Process Parameters

The EPC-41 control unit controls the separation process. It can be programmed for different separation systems and different conditions within the system, by setting parameters.
The process parameters can be easily adjusted,
as often as required, to meet changes in the
operating conditions, e.g. oil temperature,
alarm points, time between sludge discharges.
Each separator has its own EPC-41 control
unit. Up to three separation systems can be
interconnected via cables between their control units. The separators can work in parallel
or series operation. Only two separators can
work in series; the third must work in parallel
or act as a stand-by. The first separator in
series should always be defined as a purifier
and the second as a clarifier.

NOTE
P2 is factory set to P (purifier). If you
change it to C (clarifier) you get all
the factory settings for a clarifier,
which is shown in column Factory
set value, Clarifier in the tables.

WARNING
Disintegration
hazard
If the time between sludge discharges
is set too long, sludge accumulation
and bowl imbalance may occur.

By setting P90 to 50, the mode selector in
position L and then by pushing the alarm reset
button, the 32 latest alarms can be displayed,
including self resetting alarms.
Each logged alarm consists of three
consecutive groups of information:
1. The accumulated alarm log time, which
shows how long the EPC has been in
operation since an alarm.
If the interval between two alarms is
greater than 999.5 hours ( 41 days) the
whole alarm log will be reset to 0.
2. The alarm is indicated in the same way as
when it occurred, except for the alarms
starting with an E:
alarm code starting with an A.
LED and an alarm code, for instance
High or low oil temperature.
LED indications only.
alarm code starting with an E (events
with no alarm released)
There is only one event for EPC-41,
which is a self resetting function;

Additional Parameter Information

6.1 Process Parameters

P1

Max time between sludge discharge

Long intervals between sludge
discharges can cause the sludge to
accumulate and solidify. The sludge
may then break up at sludge discharge
and create imbalance in the bowl.

WARNING
Disintegration
hazard
If the interval between sludge
discharges is too long, there is risk of
heavy side breakdown.

As many factors influence the sludge

discharge interval, the choice of
interval must be based on experience.
When the bowl is opened for routine
cleaning, the sludge space should be
inspected and, if necessary, the interval
between discharges changed
accordingly.
Clean sludge space: the interval may
be prolonged. Clean sludge space
means that no noticeable amount of
solidified sludge remains in the sludge
space.
Dirty sludge space: the interval must
be shortened. Dirty sludge space
means that some solidified sludge has
accumulated in the sludge space.

1810108-02 V1

The only way to get a clean sludge

space is to make appropriate
adjustment of the interval based on
regular inspection.
N.B. Alfa Laval assumes no responsibility
for the actual choice of discharge
interval times, as these depend entirely
on local feed characteristics.
Fuel oil cleaning
Conditions may change completely
when bunkers are changed. Therefore,
great care must be given to the
discharge interval setting for each new
bunker. In case the current discharge
interval exceeds the recommended
initial value, the interval setting has to
be reduced according to table on next
page, when a new, unknown bunker is
to be separated.
Use of unstable fuel or mixing of
incompatible fuel oils may cause
precipitation of sludge and overloading
of the separator.

WARNING
Disintegration
hazard
Each new bunker requires review of
the discharge time setting.

Series configuration
Up to three EPC-41 control units can
be linked together. Only two of the
three connected separators can work in
series. The first separator in series
should always be defined as a purifier
and the second separator as a clarifier.
The relationship between the
parameters P2, P3 and P23 is shown in
the following table.

N.B. The 1st linked control unit must always

have the power on (the separator does
not need to be operating) when the 2nd
and the 3rd separators are operating in
series.

High temperature alarm
P5 should be set sufficiently above the
temperature set point P7.
5 10 C (10 20 F) higher than P7
is recommended.
If P5 = 0 (monitoring temperature

P5, P6 and P7 can be set both for heavy

fuel oil (HFO) and for diesel oil (DO),
see P15. If both oils are to be used, the
following must be done:
1. Set P5, P6 and P7 for HFO (P15
is factory set to HFO).
2. Change P15 to do.
3. Go back to P5 and set P5, P6 and
P7 for DO.
If only diesel oil is to be used for the
installation, the following must be
done:
1. Set P5 greater than 0.
2. Change P15 to do.
3. Go back to P5 and set P5, P6 and
P7 for DO.

MOPX Parameter List

6 Additional Parameter Information

How to set P8 and P9:

If the temperature varies with regularly
repeated oscillation, setting of the
proportional band and integral time is
necessary.

Increasing the value of parameter

P8 (proportional band width) will
result in a slower and more stable
control action.

Increasing the value of parameter

P9 (integral time) also results in
slower response from the EPC-41.

