Operation
The Alfa Laval MOPX 207 Centrifuge is a self-cleaning, disc-stack centrifuge ideal for the continuous, three-phase separation of fuels and mineral oils.
With a 7.5 HP Motor, the MOPX 207 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 6,325 and can process 32 GPM of Distillate.
The Alfa Laval MOPX-207 is a versatile, 'self-cleaning' centrifuge that is small enough to be manually serviced without the need for lifting devices (cranes, hoists, etc.)
However, it can process over 30 Gallons per Minute of condensate.
Applications
The MOPX-207 finds a variety of applications in fuel and lubrication purification applications. Some of the popular applications are:
- Diesel Fuel
- Waste Oil
- Black Diesel
- WVO or Yellow Grease
- Biodiesel Glycerol
- Heavy Fuel Oil
- Matching Coolant
- Quenching Oil
- Light Crude Oil

The Alfa Laval MOPX 207 is designed for mineral oil and fuel separation applications. Therefore, the material used in its construction is well suited for such uses. The following table lists the various components of the centrifuge and the material it is made of.
| Component | Material |
|---|---|
| Bowl Body & Bowl Hood | 316L Duplex Stainless Steel |
| Disc Stack | 316L Duplex Stainless Steel |
| Distributor or Disc Carrier | Marine Grade Bronze or 316 Stainless Steel (Special Order) |
| Top Disc | Marine Grade Bronze or 316 Stainless Steel (Special Order) |
| Top Covers (Collecting) | Silium (Aluminum Alloy) |
| Frame | Nodular Cast Iron |
Installation Requirements
- Electrical
- 460 V / 3-phase standard; 240 V / 3-phase available. Single-phase sites: customer can add a phase converter.
- Operating water
- 50 psig, clean potable filtered water - city water works best, soft water only.
- Compressed air
- 100 psig, ~15 cfm (portable compressor is fine). Primary use: AODD sludge pumps on self-cleaning machines.
- Feed
- Hotter separates better - WVO/thick/emulsified oils ideal ~180°F; HFO 200°F+. Pre-strain dirty feed to under 250 microns. A PLC-controlled feed pump is usually built into the skid; if customer-supplied, use positive-displacement/AODD pumps - avoid centrifugal pumps on emulsion-prone fluids.
- Drain
- Separated sludge via AODD pump, 1 to 1.5 inch outlet. Separated water: 1 to 1.5 inch pressurized, or 3 to 4 inch gravity drain.
- Foundation & environment
- Level concrete pad is usually sufficient; small units available on portable cart skids. Indoor install preferred. Outdoor installs must be in a climate-controlled/heated enclosure to prevent freezing - freezing is a safety hazard.
Alfa Laval WHPX 407 Partial-Discharge Disc-Stack Centrifuge
The Alfa Laval WHPX 407 Centrifuge is a self-cleaning disc-stack centrifuge designed for the three-phase separation of fuel oils, such as light fuel oil (LFO).
With a 10 HP Motor, the WHPX 407 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 7,125 and can process 25 GPM of ISO 180 cSt Light Fuel Oil.
Also, the WHPX-407 is a partial-discharge centrifuge. This means that this centrifuge is capable of discharging only the accumulated sludge and minimizing fluid loss.
Applications
Similar to the Alfa Laval MOPX-207, the WHPX-407 finds many applications in all kinds of 3-phase separation duties. Some of the popular applications are:
Alfa Laval WHPX-407 Specifications
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Model Type | Alfa Laval WHPX 407 TGD 24-60 |
| Rated Capacity | 25 GPM on 180 cSt Light Fuel Oil |
| Sludge Space | 1.30 Gallons |
| Motor HP: | 10 HP |
| Voltages: | 230 / 460 V |
Alfa Laval WSPX 207 TGP Partial-Discharge Disc-Stack Centrifuge
The Alfa Laval WSPX 207 Centrifuge is a self-cleaning disc-stack centrifuge designed for the three-phase concentration of water-based liquids such as machine coolants and washer liquids.
With a 7.5 HP Motor, the WSPX 207 centrifuge has a bowl RPM of 6,400 and can process 20 GPM of water-based machining coolant.
Applications
The Alfa Laval WSPX-207 is very similar to the WHPX-407, except that this centrifuge is a concentrator. A concentrator centrifuge is designed to separate a small oil volume from a large volume of water or water-based fluid. Some of the popular applications are:
- Machining Coolant
- Parts Washer Fluid
- Water-based Drawing Lubricant
