At Bodursan, we specialize in providing Oil / Water Separator (OWS) Repair Services for vessels, ensuring that these critical systems continue to function efficiently and in compliance with international environmental regulations. Our expert technicians are trained to diagnose, repair, and maintain oil-water separators, helping shipowners and operators ensure that their vessels meet MARPOL Annex I requirements and avoid penalties for oil discharge violations.

Oil / Water Separators are vital for removing oil and other contaminants from bilge water before it is discharged into the ocean, ensuring that the vessel operates in an environmentally responsible manner. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to keep these systems running smoothly and efficiently.

Our Oil / Water Separator Repair Services

1. Comprehensive Inspection and Diagnostics

• System Check-up: Our certified technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your oil-water separator system, including its components such as pumps, filters, sensors, control panels, and discharge valves. We ensure that the system is functioning as it should and identify any potential issues that may require repair or replacement.

• Troubleshooting: If the oil-water separator is malfunctioning, we perform diagnostic testing to identify the root cause of the issue. This includes examining electrical components, flow rates, pressure levels, and alarms to pinpoint areas of failure.

• Performance Testing: We conduct performance tests to verify that the OWS is effectively separating oil and water according to the vessel’s operational specifications and environmental regulations. We check for leaks, blockages, or inefficiencies that could hinder performance.

2. Repair and Replacement Services

• Component Replacement: If any parts of the oil-water separator are found to be damaged or worn out, we offer replacement services for key components such as:

• Filtration units (coalescers, cartridges, membranes)

• Pumps and motors

• Pressure and flow sensors

• Electrical components (wiring, control panels, alarms)

• Discharge valves and fittings

• System Rebuilding: In the case of severe wear or failure, we offer complete system rebuilds, where we strip down the oil-water separator, replace the necessary parts, and restore it to full functionality.

• Seal and Gasket Replacement: Over time, seals and gaskets can degrade, leading to leaks and inefficiency. Bodursan ensures the proper replacement of seals and gaskets to maintain the integrity of the system.

3. Cleaning and Maintenance Services

• System Cleaning: Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the performance of your OWS. We provide thorough cleaning services to remove oil residues, debris, and other contaminants that may clog filters or obstruct proper functioning.

• Filter Cleaning and Replacement: We clean and replace filters to ensure that the separation process runs smoothly. This includes oil coalescer filters, water discharge filters, and any other filtration elements in the system.

• Pump Maintenance: Pumps are integral to the separation process. We check, clean, and maintain the pumps, ensuring that they are operating efficiently and without obstruction.

4. Calibration and System Optimization

• Calibration of Sensors and Controls: Accurate sensors and controls are essential for proper operation. We calibrate flow sensors, pressure gauges, and level indicators to ensure the OWS is operating within the required parameters and is compliant with regulatory standards.

• Performance Optimization: Our team works to optimize the efficiency of the oil-water separator system, ensuring that it separates oil and water effectively while minimizing waste and ensuring compliance with discharge regulations.

5. Regulatory Compliance and Testing

• Compliance with MARPOL Annex I: Our repair services ensure that your oil-water separator meets MARPOL Annex I standards, which mandate that ships must not discharge oil-contaminated water into the sea in quantities exceeding specified limits. We test the system to ensure that it is capable of separating oil to below the allowed discharge limit (15 ppm).

• Discharge Monitoring and Testing: We can arrange for discharge tests to confirm that your system meets the discharge limits for oil in water. This includes calibration of oil content monitors and conducting tests to ensure the system complies with all applicable regulations.

• Documentation: We assist with ensuring all required maintenance, repair, and inspection documentation is accurately recorded, providing you with proof of compliance for regulatory audits and inspections.

6. Emergency Oil / Water Separator Repair Services

• 24/7 Emergency Support: Bodursan offers 24/7 emergency repair services for oil-water separators to ensure that any sudden breakdowns or malfunctions are addressed quickly, preventing the vessel from falling out of compliance or facing penalties.

• Fast Response and Troubleshooting: We understand the urgency of OWS system failures, so our team is always ready to provide quick troubleshooting, repairs, and temporary fixes to get your system back in working order.

7. System Upgrade and Retrofit

• Upgrading to Modern OWS Systems: We offer system upgrade services for older oil-water separators, replacing outdated components with newer, more efficient technologies that provide better performance and energy savings.

• Retrofit Services: If your vessel’s OWS system is outdated or no longer meets regulatory standards, we provide retrofit services, installing new, more efficient, and environmentally compliant systems that improve separation efficiency and reduce operational costs.
