Our partners at Eastern Resources have been making remarkable strides with the SVR® varnish removal system and our patented ICB® ion-exchange technology. Their deep local expertise and dedication have driven measurable improvements in oil reliability, demonstrating the real impact of SVR and ICB technology in one of the region’s most critical industrial hubs, Saudi Arabia. We look forward to sharing more of their success stories as they continue to unfold. 

Application: Gas Turbine 

Location: Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia 

Problem: EPT Clean Oils’ Fluid Technical Center identified, through oil analysis, high MPC values (13.7) in the turbine lubricant, indicating significant varnish potential and risk to turbine reliability.

Solution: Eastern Resources deployed an SVR 600, with our patented ICB Filters to reduce varnish levels and restore oil quality. With the backing of the Fluid Technical Center, the team at Eastern Resources was able to showcase what potential results could look like. Paired with ICB Filters, the SVR 600 functions as the enabler. While the ICB Filters provide the essential impact, the SVR ensures its advanced technology operates at peak performance.

While claiming a filter is just a filter may be simpler, it doesn’t hold up against our patented ICB ion-exchange filter. With thousands of installations worldwide and proven contaminant removal results, ICB combines top-tier chemistry and materials to provide the most durable filter available since 1992.

Results: Following implementation, the MPC value was reduced from 13.7 to 3.0, and the initiative was so successful that Eastern Resources secured another order for two SVR 600 units. The SVR 600 and ICB filters serve as an effective varnish mitigation solution, enabling extended oil life and improved turbine reliability.
