Long Win Thai  

Partnering with Long Win Thai over the years has been an incredible journey. Their dedication to supporting our mission in Asia has been unwavering, and their achievements speak volumes. Most recently, Long Win Thai achieved outstanding results with the SVR® and our patented ICB® ion-exchange filters, setting new standards in reliability and performance. We’re excited to continue showcasing their success stories. 

Application: Gas Turbine 

Location: Thailand  

Problem: The MPC varnish potential was between 10 and 15, indicating a moderate varnish potential level, while the particle count reached NAS 12, which signifies high contamination. Conventional filtration was unable to address the varnish contamination. 

Solution: With the assistance of the Fluid Technical Center at EPT Clean Oil™, an ACE™ Oil Assessment was conducted to identify the source of contamination, during which varnish was identified as the primary issue. The varnish present could not be removed using standard filters. To address this, we deployed SVR with ICB filters specifically designed to target varnish removal and restore the oil quality. When combined with the ICB technology, the SVR acts as the catalyst. The ICB filters deliver the core performance, and the SVR optimizes their capabilities for maximum efficiency. 

Results: Within one month, the particle count decreased from NAS 12 to NAS 7. After three months, it further dropped to NAS 5, with the MPC declining to 6.2. Additionally, SVR treatment was confirmed to be compatible with the oil additive package and water separation properties, validating the SVR’s ability to remove both soluble and insoluble varnish. The customer approved the purchase of two additional SVR units for ongoing operation. This ensures the long-term reliability of the critical turbine.
