EPC 60 Retrofit State-of-the-art control for older centrifugal separators

Background

Alfa Laval separators, such as the MAPX, MMPX, WHPX,

MOPX, FOPX, LOPX and MFPX, were developed decades

ago and are equipped with older control systems.

Unlike mechanical parts, it is difficult to assess the condition

of the electrical components of these systems. Damage to a

single component on a complex circuit board, for instance,

can affect the entire separation system and cause downtime.

Rather than wasting time to determine which electrical

component  requires replacement, it is common practice

in the marine and diesel industry to replace the entire card

often without considering other options.

Application

As a leader at the forefront of marine separator automation

and control systems, Alfa Laval offers a reliable way to

upgrade older generations of its control systems with new

state-of-the-art control technology. The Alfa Laval EPC 60

Retrofit kit is specifically designed to replace all Alfa Laval

separator electronic control systems in older separators,

including the IPC 231. EPC 30. EPC 41 and EPC 400.

Modernizing previous generations of Alfa Laval separators

and control systems with EPC 60 control technology:

• Ensures safe, reliable and efficient operation of the separator

• Makes the separator easier to operate

• Prolongs separator system lifetime

• Secures future spare parts supply
