Did you know
- Alfa Laval's history of centrifugal separation began with Gustaf de Laval's first continuous separator in 1879. The company started selling "self-cleaning" centrifugal separators in 1951. The FOPX series is part of the "Generation FOPX" which is characterized as a heavy fuel capable, self-cleaning separator.
- The FOPX series is a self-cleaning disc separator, positioned alongside other self-cleaning disc separators like the MOPX and MFPX series, but specifically highlighted for its heavy fuel capabilities.
- The FOPX series is chosen for its ability to handle heavy fuel oils (HFO), marine diesel oils (MDO), distillates, and lubricating oils that contain water, catalytic fines, and abrasive solids. Its self-cleaning disc stack bowl with automatic sludge discharge allows for continuous, 24/7 operation and flexibility as both a purifier and clarifier.
