INCREASE PLANT RELIABILITY

Water is one of the most common and damaging contaminants found in a lube or hydraulic system. Continuous or periodic high water levels can result in damage such as:

Metal etching (corrosion)
Abrasive wear in hydraulic components
Dielectric strength loss
Fluid breakdown
Additive precipitation and oil oxidation
Reduction in lubricating properties

Seventy five (75%) of all hydraulic component failures are caused by fluid contamination. The effects of moisture in your oil systems can drastically reduce on stream plant availability. Bearing life and critical component life is greatly reduced by moisture levels above and within the saturation point.

Many systems run constantly above this point due to inefficient dehydration technologies and high ingression. This develops acidity and loss of lubrication properties.

LIFE EXTENSION TABLE

Free water occurs when oil becomes saturated and cannot dissolve any additional water. This water makes the oil appear cloudy and can even be seen in puddle form at the bottom of a reservoir. Water which is absorbed into the oil is called dissolved water. At elevated temperatures, oil has the ability to hold more water in the dissolved state due to the expansion of the oil molecules. As the oil cools, it loses its capacity to hold water and free water will appear where previously not visible. Fluid type also determines saturation point in addition to temperature changes.

Centrifuges only remove free water that is well above the saturation point leaving harmful quantities of free and dissolved water in the oil. Desorbers and coalescing filters can achieve water levels of 150 ppm, but the process is much slower than vacuum dehydration. Our Vacuum Dehydrators rapidly remove water down to 20 ppm (0.002%) with efficiency to control water levels under normal ingression and regain control of high ingression conditions in hours instead of weeks or months.
