Properties of oxidation result in varnish and degradation of lubrication properties. We offer testing, analysis equipment, additives, chemistry, rentals, service and equipment for purchase to help reverse varnish in lubricating oil.
Our VAS Series lowers MPC values in a short amount of time, MPC 42 to <15 in 2 weeks with two elements.
Lubricating oil varnish and particle contamination is a problem that most rotating equipment applications will experience at some point during normal operational life of production. These varnish and particle contamination issues can cause equipment component failures and serious downtime losses in productivity.
ESP technology relies on the principles of “chemisorption.” ESP selectively removes oil degradation products that are in suspension or in solution without disturbing the fluid’s additive system. For optimal performance, ESP media is fully customized for each application and is selected based on oil type and condition.
We offer a variety of fluid enhancements and additives for lubricating oil:
Constant sampling and evaluation is important to maintaining lubricating oil cleanliness. This includes monitoring contaminants such as particulate, moisture and varnish. We offer solutions for each:
Condition Monitoring is essential insuring oil cleanliness. Particle Counters are available in both portable and online options. Both offer moisture monitoring options.
The LPA3 is portable particle counter. Excellent for situations where multiply machines need to be tested by an operator or operator group.
The ICM is the online model that provides real time contamination data of individual systems. Many output options are available including USB, WIFI, MODBUS and Analogue.
We also offer oil analysis services for all the above.
Many times lubricating oil issues can be solved by upgrading existing filtration. Filters are either not specified correctly or they are old technology. We have a large cross reference database to cross most manufacturers’ part numbers. We also have the ability to custom build filter elements. Custom built filter elements are usually used in cases where the OEM is no longer available and/or utilize outdated filtration technology.
