Mini Brute Oil Water Separator-IMO MEPC 107(49) Certified.

​For smaller vessels with smaller requirements, our new Mini-BRUTE oily water separator is sized and priced to fit. Taking up only 38″ x 38″ x 10″ the Mini-BRUTE meets all international standards and is USCG approved and certified to meet the tough IMO/MEPC 107 (49) requirements.

Smaller vessels : think fishing vessels / & fleets, yachts, tour boats, harbor tugs and other formerly uninspected vessels/boats who have historically NOT been mandated to have oily water separators are now being visited and looked at by the USCG. Learn More

FEATURES: USCG Approved, IMO Certified Oil Content Monitor with 18 month data logging, Flow rate up to 0.25m3/hr (1 GPM), Electric Diaphragm Pump at 45 PSI, Fine solids and Oil Removal by Simple Filtration,
Large Capacity Oil Removal Filters, Less than 5PPM Oil Discharge.
The IMO Res. MEPC.107(49) resolution regulates the design and performance of the oily water separators (OWS)and the 15 ppm Bilge Alarms for machinery space bilges of ships. Each ship must have a certified 15 ppm bilge alarm for measuring the oil content in the discharge water. The 15 ppm Bilge Alarm type BilgMon 488 is approved and certified in accordance with the latest IMO resolution MEPC.107(49) and in addition, designed to meet the particular needs from the crew when processing the bilge water.
These oil content monitors are our default monitor for our BRUTE OWS and Bilge Filter and come with a 5 year certification which means it is certified to meet IMO/MEPC 107 (49) requirements for 5 years——-as long as the seal on the unit is not broken or missing. After 5 years it has to be re-calibrated to be certified as compliant with regulations. Big trouble awaits you if your monitor is out of certification because you would then be out of compliance with IMO/MEPC 107 (49) requirements and operating illegally. While there are a few recalibration services around, doing that takes you out of operation. The solution or work-around for that is simply getting a new measuring cell and simply installing it on your oil content monitor and you are then instantly recertified for another 5 years——-as long as you don’t break the seal on the measuring cell. It’s a simple quick installation and you’re back in business and back to being certified. Contact us directly for a certified replacement measuring cell.
2.2 gpm, 5 gpm, 10 gpm, 25 gpm, & 45 gpm. Available with or without oil content monitor. Custom sizes available – to hundreds of GPM.

General Description

BRUTE Bilge Oil Water Separators (BBOWS) Removal Systems are industrial marine grade oil water separators that have a variety of applications. Fully US Coast Guard certified with vessels and piping in the standard oil water separator unit being constructed from carbon steel to ASME specifications and are coated with an industrial strength epoxy coating.
NEW BRUTE IMO MEPC 107(49) Certified 107 Series Bilge Oil Water Separator
In January of 2005, many countries began requiring new ships and ships replacing oil water separators (over 400 tons) to meet the IMO MEPC 107(49) regulations. This regulation requires removal of not only free oil as the previous regulation did, but also what is called “fluid C”. Also oil content monitors are required to track results of separation. This new requirement has significantly raised the price of a bilge separator and limited the separators to choose from. The BRUTE Series 107 brings you the best, economical system available today to meet this new requirement. Our filter exchange program makes it easy.
Platform BRUTE–Oil Water Separators for Offshore Oil Platforms
SkimOIL Platform BRUTE Oil/Water Separation System is specifically designed for installation on offshore oil platforms. These systems use a proven coalesing technology for simple, effective, efficient, low maintenance separation of oil and water. Systems are engineered specifically to meet your specifications. Typical systems include the following:
  • Automatic Operation with auto backflush and recycle
  • NEMA 7 Class I Division II Explosion Proof Controls & Electrical
  • Explosion Proof Oil in Water Monitoring to 15 PPM (5 PPM with Polishing)
  • IMO Approval and US Coast Guard Certification
  • Skid Mounted Epoxy Coated Steel Vessels
  • Marine Bronze or SS Piping and Valves
  • Post Separation Multimedia Filtering for Particle/Contaminant Removal
  • Turbidity and pH Monitoring and UV Disinfection
  • Flow meters/Transmitters for Water Inlet and Discharge and Oil Discharge
BRUTE Series “HF” Marine/Industrial High Flow Oil Water Separator
This new option can save a tremendous amount of money on a separator in the situation when large amounts of water need to be processed that are mostly clean, but must be monitored and processed if oil content is above the limit. As an example 400 gpm can be processed from a pond or tank and moniored continuously. The separator is bypassed until it is needed and then processes the oily water at 45 gpm when needed.
BRUTE Series “I” Industrial Oil Water Separator without Oil Content Monitor
For all kinds of industrial applications these series “I” model separator systems are built to be for totally automatic operation. No consummables or maintenance. Just set them and forget them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the BRUTE oil water separator?

Designed to fit a small space on ships, the BRUTE is a simple, very effective solution for bilge applications. In addition, we have found the oil separating capability of the unit suited to many other applications, both marine and oil & gas and industrial.

In what applications can the BRUTE separator be used?
While the primary use for the BRUTE system is still bilge oily water separation, the BRUTE unit can be used in any application where oil and water need separating. The simplicity of the system and its flexibility have made it popular in applications from compressor oil to car/truck wash to large platforms and FPSOs and everything in between.
Do I have to provide exact specs or can you help me with specifications that will meet my needs?
You may provide us with exact specifications for your proposed separator and we will be happy to provide a bid. Or if you call our expert staff we can help you design the specifications that will work for your application.
What if I need a different size than the 5 sizes you offer?
The standard separator ranges from 2-45 gpm. These are the units we stock and sell the most. We can however, easily design a different size and propose a solution to much larger applications.
How does this separator handle emulsified oil?
Emulsified oil can be separated in the BRUTE system by applying various pre and post separation treatments and filtering. The standard IMO MEPC 107(49) certified unit comes standard with a post filter that will remove emulsions. Many other applications also include the need for filters.
Just how much motion can these units handle and still operate effectively?
The BRUTE oily water separators were designed to handle motion and vibration on ships and will continue to operate even at a 30 degree tilt. These are rugged, well built units that can stand up to all kinds of harsh environments.
