OPUSPressure Type Oily Water Separator
OPUS 5.0
2
The system comes as a complete package, skid mounted with all necessary accessories and controls and providing the following benefits:
exceptionally high purity levels < 1 ppm oil content in the effluent under IMO conditions
USCG type approval certified
EMV-Electromagnetic Compliance
class Notations “Clean Design” and Alaska-Rules conformity
easy to install and easy to handle
worldwide service & support
The OPUS is based on the excellent and long experience of RWO‘s SKIT/S and SKIT/S-DEB oily water separator series, guaranting a high performance standard. The periodical backflushing keeps the coalescer surface clean and offers long lasting operation without attendance and lowest maintenance.
Other than RWO‘s suction type SKIT series, the OPUS is a pressure driven system. This allowing e.g. the – loosely supplied – separator feed pump being installed at or on top of the bilge holding tank in case the oily water separator‘s location being too high above the bilge holding tank level. Furthermore, by individual interconnection the feed pump could also serve other pumping requirements on board.
Oil/Water SeparationThe RWO oil/water separation system type OPUS complies with the actual IMO Resolution MEPC.107 (49), using the combination of highly effective open porous coalescer with automatic backflushing, together with a second stage emulsion breaking oil and hydrocarbon polisher.
More than 10,000 ships have
already been equipped with
efficient RWO oily
water separator systems.
SFU – Splitting and Filtration Unit

FeaturesTo extend the operating life of the demulsifier, an automatic bypass is fitted to the separating
system. The 15ppm oil content measuring device periodically checks the water quality of the
OPUS first stage separator and, if below 15ppm, the demulsifier is bypassed until the 15ppm
alarm is activated. This process control causing a considerable life cycle prolongation.
15ppm oil content monitorThe RWO oily water separating system is equipped with the 15ppm oil content alarm device,
type tested and approved in accordance with IMO Resolution MEPC.107 (49).
The 3-way cock for flushing is fitted with a contact (automatic stopping device) to ensure that
the 3-way diverting valve is in recirculation mode during flushing of the alarm device. According
to IMO Resolution MEPC.107(49) an extra 3-way valve is installed downstream of the oily water
separator in the overboard line to recirculate the water to the bilge whenever required during
Port State Control.
The OPUS oil/water separator can – like the SKIT/S and SKIT/S-DEB – be equipped with a Splitting and Filtration (SFU) pretreatment stage in case of very difficult bilgewater composition.
