Vision
Teaching the world a better way.
History
It all began in 1992, when Peter Dufresne Sr discovered the step change benefit of using exchange purification technology on turbine lubricants – a result of his intimate familiarity and experience with lubricants and lubricant related failure. Successfully adopted fleet wide on 100 gas turbine compressor packages, Peter’s exchange purification began to garner further attention. When the request came from the US Department of Defense to demonstrate exchange purification on the US Navy’s carrier fleet in 1994, the possibilities for his innovation were placed on the map. This marked the beginnings of EPT Clean Oil and the launch of the ICB® filter.
Focused on providing expert advice, personable customer service and cost saving solutions that resolve lubrication issues, EPT Clean Oil mobilized on the world stage. The result – tens of millions of hours of proven performance on super-critical applications including airports, aircraft carriers, gas turbines and EHC systems at the largest power generation facilities in the world.
Today, we continue to evolve, offering advanced filtration products that remove the contamination left behind in lubricants and control fluids, focused on the root cause of mechanical failure and lubricant-related failure. Our products and services have become a game changer for our customers, offering significant cost savings and return on investment.
