To help ensure long-term reliability and cost-effective operation of large rotating equipment, we design and build custom Bearing Lube Oil Systems in a wide variety of sizes and configurations which supply clean filtered lube oil to bearings at the proper flow rate, pressure, and temperature. Old and antiquated Bearing Lube Oil Systems often need to be replaced with newer technology equipment for optimal performance, and complete engineered systems typically include the follo

High Velocity Oil Flushing (HVOF) is performed to remove contaminants from the piping and tubing of critical hydraulic and lube oil systems. It is an essential maintenance process that is designed to extend the life of rotating equipment, keeping turbines, compressors, engines, etc. operating at their optimal level, and improving their overall reliability. Contaminants can and will enter hydraulic and lube oil piping in many different ways during construction, commissioning,.

Weather conditions throughout the country have been brutally cold so far in 2024, but that hasn’t kept our field service crews and equipment from performing High Velocity Oil Flushing on critical lube oil systems. We can’t wait for springtime and warmer weather! For more information on field services, click here. DID YOU KNOW? We Can Help: • Extend The Life of Rotating Equipment • Minimize Premature Failure of Critical Components • Reduce Emergency Outages and Downtime • Maxi

Hydraulic and lubrication systems are prone to water and solids contamination from ambient dust debris, component wear, & failing seals. Contaminated oil accelerates component wear and leads to premature system failures. Removing water & particles to improve oil quality is essential. Recirculating your hydraulic and/or lube oil with a Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System (VDOPS) will help you maintain optimal fluid cleanliness in your system, extending the life of your

When It comes to filtration systems, there is no one size fits all. Here at Oil Filtration Systems, our expert application engineers make sure to ask you all the right questions to get the information that we need to size a filtration system perfect for your application in order to help you reduce downtime and overall maintenance costs. We factor in the oil type and viscosity, reservoir size and flow rate, temperature range, and OEM specified ISO cleanliness codes to make sur

They say problems come in threes, well when it comes to your turbine or compressor lube oil reservoir, those 3 problems could easily be water, particulate and varnish contamination. Luckily, Oil Filtration Systems has an all-in-one solution that can help to remove all of these contaminants. Check out our video on the Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification Systems + Varnish Removal System all-in-one below.

DID YOU KNOW? The harmful effects of water, entrained gases, particulate, and varnish contamination in lubrication and hydraulic oils have been well documented. By removing all water contamination and entrained gases, the VDOPS from Oil Filtration Systems® helps maintain the oil’s original viscosity, ensuring its optimal performance and extending its life as a lubricant. A VDOPS will: 1. Remove Water: through the process of vacuum distillation, our Vacuum Dehydration Oil Puri

After 15+ years of continuous use, a long-standing customer returned this Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System (VDOPS) to us for refurbishing. It was still running well, so we only had to replace a few components, but with a new paint job, it now looks brand new. Great job to everyone on the team who worked on this project! DID YOU KNOW? We want to help you maximize the profitability of your on-site filtration systems. We rebuild, service and upgrade all of our own as w

Turnarounds are often the perfect time to perform much needed maintenance on the lube oil systems of critical hydraulic and rotating equipment. While systems are scheduled to be down and offline for several days, hydraulic and lube oil reservoirs can be drained, and experienced crews can then perform confined space entry tank clean-outs. At the same time, the oil can be thoroughly filtered to remove all particulate and moisture contamination, using High Flow Filter Skids and/

THE PROBLEM: Maintenance personnel at the Power House of a major university in New York noticed discoloration of the Mobil SHC 32 Lube Oil in their Solar Titan 130 Gas Turbine Generator after several years of operation. This prompted them to conduct oil analysis, and the lab results revealed an elevated varnish potential number of MPC 53. If left untreated, operators were worried that varnish would eventually plate out on the metal surfaces within the lube oil system, causing

DID YOU KNOW? Oil Filtration Systems offers both entry and non-entry reservoir cleaning services. Lubrication and other fluid systems with a reservoir are designed to have the contaminants in the system returned and trapped in the reservoir. The Contaminants accumulate on the bottom of reservoirs, even in systems that have efficient filtration, and eventually require cleaning. Reservoir cleaning is often overlooked in the maintenance process and can lead to machine failures d

We were called out to perform a High Velocity Fuel Oil Flush at a Data Center in Ohio. It is very important to make sure that all piping and supply lines within critical fuel systems are free of moisture, particulate contamination, and debris. For the exact same reasons that pre-commissioning and periodic maintenance flushing is necessary for hydraulic and lube oil system, it is also necessary for fuel systems in stand-by diesel generators and large diesel driven engines.

It's #FiltrationFactFriday here at OFS! DID YOU KNOW? By maintaining absolute fluid cleanliness, end-users can dramatically increase the life of critical wear components on rotational equipment, minimizing downtime and maximizing profitability. Oil Filtration Systems® designs and builds the most effective, durable, and user-friendly vacuum dehydrators on the market today. Special engineered design features maximize the water extraction rates of our oil purifiers, and top-qua
