, a liquid level monitoring assembly automatically reconfigures the system and begins discharging oil to the ship supplied Oily Waste Holding Tank. The actual process is as follows: The oil discharge process is initiated when enough oil has accumulated to cover the entire length of the longest of the three level probes. A signal is sent to secure the system pump, shut the clean water discharge valve and open the fresh water valve. Fresh water then flows into the unit through the bottom and forces the oil out through the oil discharge piping. When sufficient oil has been discharged to enable the water to contact the shortest liquid probes, the automatic flush mode secures and the system returns to its normal configuration

3.4 CONTROL PANEL The OWS is equipped with a centralized control panel for monitoring of all important unit functions and operating parameters. The specific control switches and status (indicating) lights utilized are as follows: CONTROL SWITCHES (1) ON/OFF CONTROL SWITCH

Controls the operation (ON/OFF) of the entire system. Placing the switch in the "OFF" position prevents all operation of the system regardless of the position of the Flush switch.

(2) MODE CONTROL SWITCH Three position switch that controls activation of the Oil Discharge mode

(3) MANUAL

immediately reconfigures system and activates a system flush regardless of oil level. Unit will continue to flush until Flush switch is placed in either "Off" or "Auto" positions.

(4) OFF Deactivates oil discharge capability

(5) AUTO Reconfigures system and activates a system flush whenever the liquid level indicator detects a high oil level. After a fixed amount of oil is discharged, automatically reconfigures the system for normal operations.

STATUS (INDICATING LIGHTS) (6) CLEAN WATER DISCHARGE LIGHT

GREEN light illuminates whenever the unit is operating in its normal mode and is discharging clean effluent.

(7) OIL DISCHARGE LIGHT

AMBER light illuminates whenever the unit is operating in the Oil Discharge mode and is discharging either oil or fresh water.

(8) POWER ON LIGHT

RED light illuminates whenever the unit is receiving the power necessary for operation. This light will illuminate regardless of whether the unit is actually operating.

TROUBLESHOOTING

19 VMT - v. JUNE 2005

7.0 TROUBLESHOOTING This section is designed to guide the operator of the Village Marine Tec Oily Water Separator units in locating the probable cause of the most frequently encountered problems. This section can only be a guide to solving potential problems with the RO unit and cannot contain all possible malfunctions, nor can it contain all possible ways to determine the cause of a malfunction. The best troubleshooting tool is the knowledge of the plant gained through experience. Any condition not covered in this section may be resolved by contacting any Village Marine Tec Service Department. Preliminary procedures: 1.

RIVERTRACE ENGINEERING LIMITED PAGE 6 OF 25

3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Multiple optical sensors measures a combination of light scattered andabsorbed by oil droplets in the sample stream. The sensor signals are then readby a microprocessor, which uses advanced solids discrimination algorithms todetermine the oil content of the sample. This improved algorithm results in aperformance greater than twice the required solids rejection set down in MEPC60 (33). The microprocessor also drives a 0-5v, 1-5V, 0 – 20mA or 4 – 20mA dclinearised output, two seven segment displays, six light emitting diodes, two oilalarm relays (at adjustable 1 – 15ppm set points) and one fault relay (used todrive autoclean when fitted).

The microprocessor continuously monitors the condition of the sensorcomponents and associated electronics to ensure that calibration accuracy ismaintained over time and extremes of environmental conditions.

In the event of a failure the oil alarm relays and fault relay are set to the alarmstate (de-energised) and both alarm status indicators and fault indicator are setto RED. An error code is displayed on the two seven segment displays relatingto the fault identity.

5. CONSTRUCTION DETAILS (Refer to Fig 5.1)

The OCD CM, in common with other versions of the OCD series, is a veryrobust instrument ideally suited to the aggressive environments of marine enginerooms.

The measuring cell is a sealed unit set to the right hand side of the enclosure.The inlet pipe is situated on the bottom of the cell (8) and the outlet pipe issituated on the top right hand side of the cell (3). A desiccator (7) to eliminatemoisture around the outside of the glass tube and a throttle (6) to regulate flowand maintain pressure are also fitted to the cell.

The main electronics are all contained within the enclosure on two printed circuitboards. Additionally a small PCB containing transmitters and sensors iscontained within the measuring cell. The display board (2) is mounted to thefront cover and provides the PPM display (4) and the six light emitting diodes.The mother board (1) is mounted to the back of the enclosure and contains thepower supply, alarm relays, digital to analogue and amplification circuitry.

The front of the monitor is fitted with a membrane user interface containing threepush buttons (9), and windows for the LED displays.

6. Autoclean System (where fitted) (refer to Fig 6.1)

The Autoclean System adds another level of reliability to the OCD CM throughthe automation of the cell cleaning process. The assembly is designed toclean the cell tube every 5 – 60 minutes (user selectable see section 9 subsection 7) to reduce the build up of scale and other deposits on the inside of theglass.

The OCD CM is mounted onto a stainless steel back plate (4). Two conduitsprovide passage for wiring between the monitor and the customer terminalenclosure (3). Wiring is also provided to connect the solenoid valve (2) to theterminal enclosure which in turn is connected to the autoclean control relay(fault relay on stand alone monitor). The solenoid valve controls the air flow tothe autoclean cylinder (1) which drives a wiper up and down to clean the celltube. The air inlet fitting is ¼ BSPT and flow should be regulated between 4 and6 bar.

It is important to note that all the existing wiring on the panel isessential to the operation of the autoclean system and that removal

of any such connections will impair the operation of the monitor.

