Automated ALCAP Separation

S Flex Range

Advanced fully automated oil separation modules utilizing ALCAP technology to handle highly variable oil densities.

Unmatched Separation Automation

The Alfa Laval S Flex separation range represents the pinnacle of automated oil purification. Equipped with patented ALCAP technology, S Flex systems continuously monitor water content in the clean oil outlet, automatically adjusting the water oil interface without requiring manual gravity discs.

This makes the S Flex range exceptionally well suited for heavy fuel oils (HFO), very low sulfur fuel oils (VLSFO), biofuels, and applications with highly variable fluid densities. The system is managed by the EPC 60 controller, offering advanced cybersecurity, detailed status reporting, and modular integration.
