FTY Series Vacuum Turbine Oil Purifier

Poorly maintained turbine oil translates to millions of dollars in lost production each week. And the losses don't stop there. In the absence of adequately specced and maintained filtration systems, you'll be saddled with high wastewater handling, virgin oil, and lube costs - not to mention the increased environmental costs that come with reduced efficiency. While each engine or generation system: gas turbine, steam turbine, hydro turbine, etc. has its unique pain points, a few fundamentals always apply. Turbine oil life is primarily determined by “oxidation stability”- the oil’s natural tendency to break down over time. Heat, water, aeration, and particle contamination all work to accelerate this breakdown. Meanwhile, oil additives like antioxidants, rust inhibitors, and the like resist these forces, increasing the turbine stability and extending service life. The biggest challenge comes in keeping all of these forces balanced over the long haul. Lubricating and hydraulic oils each have their individual challenges.  Among them are water and particulate contamination in the steam turbine lube oil reservoir and varnish, moisture by condensation, and particulate in gas turbine and control oil reservoirs.
