50GPM Rental VDOPS Gets The Water Out Of Turbine Oil At An Energy Plant In The Midwest

A recent inquiry through our Contact Us page came from a Maintenance Manager at an energy facility in the Midwest United States. The facility was referred to Oil Filtration Systems by a colleague at a sister plant that had previously used our oil filtration rental equipment to resolve similar contamination issues.

Identifying Water Contamination in Turbine Oil Systems

The maintenance team reported elevated water contamination in turbine oil, caused by a leaking steam seal. With the steam system temporarily out of service, the facility relied on an in-house 30 GPM oil dehydrator to reduce moisture levels to an acceptable PPM range for startup. However, there was concern that if the steam seal continued leaking, the existing dehydrator would not provide sufficient capacity to keep the turbine online, increasing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime.

Rental Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System Solution

To support continuous operation, Oil Filtration Systems supplied a 50 GPM Vacuum Dehydration Oil Purification System (VDOPS) rental for efficient water removal from turbine oil. The higher-capacity system enabled faster moisture reduction while maintaining oil cleanliness, helping the facility avoid extended outages.

Oil Filtration Systems offers same-day shipment, hot-shot delivery, and expert technical support to assist with equipment selection, setup, and startup when needed. We maintain the industry’s largest and best-maintained fleet of advanced oil purification and dehydration rental systems for power generation and industrial applications.
