Oil purification does not have to be complicated or difficult. In fact, it can be very simple! There is an oil purifier on the market today that offers simple on/off operation and only requires one utility...power. This purifier can remove water, gases/hydrocarbons, and particulate, bringing your oil back to "like" new condition without impacting the oils properties or additives and significantly improving machinery reliability and MTBF.
Water Removal
Water is reported by many industries as the #1 contaminate found in oil systems...and it can be the most difficult to remove. Free water can be removed by most of the older technologies such as centrifuges and coalescers; however, to get the dissolved water out and stop the rust, corrosion and additive depletion you must use a technology that can remove all forms of water to very dry levels. Zero water = Maintenance Savings!!
Degasification
Seal oil leakage and the continuing problem of sour oil disposal can be a maintenance nightmare. Improved seal designs are the solution to this challenge however, until that machine comes down at turnaround...an oil purifier that can degas can save you major dollars by eliminating new oil purchases, sour oil disposal, and your employee's handling this hazardous gas ladened oil. Keep the oil in the tank and send the gases to the flare...it's that simple!
