Oil Filtration Systems Videos

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-quality components and workmanship ensure years of maintenance-free operation and performance. 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 rotating equipment and critical component parts, minimizing downtime and saving you money.

Here at Oil Filtration Systems, we own and operate the largest fleet of oil filtration and purification equipment in North America. We take pride in our equipment and have put procedures in place to ensure equipment is maintained in like NEW condition. The steps we take ensure performance when you need it. Before our rental equipment is sent to you, it is run through a series of cleanings, testing, repair, and validation. Documentation follows each system, and we track the data. When renting equipment from OFS, you can rest assured it will work.

Paul Spicer goes through how to start up, run, and operate the Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System (VDOPS) from Oil Filtration Systems.

Using the Patch Test Method, a user can reliably assign a three-digit cleanliness code to any given sample based on photomicrograph comparisons of known samples. These known samples are the results of particle counts achieved by standards as set forth in ISO 4406-1999.

The most comprehensive fleet of oil and fuel purification equipment in the industry. With over 120 systems stationed in three depot locations in North America to quickly meet your needs.

It is known that Oil Filtration System is an industry leader in Oil Filtration and Purification Equipment Sales, Rentals and Services. But did you know we also have a full line of diesel fuel filtration and purification equipment as well? Whether you’re looking to rent or purchase fuel coalescer vessels, filtration systems designed specifically for fuels, or even have your fuel polished by the professionals we have got you covered.

Lubricant varnish has become a significant maintenance problem in many critical hydraulic and lubrication oil applications, such as gas turbines, paper machines and compressors. Turbine oil varnish has been a particularly high profile issue over the last decade. A very small amount of varnish that settles in a susceptible zone, such as a fuel control or IGV valve, can prevent the system from starting properly, resulting in a fail-to-start condition or in some cases a unit trip. Our Varnish Removal Systems (VRS) were developed to address the need to properly remove varnish (also known as lacquer, sludge, or tar) commonly found in various lubrication and hydraulic systems. Our process utilizes either granular adsorbent media or depth media filter elements to effectively remove dissolved and suspended oil degradation products (i.e. the cause of varnish). Varnish removal is accomplished with oxidatively stable media, engineered to selectively remove only the varnish-causing contaminants without disturbing the oil’s additive package.

Achieving low particle counts of less than 6-micron particles in high viscosity oils can be problematic. Filter elements with enhancing filter element void volume and support were evaluated through lab and field testing. With the enhanced elements, end-users are maintaining cleanliness levels of ISO 16/15/12 on ISO 680 oils.

We quickly hooked up one of our 600 GPM Filter Skids with our 36 kW heater and flushing tank. Within 24 hours, we were able to flush the system and test the oil. Optimal purification cleanliness was achieved, verified by our onsite particle laser counter. We verified all piping was clean and got the system back on-line. The machine has been running with no issues since.

OFS manufacturers and uses specialty flushing equipment designed for use with phosphate ester and other synthetic EHC fluids (including Fyrquel®).

By maintaining absolute fluid cleanliness, end-users can dramatically increase the life of critical wear components on rotational equipment, minimizing downtime and maximizing profitability.
