Ideal for large frame turbines where mineral based lube oil and specified
synthetics are used. Prevent unit trip and fail-to-start conditions where a common
reservoir is used for lube and hydraulic control circuits. ICB media technology
treats oil on a molecular level, reversing the chemical process of varnish deposit
formation, improving servo valve response time, protecting lube oil anti-oxidant
additive packages, removing acids to improve oxidative stability, and improving oil
demulsibility. High efficiency post filter removes particles to deliver low ISO Codes
while extending the life of main bearing lube, pump discharge and servo pilot filters.
Varnish & Acid Scavenging Systems
SRV
Soluble Varnish Removal Systems
FSTO
Turbine Oil Varnish Removal Systems
A total solution for varnish deposit removal and prevention in mineral
based and specified synthetic compressor and small frame turbine lube oil
applications subject to varnish deposits in bearings, heat exchangers and control
valves. ICB media technology treats lube oil on a molecular level, reversing
the chemical process of varnish deposit formation, improving servo valve
response time, protecting lube oil anti-oxidant additive package, removing
acids to improve oxidative stability, and improving oil demulsibility. VTM postfilter
media removes insoluble (suspended) oxidation by-products, water, and
hard contamination to achieve incredibly low ISO Codes and clean lube oil.
FSAPE
Phosphate Ester Varnish Removal Systems
A dedicated solution for phosphate ester based fluids on turbine control, steel
mill hydraulics and other high heat applications. ICB media removes acids formed
in phosphate ester (hydrolysis) and dissolved metals leeched into the fluid from
Fuller’s earth, D-earth and Selexsorb acid remediation technologies which lead
to gels, deposits and poor air release in FRFs. ICB also restores fluid resistivity
and removes gels and deposits in control valves to improve servo valve response
time. VTM mechanical filter element media reduces ISO Codes and extends pump
discharge, servo pilot and last chance filter element life. TMRN2 manages water to
300 ppm and prevents contamination from air ingression. Use FSAPE to avoid unit
trip, expensive premature fluid replacement, flushes or bleed and feed routines.
FSJL
Aeroderivative Jet Lube Varnish Removal Systems
Aeroderivative turbines suffer from contamination related variable geometry
failures, bearing deposits and premature fluid replacement, all of which can be
caused by varnish. ICB media technology removes acids, molecular by-products,
and varnish deposits that form during jet lube fluid degradation. TMRN2
manages water to 300 ppm and prevents contamination from air ingression.
VTM mechanical filter element media reduces ISO Codes and extends pump
discharge, servo pilot and last chance filter element life. FSL is a total fluid
management solution for aeroderivative turbine jet lube applications.
ECR
Electrostatic Contamination Removal Systems
The primary application for the ECR is the removal of sub-micron carbon particles
that form as a result of micro dieseling in turbine EHC (electrohydraulic control)
systems using phosphate ester based fluids. The presence of sub-micron carbon
particles is evident by a general darkening of the fluid from its original amber
color or by black patch color when patch weight analysis is performed. ISO
fluid cleanliness codes might show very clean fluid when sub-micron carbon is
present as it is below the threshold particle counting per ISO 11171. Sub-micron
carbon can lead to deposits, low resistivity and poor air release properties.
ECR is the most effective way to remove the sub-micron carbon particles.
ICB
Ionic Charged Bonding Filter Elements
Ionic Charged Bonding (ICB) media is used to treat a range of fluids at the
molecular level by removing contaminant molecules that form as a by-product
of oxidation and fluid degradation. The heavy weight molecules to be removed
are polar oxides, acids and other free radicals that result in deposit formation
(varnish) and are detrimental to fluid performance. ICB media is designed to
selectively remove the contaminant without removing fluid additives. The use
of ICB results in fluids that perform better, last longer and yield trouble-free
operation for those who are responsible for maintaining them. We apply fluid
specific ICB media that remove acids, dissolved metals and varnish while improving
important fluid characteristics such as solubility, resistivity and demulsibility.
VTM
Particulate, Water, and Oxidation By-product Removal Media
VTM media configuration is a combination of technologies that mechanically
removes insoluble (suspended) oxidation by-products that form varnish
deposits in additized AW hydraulic oils and EP gear lubricants. VTM adsorbs
water and some polar molecules while removing particulate contamination
to β0.9[C] > 1000. Ideal for high heat hydraulic and gearbox lube applications
such as plastic injection molding, wind turbine, or coal mill applications. VTM
is available in FSW, FSL, and FCL dedicated and portable off-line systems and
is used in tandem with ICB media on FSTO, FSA, FSJL, and SVR solutions.
