When each separator part is due.
A marine separator runs 24/7, so the disc stack and seals are among the highest-turnover spares on the ship. This is the usual overhaul rhythm, what we inspect and the typical action.
| Component | Typical interval | What we inspect | Typical action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bowl disc stack | Every overhaul (8–12k hr) | Erosion, corrosion, deposits | Renew the disc set |
| Gravity disc | On oil / throughput change | Correct interface size | Re-size or renew |
| Main seal ring | Every overhaul | Hardening, leaks | Renew |
| Friction blocks | 24–36 months | Wear, glazing | Renew the set |
| Operating water valve | Annual | Sticking, scaling | Service or renew |
| Bowl spindle bearings | 5–10 yr / on vibration | Wear, noise | Renew bearings |
| O-ring / seal kit | Every overhaul | All elastomers | Renew the full kit |