7. INSTALLATION (Refer to Fig 7.1)

See section 2 for important notes.

Location

The OCD CM monitor should be located on or in close proximity to the oily-waterseparator to minimise response delays. Under no circumstances should thedistance between the monitor and the separator exceed 8 metres since thiswould result in a response time of more than 20 seconds and breach IMOregulations.

Mounting

Mount the OCD CM by means of 4 x M4 screws on to a rigid vertical surface andpreferably with the display panel of the monitor at eye level.

8. WIRING (Refer to Fig 8.1)

See Section 2 for important notes concerning wiring.

This unit must be connected to the mains supply via a suitably rated andapproved fused isolator unless such fusing/isolation is provided by associatedequipment. When fitted the isolator should be close by, readily accessible andmarked as to function.

Cable entries can accept cables from 6 to 12 mm diameter. The terminalblock will accept cable cores of up to 4 mm and cables carrying hazardousvoltages must be at least 0.75 mm csa . When terminating mains cabling atmonitor and electrical source, the earth conductor must be made longer thanthe live and neutral conductors.

To select between 230V and 115V supply a link (or two in the case of 115 V), isattached on JP1 and JP2 in the relative formations shown in fig 8.1. The link mustbe electrically insulated and at least 0.25 mm csa.

Note to make connections to J11, J12, JP1 and JP2 terminals may be pulled outof PCB connections via tags or links provided.

Connections to the cables should be made as shown in Fig 8.1

Precise wiring details will vary dependent upon the control system to beemployed but the most frequently used systems employ Alarm relay 1 for controlpurposes and Alarm relay 2 for alarm annunciation only.

Typical Control System

The two most frequently employed systems are:-

a) Pump Stop on AlarmWith a pump stop system Alarm relay 1 controls the energisation of thebilge pump Direct On Line starter coil.

b) Recirculate on AlarmA recirculate system employs Alarm relay 1 to control a solenoid valvewhich energises or de-energises a pneumatically operated 3 way valve.

The disadvantage of a pump stop system is that in the event of an alarm action,the process of discharging bilge water is halted and it may be impossible torestart the process without first flushing with clean water. This problem is avoidedwhen a 3 way diversion valve is provided since on alarm the contaminated bilgewater will be switched from the overboard discharge back to the bilge pumpsuction or bilge space. The separation process will continue until such time asthe pollution level falls below alarm 1 set point PPM at which time the dischargewill be directed overboard.

9. COMMISSIONING

See section 2 for important notes.

Fig 9.1 User Interface guideline

On completion of the installation, wiring and piping carry out the following checks:-

1) Electrical• Check that the power supply voltage on cables 1 and 2 are within

limits.• Check to confirm that a good connection to earth has been made.

Page 68: OILY WATER SEPARATOR OWS 2.2-11 GPM

INSTRUCTION MANUAL Doc. 107180 Rev. CBILGE OIL ALARM - TYPE OCD CM

RIVERTRACE ENGINEERING LIMITED PAGE 16 OF 25

2) Piping• Check all piping connections for leaks and rectify as appropriate.

Functional Tests (refer to Fig 9.1)• Turn the supply voltage to the Monitor on, the display (1) should read

FC (Factory Calibration) for 3 Seconds. (*note this will only change toCC if a full scale calibration is performed outside factory conditions).

• The monitor will then run through a self diagnostic and initialisationroutine. During this time the display will count down from 40 to 0 andback up to 40 again. Alarm LED’s will extinguish + illuminate at alarmset points.

• Run oil free water through the instrument for a short period to purge thesystem of air and dirt.

• Adjust the Throttle screw (Fig 5.1 – 6) in the cell cap so that the flowrate through the cell is between 0.5 and 2 litres/min. NB. The flow rateshould be checked on both the clean water supply and the separatorsample supply. If the clean water supply is obtained from a highpressure source, it may be necessary to restrict this at a point up-streamof the clean water/sample 3 way selector valve.

• Switch the clean water supply to the instrument and after 2 minutes setzero in accordance with the Operating Instructions (see sect 9.5).

• Set-up the monitor to give a 0 – 5V analogue output and connect avolt meter across + V out and – V out (see sect 9.6). The reading shouldnot vary by more than 0.25v above zero (equivalent to + 1.5ppm). Ifthe reading varies by a greater amount, air entrapment is almostcertainly present and changes to the sample piping or sampling take-off point may be necessary.

3) Setting Alarm points (refer to Fig 9.1)• Alarm 1 and alarm 2 are both factory set to 15 PPM. To adjust these

points the following procedure should be followed .

• To adjust alarm 1 set pointPress & release the DOWN or UP KEY (10 or 9) repeatedly until the PPMLED (3) and the ALARM 1 ADJUST LED (6) are both on, the alarm 1 PPMset point is now displayed. Press & release the SET/ZERO KEY (8).Adjust the PPM value by pressing the UP or DOWN KEY (10 or 9) until thedesired value is displayed. Acknowledge the desired value by pressingand releasing the SET/ZERO KEY (8)

• To adjust alarm 2 set pointPress & release the DOWN or UP KEY (10 or 9) repeatedly until the PPMLED (3) and the ALARM 2 ADJUST LED (7) are both on, the alarm 2 PPMset point is now displayed. Press & release the SET/ZERO KEY (8).Adjust the PPM value by pressing the UP or DOWN KEY (10 or 9) until thedesired value is displayed.
