Description
When Alfa Laval launched the EPC1000 controller over 20 years ago, it was installed in numerous separators , such as the VNPX510 and VNPX710 , which are still mechanically sound and operational today. Unlike mechanical parts, the electrical components of these systems are very difficult to assess and maintain due to their age and obsolescence. Damage to a single component on a complex circuit board, for example, can cause separation system failures , product losses , downtime , and significant downtime. Finding replacement parts for these systems today is very difficult, as is carrying out repairs . Modern electronics have undoubtedly advanced in terms of modularity and cost-effectiveness.
Application
As a leader at the forefront of centrifugal separator automation and control systems , Alfa Laval offers a reliable and simple way to upgrade older generations of your control systems , providing significant advantages and extending the lifespan of your centrifugal separator .
The Alfa Laval EPC1000 RF is designed to replace the older EPC1000 controller. Modernizing the control system with EPC1000 RF technology offers the following advantages:
It ensures safe, reliable and efficient operation of the separator .
The touch panel makes it easy to operate the separator and adjust it to the process.
Extends the lifespan of the separation system .
Ensure the supply of spare parts in the future .
Remote assistance offers you fast and cost-effective support when you need it.
Plug&play concept: no need to replace piping or power cabinets.
Key Functions & Maintenance
The controller manages critical sequences for oil purification, including:
Process Monitoring: Tracks oil pressure, water content, and temperature.
Alarm Management: Provides real-time alerts for power failures, low oil pressure, and high sludge levels.
System Integration: It is designed to work with the PureBilge system and other S- and P-series separators to ensure environmental compliance (e.g., IMO MEPC resolutions).
Maintenance Support: Users should refer to the Separator Manual for specific safety instructions and the Spare Parts Catalogue (SPC) for identifying compatible service kits.
Benefits
The EPC1000 is considered obsolete, and Alfa Laval does not have a replacement available. A failure will leave the separator idle for weeks until a new controller can be installed.
The EPC1000 RF is based on current technology, providing operators with more available information, which will ensure that any problems related to the operation of the separator installation can be resolved more easily.
Access to more information about alarms and how to handle them makes daily operation much easier for the operator.
Alfa Laval provides the new pre-wired controller, proprietary control software with backup, and all technical documentation , including manuals . Installation is carried out by our technicians in just a few days.
Security in the programming carried out by the equipment manufacturer who fully understands its operation.
Availability of technical support for its maintenance , both mechanical and electrical, with the same contact person.
