FILTERING BRAND NEW OIL – WHY AND HOW?

Many manufacturers of critical rotating equipment now expect end users to maintain very low particle counts in their hydraulic and lubrication oils for efficient operation and long-term reliability.  How can maintenance personnel meet this kind of requirement when even brand new oil typically does not meet OEM cleanliness specifications?  Read more to find out best practices for filtering brand new oil – why and how.

THE BASICS OF HIGH VELOCITY OIL FLUSHING 

High Velocity Oil Flushing is an essential process to ensure optimal reliability of critical components within the lube oil systems of rotating equipment and hydraulic systems.  This White Paper gives a definition of terms (like “Turbulent Flow” and “Reynolds Number”) as they pertain to lube and hydraulic oil piping, and it explains why High Velocity Oil Flushing is such an important process for maintenance and reliability professionals at the plant level.  It also gives answers to some frequently asked questions, and discusses various “best practices” and procedures associated with proper configuration and execution of a High Velocity Oil Flush.    

VARNISH CONTAMINATION 

These two case studies reveal how our Varnish Removal Systems will help mitigate varnish contamination by re-circulating the reservoir in a kidney-loop configuration, continuously removing impurities from the oil.
