Oil Purification Systems – Giving Power Generation Stations and Edge

The benefits of Oil Purification Systems are hard to ignore, especially in the current power generation industry.  Addressing the demand for maximum performance of all mechanical systems, these machines help minimize downtime of rotating equipment like steam turbines by keeping the lubrication and hydraulic oils clean and dry.  Oil Purification Systems remove free, dissolved, and emulsified water, as well as particulate and dissolved gases.  If not controlled, these contaminants will cause significant equipment damage, performance and safety issues.

PowerFlow’s XLP Series offers another advantage.  It is the easiest to operate and maintain out of all the Oil Purification Systems available.  Simply push the “Start” button.  The purifier will begin running and stabilize within a minute or two.  Check the gauges to make sure they are reading within the expected parameters.  If tower vacuum must be adjusted, this is accomplished by simply adjusting a needle valve.  Finally, vent air from the particulate filter housing by opening and closing the vent valve.  Done.  

From a maintenance standpoint you cannot beat PowerFlow’s Oil Purification Systems either.  Many of them have operated continuously for up to a year with no maintenance.  PowerFlow Fluid Systems’ XLP Series requires the least operator and maintenance attendance of any Oil Purification System.

High-end performance:

Unlike other systems, XLP Series do not require high heat nor deep vacuum.  The highly optimized vacuum mass transfer process employed by these units is very gently on the oil and very efficient.  They can also process oil up to 1000 cSt and pull oil from well below grade with no adjustments or adjunct equipment.  Oil foaming is not and issue in the least, as it is with most other vacuum dehydrator-based units.  

PowerFlow XLP Series Oil Purification Systems are simple, efficient and built to run.

In today’s power generation environment, any improvement, upgrade or optimization is significant.  Investing in an innovative lube and hydraulic Oil Purification System is certainly a value as it pertains to this reality.  Clean dry oil will help keep your generators running when the grid needs it the most.
