Did you know
- The Alfa Laval ALCAP (Alfa Laval Clarifier and Purifier) system was introduced in mid-1983, building upon Alfa Laval's extensive history in centrifugal separation dating back to the late 1870s with cream separators and early 1900s with oil separation.
- The ALCAP system is primarily associated with Alfa Laval's S-separators, which are designed for maximum protection and fuel economy, handling heavy fuel oils and lubricating oils. In contrast, the P-separators, while also high-performing, are better suited for well-defined oils with fewer process challenges and utilize a manually set gravity disc rather than ALCAP's automatic adjustment.
- The ALCAP system's primary strength lies in its ability to automatically adjust to varying fuel oil densities without the need for manual gravity disc selection, which significantly reduces human error and ensures continuous, optimal separation performance, especially for high-density and variable-quality fuel oils.
| Model | Gravity Disc | Density Handling (kg/m³ at 15°C) | Operation | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALCAP (S-separator) | Not required (automatic adjustment) | Up to 1010 | Automatic, continuous monitoring | Heavy fuel oils, variable density fuels, lubricating oils, biofuels |
| P-separator | Manually set | Up to 991 (for well-defined oils) | Manual adjustment of interface | Lubricating oils, distillates, lighter diesel oils, well-defined heavy fuel oils |
