Varnish & Acid Scavenging Systems SVR Soluble Varnish Removal Systems 102 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. FSTO Turbine Oil Varnish Removal Systems 108 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 post- filter media removes insoluble (suspended) oxidation by-products, water, and hard contamination to achieve incredibly low ISO Codes and clean lube oil. FSA Phosphate Ester Varnish Removal Systems 112 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 116 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 120 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 122 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 β3[C] > 4000. 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. 99
