Oil Filtration Systems extends service range

The manufacturer of industrial oil and fuel filtration equipment can now provide factory-trained crews to employ its systems on a contract basis.Oil Filtration Systems adds that routine filtration and high velocity/hot oil flushing services are a critical part of preventive maintenance of all rotational equipment. The damaging effects of particulate contamination have been well documented as causes of premature component wear and failure. Periodic flushing can help ensure optimal system cleanliness by dislodging particles that would otherwise cling to walls of piping during laminar flow. Once dislodged, particles are removed via a series of high efficiency filter elements.Oil flushing is commonly performed on the lube oil systems of both gas and steam turbines. Additionally, it is employed for remediation of electro hydraulic controlled (EHC) systems at power plants, for hydraulic control panel flushes, and for cleaning of lube oil, hydraulic oil or diesel fuel reservoirs.
