Performance beyond IMO standards
GEA bilge Separator
The GEA bilge Separator with an integrated direct drive is designed for superior purification of oily water on marine vessels, ensuring minimum residual oil content. This advanced system guarantees an oil content of less than 15 ppm, and for more stringent requirements, even below 5 ppm.
Pushing the limits with the GEA bilge Separator
The GEA bilge Separator is a revolutionary solution that delivers maximum performance per square meter, a simplified service concept, and intelligent connectivity.
Unlike conventional systems, the GEA Bilge Separator achieves 15 ppm oil content across all performance classes – without additional adsorption filters or chemicals. This is made possible through an optimized bowl and disk stack design, ensuring gentle product feed and enhanced clarification.
Key features include:
- Integrated direct drive for higher efficiency
- Compact design with a small footprint
- Reduced energy consumption
- Easy-to-replace drive system
- Residual oil content below 15 ppm (without additional filters)
- Residual oil content below 5 ppm (with an optional adsorption filter)
- Continuous monitoring of the overboard valve (GEA SafetyMaster)
- Seamless integration with GEA SafetyMaster (system-integrated or stand-alone)
- MTP-ready for advanced connectivity
Key benefits
- Highly efficient integrated direct drive
- Compact design with small footprint
- Less energy consumption
- Easy exchangeable drive system
- Residual oil content downstream of separator <15 ppm
- Residual oil content downstream of separator <5 ppm by adding adsorption filter
- Constant monitoring of the overboard valve (similar to GEA SafetyMaster)
- Optional in combination with SafetyMaster: system-integrated or “stand-alone”
- MTP ready
Meeting the 5 ppm standard
As environmental regulations tighten, many shipping companies now require guaranteed residual oil content below 5 ppm. The GEA bilge Separator meets these strict requirements by incorporating an adsorption filter, ensuring compliance with even the most rigorous standards.
Modular design for customized configurations
The GEA bilge Separator is designed with modular components, allowing flexible installation in any bilge water processing system. The key components include feed pump, automatic filter, preheater, self-discharging separator, oil monitor and control panel.
These components are assembled into two modules (feed pump/preheater unit & separator unit) or can be supplied individually for maximum flexibility, even in confined spaces. An adaptive speed-regulating feed pump automatically adjusts to fluctuating feed conditions, ensuring consistent performance.
GEA SafetyMaster – Enhanced safety & compliance
Beyond superior separation performance, GEA SafetyMaster adds an extra layer of security:
- Prevents accidental discharge of oil-contaminated bilgewater
- Continuously monitors the separation process
- Automatically records processing data for up to 18 months
- Tamper-proof, lockable cabinet for enhanced security
Customized configurations for all bilge water processing systems
GEA bilge Separators feature a modular design. The main components: Feed pump, automatic filter, preheater, the self-discharging separator, oil monitor and the control panel are installed on two modules (feed pump / preheater unit, separator unit). These modules are assembled to form a complete unit and can also be supplied as individual modules upon request. This means that the system can be customized to meet the local circumstances in an optimum manner even in restricted spaces. An adaptive speed regulating facility of the feed pump adapts the system to the considerably fluctuating feed conditions of the product.

Resource efficient solution
As one of our most resource-efficient solutions, our GEA bilge Separator carries the Add Better label.*
The high-efficiency motor transfers energy directly to the bowl without the use of belts and clutches. This reduces the energy consumption of the GEA bilge Separator by 13% compared to the predecessor model.
The GEA bilge Separator has also extended the service interval from 8,000 hours to 16,000 hours and reduced the workload for regular cleaning by 95 percent.
*The Add Better label relates to the serial product GEA bilge Separator, released in September 2021. The comparison refers to its predecessor model, the GEA Bilge Master.
