AQ-OWS-8

Wartsila AQUARIUS AQ-OWS-8 — 8.0 m³/h capacity. It is normally installed in the engine-room bilge-treatment area between bilge holding arrangements and the approved recirculation or discharge piping. Its primary purpose is to remove oil from contaminated bilge water before any permitted overboard discharge. Unlike ordinary settling equipment, an approved OWS is integrated with oil-content monitoring and automatic stopping or recirculation. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional meaning is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Coalescer, filter or separation-stage fouling causes rising oil-content readings or automatic recirculation
Oil-content monitor contamination or blocked sampling lines cause unstable readings, alarms or discharge shutdown
Diverting-valve or solenoid faults prevent correct recirculation and cause sequence alarms
Feed-pump seal wear or suction-side air ingress causes unstable flow or poor separation
Detergents or stable emulsions overwhelm the process and cause persistent high oil-content readings

Service & Maintenance

Inspect separation stages, filters, pumps, monitor sample lines, automatic stopping devices and overboard valve arrangements. Verify that the approved treatment route cannot be bypassed and review operating records where required. Clean and check the oil-content monitor according to the approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for flow, pressure and calibration criteria.
