OWS-COM 5
The DVZ OWS-COM 5 is a gravity‑driven bilge water separator that removes oil to ≤15 ppm before discharge, featuring an integrated oil monitor and a compact modular design. The supplied category identifies the equipment as Bilge Water Separator (OWS 15ppm), and it is normally installed in the engine-room bilge or liquid-treatment area with pumps, sludge handling, monitoring and approved discharge or recirculation piping. In that listed role, its primary purpose is to separate oil, water or solids from a process stream before reuse, storage or permitted discharge. Centrifugal purifiers and oily-water separators use different separation principles, so bowl, coalescer, monitor and discharge arrangements must be identified from the installed system. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional performance, approval or construction detail is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. The source metadata also states power: 1.5 kW; capacity: 5.0 m3/h. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Service & Maintenance
Inspect the separation element or bowl, filters, pumps, seals, monitoring, sample lines and sludge or discharge arrangements. Review outlet quality and operating trends and verify that approved discharge paths cannot be bypassed where statutory controls apply. Clean and test monitors according to the approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for flow, temperature, pressure and calibration criteria.
