Alfalaval HFO separator S825

Hi!
I am currently onboard as a 3E on a tanker vessel. I had a problem with one of our HFO separators. I have tried almost all of the possible problems stated in the manual and ones that I have read thru posts in the internet.
The purifier was running perfectly before I stopped one time when we are at port. Then, when I was about to run in again, the problem started. There was feed pressure but to no avail, back pressure is not rising. at first, I thought it was just the PT4 sensor, I replaced it and yet the same. I overhauled the bowl and replaced seals, still the same. I also replaced the flow valves and check the operation of the solenoid and they are still working fine. Do you have any idea what might be the problem?
Thank you in advance!
