The Turbulo-MPB Bilge Water Separator is the latest development of the Turbulo separator which dates back to 1925. With this experience, combined with continuous development, the Turbulo-MPB Bilge Water Separator provides a highly reliable, trouble free way to comply with the latest MEPC regulations.

The Turbulo MPB Bilge Water Separator is a two-stage oily water separator, suitable for use onboard any ship or offshore platform. It fulfils the 5 ppm criteria, as well as, the IMO 15 ppm requirements.

The sizes range from 0.25 m3/h to 10 m3/h.

As an option, we recommend fitting the Turbulo Sludge Buoy in the holding tank. With this simple mechanical device, it is possible to remove the oil which has separated out in the holding tank before it even enters the separator, thereby reducing maintenance and cleaning of the separator unit very considerably.

The first stage of the separator unit is a pressure system, with oleophilic coalescer inserts, that operates on a gravitational principle. Oily water is passed through the separator via a helical rotor pump and the separated oil is drained by means of automatic level control. There is a heating coil to address heavy fuel oil scenarios. The second stage features HycaSep (hydrocarbon separator) elements which coalesce the finest oil particles. An IMO certified monitor is included.

The unit operates fully automatically with continuous monitoring. The pump has run-dry protection. Maintenance is easy. There is no need to dismantle any pipes or fittings. The units are supported by a world-wide network of service stations.

Simplex fin stabilisers have been proven in many installations over many decades. They are robust and highly reliable. They have been subject to continuous development and represent the leading edge of this technology.

All retractable fin stabilisers have anti-vortex tips. The Ultra High Lift Fin is a special tail flap which increases roll reduction efficiency by up to 15% compared with conventional two-part fin stabilisers.

Depending on your requirements, you can select:

• Standard retractable fin stabilisers
• Zero speed retractable fin stabilisers
• Special stabiliser covers to reduce drag in way of the fin box
• Fixed fin stabilisers
• Special Eco mode control software
• Retrofits of updated control systems for existing stabilisers
• Rudder based roll stabilisation – see our information on steering gear

The Simplex rotary vane steering gear is a high-performance steering gear with very fast response times and angles up to 65 degrees or more on twin rudder systems with asymmetrical rudder angles.

Being relatively small in size, it is ideal for smaller vessels where space is an issue or where high performance is required. The steering gear can be used with any type of rudder.

Because of its very high speed of reaction, the steering gear is available for use on its own as a roll reduction system. By eliminating the need for fin stabilisers, this steering gear is particularly suitable for applications where the acoustic signal should be reduced.
