It's a tendency to strengthen related international laws as the importance on marine oil pollution recently becomes the issue. According to the regulation of IMO, oil discharge from ships is allowed under 15 ppm only and oil filtering equipment is essential. However, for large ships using heavy fuel oil of over S.G 0.98 and viscosity 380 cSt and system oil, it has been in difficulty to process with existing filtering type of oily water separator. Oily water pre-separator of laminated plate type which is one of gravity type separator has very simple structure and it also makes easier to maintain and repair. In another words, it fits well to process large amount of rich oil with high specific gravity. In this paper, oily water pre-separator of laminated plate type has been studied. The function of emulsified oil and 4 different types of oil have been analyzed and each character has been investigated and proved by experiments. As the result of it, the efficiency of separating oil water has been advanced by 10% in case equipped with pre-separator. In addition, the higher temperature is and the more laminated plate has, it turns out to be getting more effect.

물이 포함된 원유는 oil separator 를 거쳐 물이 제거된다. 본 연구의 목적은 공기-물-기름 3상 혼합물에 대한 3차원 oil separator 의 분리성능을 예측하기 위하여 Eulerian 전산유체역학(CFD: computational fluid dynamics) 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 비압축성, 등온, 비정상상태 CFD 모델식은 공기상을 연속상으로, 물과 기름상을 분산상으로 정의하며, 운동량 보존식은 항력(drag force), 양력(lift force), 다공성매체 저항력을 포함한다. 또한, 난류현상으로 standard k-${\varepsilon}$ 모델이 이용된다. 물과 기름 출구압은 oil separator 의 액위를 결정하는 중요한 인자이며, 정상운전상태 액위 25 cm를 맞추기 위하여 측정압은 각각 6.3 kPa, 5.1 kPa으로 결정되었다. 시간에 따른 공기, 물, 기름의 부피분율의 변화를 조사하였고, 정상상태에 도달하였을 때, 물과 기름상의 침강속도를 oil separator의 종축 길이에 따라 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 CFD 모델로부터 얻은 oil separator의 기름분리성능은 99.85%이며, 실험값과 거의 일치하였다. 비교적 단순한이 CFD 모델은향후 oil separator의구조를 변경하거나, 최적운전조건을 찾기위하여 유용하게사용될수있을 것이다.

Oily water separator of laminated plate type which is one of gravity type separator can be use as assistant equipment for the oil filtering system to meet the present IMO standard, because it fits well to process large amount of rich oil with high specific gravity. The purpose of this paper is to investigate an efficiency of oil/water separation with the characteristics of laminated plate arrangement. The analyse of oil contents for oil-water mixture were carried out in order to find an efficiency of oil/water separation and an experimental study was simultaneously carried out to investigate internal flow characteristics of separator by visualization method and PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) measurement at three spaces of plates for 5, 10 and 15 mm with variation of inlet flow rates of $0.25m^3$/h and $0.5m^3$/h. The experimental results showed that the space of the plates acts a significant role in the separating process.

According to the regulation of IMO, oil discharge from ships is allowed under 15ppm only and an oil filtering equipment is essential. However, for large ships using heavy fuel oil of over S.G 0.98 and viscosity 380cSt and system oil, it has been in difficulty to process with existing filtering type of oily water separator. A parallel plate type oily water separator which is one of gravity type separators can be used as an assistant equipment for the oil filtering system to meet the present IMO standard of 15 ppm, because it is an efficient method in dealing with a large amount of rich oil with high specific gravity. This work is focused on the fundamental investigation of the performance of the plate type oily water separator by visualization method and PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) measurement to acquire multi-point velocity data simultaneously. The experimental results showed that the space of the plates acts a significant role in separating process and it was found that an important point to minimize a vortex flow is to flow a large amount of fluid in space of the plates in order to promote the efficiency of separation.

The centrifugal separator which uses gravity separation method for oil-water separation, rotating at high-speed, is one of the most commonly used device for controlling the amount of the oil in waste water collected in bilge. The IMO (International Maritime Organization) has set regulations, also known as MARPOL 73/78, for the prevention of marine pollution. In addition, DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV) has set standards regarding the assignment of Environmental Class Notation, CLEAN or CLEAN DESIGN, of ships. One of the requirements for classification is that in addition to conforming to MARPOL 73/78, more stringent measures must be taken as well. One of these measures is to limit the oil concentration in bilge water to less than 5ppm. So in this study, an Oil-Water Separator (OWS) is used together with multiple separating plates as a filtration system to be used as an oil-water separation device. The OWS operates using centrifugal separation in which the mixture is separated by centrifugal forces. The main purpose of this paper is to present the OWS separation efficiency according to the rotation speed, mass-flow rate, the angle and the number of stacked layers of the laminated plate using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Improvements to the device will be investigated from these results.

A small scale centrifugal oil separator consisted of two concentric tubes was fabricated for spilt oil recovery. With speed control of the inner tube, its performance of oil separation was investigated. Oil-water mixture is separated by forced vortex motion with the rotating inner tube. Velocity and pressure distributions in the tubes were calculated. Control of rotating speed, which is the most influencing parameter, showed an optimum value 946rpm corresponding to the acceleration of 20g at the inner tube surface. Separation performance was suddenly deteriorated at rotating speed higher than 1200rpm.

Recently, as the high-precision machinery industry has developed rapidly, peripheral equipment has been developed to improve machining efficiency. Peripheral equipment for machining includes cooling units, housings, oil separators, and much more. Oil, such as cleaning and cutting fluids, is used for machining. When waste oil is reused, the contamination of the workpieces and reduction in machining accuracy are generated by the waste oil, including sludge. Therefore, the development of an oil separator is necessary for efficiently separating oil, water, and sludge. The purpose of this study is to analyze the oil separation efficiency and flow characteristics of a high-speed centrifugal separator according to the rotation velocity and diffusion plate. The oil separation efficiency and flow characteristics were analyzed using hydrodynamic theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results of this study will be used as basic data for the development of a high-speed centrifugal separator.

갈수록 강화되고 있는 해양오염 기준에 맞추어 유성 빌지 배출시 포함된 기름의 함유량을 제어하기 위한 방법 중의 하나로 중력 분리 방식의 유수분리기가 개발되어왔다. 중력분리 방식 중 분리판식 유수관리기는 고비중을 가진 다량의 농후유를 처리하는데 있어서 효과적이기 때문에, 현재 IMO 기준인 15ppm에 부합하는 필터여과방식의 보완장치로서 사용이 가능하다. 이 논고의 목적은 분리판의 배열에 따른 유수분리 효율에 대해 검토하는 것이다. 유량, 유입유분농도 그리고 분리판 사이의 간격 등을 포함한 여러 가지 운용상의 변수가 있는 유성혼합물에 대한 효율적인 처리를 알아보기 위해 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과 얻은 결론에서 격리판 사이의 간격이 분리효율에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 가장 좋은 분리 효율은 분리판과 내통 사이 간격과의 비율(H/Ci)이 2일 때 유입유분농도가 낮고 유량이 작은 경우에 얻어졌다.
