Introduction
The document discusses the Bilge Water Separator developed by Facet International, designed to address the challenges of separating water-oil emulsions in bilge waters from modern ships. This equipment complies with the IMO MEPC.107(49) resolution, ensuring effluent with less than 15 ppm of hydrocarbons.

Design and Technology
The separator combines traditional coalescent plate technology with advanced membrane systems, resulting in a compact, lightweight, and low-maintenance device. It operates automatically via a PLC and is capable of handling a flow rate of 2.5 m3/h (10 US GPM). The system is delivered ready for installation, complete with pumps, valves, and a control panel.

Operation and Maintenance
The separator features minimal moving parts, with fixed level control and no float. Maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning of plate packs and membranes. The system facilitates oil discharge through the ship's pressurized water system and does not require chemicals for cleaning.

Performance
The CPS 10B MKIII + EMB removes hydrocarbons in two stages: free hydrocarbons are separated by plate packs, and emulsified hydrocarbons are removed by a membrane, achieving an effluent with less than 5 ppm of hydrocarbons.

Accessories
Included accessories are a bilge alarm compliant with IMO MEPC.107(49) and an optional electric heater for heavy oil discharge.

Certification
The equipment is certified according to IMO MEPC.107(49) standards, ensuring reliability and cost efficiency.

Specifications
Dimensions: 1860 mm x 1300 mm x 1850 mm. The system includes various nozzles for oil/water separation, discharge, and recirculation.
