The Alfa Laval MAB separator helps prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime on equipment that uses fuel or lubricating oils. This flexible separator is suitable for all marine installations and power stations. Use it as a purifier or clarifier, ensuring reliable equipment operation for longer. Alfa Laval MAB 103 Manual Clean, Disc-Stack Centrifuge. The Alfa Laval MAB 103 Centrifuge is a solid-retaining (aka solid bowl; manual-clean), disc-stack centrifuge ideal for the continuous, three-phase separation of fuels, such as diesel, biodiesel, and turbine lube oil.With a 1 HP Motor, the MAB 103 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 8,600 and can process 3 GPM of Diesel Fuel or 1 GPM of Turbine.
Separation takes place in a solids-retaining bowl that can be arranged for either clarification or purification. In both cases, the contaminated oil is fed into the separator through the centre, and it is separated by centrifugal force into its various phases, the heaviest phase (sludge and water) being forced outwards to the periphery of the bowl. The accumulation of sludge is periodically removed from the bowl by hand.
Installation
- This manual is designed for operators and service engineers working with the Alfa Laval separator MAB 104B-14/24. For information concerning the function of the separator, see ‘‘3 Separator Basics” on page 17 and ‘‘4 Operating Instructions” on page 35. If the separator has been delivered and installed by Alfa Laval as part of a.

The oil is pumped, heated, and separated as shown in the figure. A liquid seal in the separator bowl prevents the oil from escaping through the water outlet. If this seal is broken, an alarm device is activated. With unmanned engine rooms, the
signals are transmitted to a remote control unit. When the seal is broken, the three-way valve shuts off the oil feed and the oil is recirculated until the fault is corrected.