We recommend that you follow these

guidelines:
1. Set P9 = 10 minutes.

A = The value of P-band (P8).

B = The time for one full period in
seconds.

Constant amplitude

P000051A

3. When you have discovered the

point where the process oscillates
with a constant amplitude note the
following figures:

P000041A

2. Decrease P-band (P8) band in steps

until the process reaches the point
where it starts to oscillate with a
constant amplitude. Test the
stability after each step by
introducing a step-change of load
or set point.

4. Calculation of optimal parameter

settings.
P-band
P8 = 2.2 A

I-time
P9 = 0.8 B

The settings above give a rather good

result but may be adjusted according
to individual characteristics in different
loops.

1810108-02 V1

6 Additional Parameter Information

P15

HFO / DO selection of oil type

To prevent false alarm (A7-10) when
cleaning diesel oil the type of oil must
be specified.
Once P5, P6 and P7 are set for HFO
or DO they automatically follow the
selection of P15.
If P15 = HFO and P5 is set > 0 then
P5 for DO is automatically reset to
50 C (120 F).
If P15 = do then P53 =P70 = 0.
See P5 for the relationship between P5,
P6, P7 and P15.

MOPX Parameter List

P35

Low temperature alarm delay after

MV1 change over
When the oil feed change over valve
changes position the flow rate and thus
the oil temperature may be influenced.
By delaying the temperature alarm, a
false alarm is avoided as the oil
temperature has time to stabilize.
P35 should be set according to plant
application. If a delay time above 120
seconds is necessary, check the heating
system and the installation layout.

P36

Remote control
Remote control can be applied in form
of:

6.2 Installation Parameters

P34

EPC-41 address
If the separator works as single unit the
EPC-41 address shall always be 1.
When using more than one separator in
the same system (parallel or series)
each interconnected EPC-41 control
unit must be identified. The EPC-41
address shows in which order the
control units are linked.
See also P3 for the relationship
between the parameters.
Alarm delay time
Activation of most alarm functions can
be delayed up to 30 seconds, except for

emergency / vibration alarm

MOPX 207, 309, 310 & 213 this
indicates a malfunction.
N.B. Before increasing the sealing water,
make sure that the appropriate gravity
disc is fitted to the separator bowl.
N.B. This function is blocked in the clarifier
mode (P2 = C, and P51 = - - -).

6.3 Timer Sequence

Parameters

Oil feed on during stabilizing period

Oil admitted to separator bowl during a
stabilizing period.
If more than 30 seconds is needed for
the purifier and 60 seconds for the
clarifier it may indicate a malfunction.

6.3.1 Starting Sequence

6.3.2 Separation Sequence

P50

Bowl closing water

For proper closing of the separator
bowl during start-up sequence. If more
than 60 seconds is required, it may
indicate a malfunction.

P61

P51

Sealing water
Sealing water is used in the bowl to
prevent oil from discharging through
the water outlet in a purifier. The
amount of sealing water in the bowl is
balanced by the gravity disc. During
the starting sequence, sufficient water
must be admitted to the empty bowl to
establish an adequate water seal.
Insufficient water will lead to a broken
water seal. If a broken water seal
occurs during the starting sequence the
time setting can be increased. P51
should be set according to experience.

N.B. In series operation the time sequence

for the clarifier must be longer than for
the purifier, in order to synchronize
sludge discharges initiated from the
purifier.

1810108-02 V1

Time between sludge discharges

The same as P1 (setting one parameter
will set both to the same value).
Bowl closing water is supplied for 2
seconds every 15 minutes.

MOPX Parameter List

6.3.3 Sludge Discharge Sequence

P70

Displacement water
Filling of displacement water to the
bowl eliminates the risk of oil loss at
the next sludge discharge.
If more than 40 seconds are required,
this indicates a malfunction.

N.B. If P2 = C (clarifier mode), then P70

starts but the valve is not activated
(i.e. no displacement water added).
P72

Sludge discharge
Sludge discharge initiated by MV15
admitting water to the separator bowl.
If more than 4 seconds are required,
this indicates a malfunction.

P78

Draining of bowl operating system.

Stabilizing period to allow water to
drain from the opening chamber.
Should be set according to experience.

6.3.4 Stopping sequence

P80

Bowl closing water on

To be set for proper closing of the bowl
(on until P86)

P81

Bowl displacement water on

Purifier mode only; the bowl is filled
up in order to prevent vibration.
MOPX 213 is 90 secs, and for smaller
sizes 45 secs is recommended

P82

Oil feed on
Clarifier mode only; the bowl is filled
up in order to prevent vibration.

P86

Separator motor off

The separator motor is automatically
switched off.
Restarting is blocked for 3 minutes.
