The GEA Westfalia OTA 14-00-066 is a solid-wall disc-stack centrifugal separator (also called a disc centrifuge) designed for clarifying liquids and removing solids from oil and other fluid mixtures. It uses centrifugal force to efficiently separate heavier contaminants (solids and water) from lighter liquid phases such as oil.

GEA Westfalia OTA 14-00-066

Key Features

• Type: Solid-wall disc centrifuge with a self-cleaning bowl.

• Capacity: Around ~5,600 L/h (24 GPM) typical, depending on installation and conditions.

• Bowl Speed: Maximum approx. ~8,380 – 8,510 rpm for high-efficiency separation.

• Motor: Typically driven by a 5 HP electric motor (230/460 V, 3-phase).

• Construction: Stainless-steel contact parts for corrosion resistance.

• Discharge: Often gravity discharge for liquid phases.

What it does:
The separator spins contaminated liquids rapidly so that heavier materials (like solids and water) move outward and separate from lighter phases (like cleaned oil). It is especially used to clarify and refine fuel oil and other process liquids.

 Marine Department Uses

In marine environments such as onboard ships and offshore platforms, the OTA 14-00-066 is typically used for:

🔹 Fuel Oil Purification

• Removes solids and impurities from marine fuel oils before they reach engines or generators.

• Clean fuel improves combustion efficiency and reduces wear on injectors and pumps.

🔹 Lube Oil Clarification

• Helps keep lubricating oils free from contaminants, protecting bearings, gears, and auxiliaries.

🔹 Auxiliary Oil Systems

• Used in hydraulic systems and small oil circuits where fluid cleanliness is critical under load and motion.

🔹 General Fluid Quality Control

• Aids in maintaining engine-room oil quality, especially for heavy fuels and blended oils that accumulate contaminants at sea.

➤ Marine separators must operate reliably under vibration and motion — disc-stack centrifuges like the OTA series are suitable for such conditions and help improve engine uptime and reliability.

 Industrial Department Uses

In industrial settings, the OTA 14-00-066 separator is used wherever clean liquid phases and contaminant removal are required:

🔸 Fuel Oil Treatment

• Clarifies diesel, fuel oils, and burner fuels in industrial engines, turbines, and generators to improve performance and reduce fouling.

🔸 Process Oil Clarification

• Removes solids from hydraulic oils, gear oils, and other lubricants used in manufacturing and processing equipment.

🔸 Liquid-Solid Separation

• Separates solids from liquids in chemical, petrochemical, or refinery processes where mixtures must be purified before use or further processing.

🔸 Recycling & Waste Oil Recovery

• Used to reclaim usable oil from waste streams by removing solids and water, reducing disposal costs and improving environmental compliance.

📍 Many industrial plants benefit from the compact design and ease of maintenance of Westfalia solid-wall disc centrifuges.

Benefits of Using OTA 14-00-066
