Page 6: Safety Instructions
Alfa Laval will not be responsible for any breakdown of the equipment caused by the owner’s failure to follow the instructions given in this documentation. This documen- tation describes the authorized way to use the separator system. - Page 7 Repairs: unscheduled break-down of a component, often causing the system to stop. Damaged components shall be replaced or repaired. • Stock of recommended spare parts: Alfa Laval recommends keeping a stock of spare parts facilitating preventive maintenance and reducing the system down time in case of unplanned bread downs.
- Page 8 Safety Stop • After a safety stop the cause of the fault must be identified. If all parts have been checked and the cause remains unclear, contact Alfa Laval for advice. Vibration • If the separator begins to vibrate excessively during operation, stop it immediately by pushing the emergency stop button and evacuate the room.
- Page 9 Introduction and General Information 1 Hazards Hazardous Area • Cleaning, maintenance and repair work may be done only at nonexplosive atmos- phere. • The separator may be hazardous when passing its critical speeds during the run- down. • For reasons of safety, only tools made of non-sparking material may be used when performing work in hazardous area.

Page 11: Mbpx507 System Description
Introduction and General Information 1 1.4 MBPX507 System description Separator The separator is a solids‑discharging high speed separator, for clarification. Sediment ejection (discharge) takes place through sludge ports in the bowl periphery while the separator is in full operation. The separator is equipped with an operating water module. The operating liquid (inlet 375) closes and opens the bowl in the separator. - Page 12 1 Introduction and General Information Process/service liquid module The process liquid components are used for flow control through the separator. There is an inlet for process liquid (201.1) and a feed pump (P201– There is also two product outlets (220.1, 220.2). The solids outlet from the cyclone (222.1) is equipped with a solids pump.
- Page 13 Introduction and General Information 1 The flushing water is used at solids discharge to clean the outside of the bowl, the inside of the bowl cover, the cyclone and the solids channel. Electrical and Control system The system consists of the control panel with the pneumatic unit and a variable frequency drive (VFD) for the separator.
