OFWA
The OFWA system is used for the filtration and separation of lubricating oils with viscosities up to 68 cSt. The system is divided into two parts (pump module/treatment module) to adapt to site conditions. The gear pump sends the fuel to the treatment stage, where it is filtered and separated. The separated water is detected by a probe and automatically discharged.

Applications
The OFWA system is primarily used for separating water from lubricating oil in:
- medium-to-large vessels;
- power plants for generating energy from liquid fuels;
- industrial plants;
- heavy earthmoving machinery.
- Maximum oil viscosity 68 cSt.
- Maximum inlet water content 1,000 ppm.
- Outlet water concentration 70 ppm.
- Flow rate 5–16 l/min.
- Maximum ambient temperature 55°C.
- Maximum fluid temperature 45°C.
- Highly efficient water filtration, separation, and automatic drainage in a single system.
- Compact design requires little space.
- Low operating costs.
- Low maintenance.
- The system must be connected to a low-pressure line.
- The filter’s clogging status is monitored via a differential pressure switch.
- At a differential pressure of 1.5 bar, the element must be replaced.
- If replacement is not performed, the bypass valve opens, sending untreated fluid to downstream systems.
