Lubricant varnish is an oil quality issue.
Fact or Fiction?
Fiction. While lubricant quality is critical, in reality, all lubricants break down due to oxidation, even with additives. Oxidation starts the first day a lubricant is put into service, forming dissolved breakdown products – soluble varnish.
Over time the soluble varnish accumulates, coating equipment surfaces with insoluble varnish deposits. The key to prevent varnish formation is to break and reverse this accumulation cycle. This will remove existing varnish deposits and prevent recurrence.
Mitigate fail to start, unit trips, production losses, and lost generation capacity by proactively removing soluble varnish, eliminating the underlying cause of lubricant varnish while improving lubricant performance and life.


Beyond varnish removal.
What’s in it for you?
Existing oil life intervals do not coincide with equipment maintenance windows or equipment life. However, the rate at which lubricants age can be minimized through pro-active contamination removal strategies. Generate operational efficiencies while protecting the production value of your equipment with effective lubricant lifecycle management.
EPT Clean Oil works alongside our customers to rethink lubricant lifecycle management and contamination removal strategies. We are committed to providing solutions that transform operational results, using data to drive solutions that remove the root cause and eliminate unpredictable lubricant related failures.
