Pollution Control

minimaXx Scoops 'Product of the Year'

01 Mar 2003

The minimaXx separator type OSD 2 from Germany's Westflia Separator has scooped the prestigious Product of the Year 2002 award at a ceremony in Washington DC USA sponsored by the highly regarded trade journal 'Filtration and Separation'.

Westfalia Separator Mineraloil Systems managers and engineers are shown with their winning product.

The minimaXx separator type OSD2 is one of the smallest self-cleaning mineral oil systems, offering an economic and efficient solution for the treatment of small product streams. It has an hourly capacity of up to 1,150 litres, and is specially rated for automatic, unmanned operation. The system is ideally suited for the treatment of fuel and lube oil in small and medium sized craft such as coastal boats, fishing boats and ferries.

The small series is also suitable for treating bilge water to prevent the pollution of rivers, harbours, ports and seas. Another marine industries application is the treatment of gear oil in offshore windpower turbines.
