Get the Wet Out with SVR® HYDRO
SVR® HYDRO coalesce system boasts three technologies in one advanced skid-mounted kidney loop filtration system offering a complete lubricant chemistry management solution. Through advanced filtration technologies, including molecular contamination adsorption with patented ICB® ion-exchange filtration, proprietary mechanical coalescing and micro-filtration, SVR HYDRO restores and protects lubricants from acid, varnish, particulate, and free and emulsified water, in an energy-efficient and expedient manner.
- Varnish and Acid Control
- Water Separation and Removal
- Particulate Removal
- Additive Protection
The SVR HYDRO eliminates breakdown products that previously limited the effectiveness of water separation technologies, including coalescers. It focuses on oil-water separation, water removal, and lubricant chemistry management.
SVR HYDRO: Complete Three-Stage Filtration System Offering Comprehensive Lubricant Chemistry Management
Integrating emulsion-reducing ICB ion exchange and TMR® AquaPurge coalescer technologies creates a synergistic effect, enhancing the overall efficiency of water removal in lubricating oil systems.

1.
Pre-treatment with patented ICB ion-exchange: reduces the amount of emulsified water before the oil even reaches the coalescer.
- ICB ion-exchange resins remove the dissolved contaminants that stabilize oil-water emulsions, allowing the coalescer to function more effectively.
- This pre-treatment breaks down stable oil-water emulsions, reducing the load on the TMR AquaPurge Coalescer and improving its efficiency.
2.
TMR AquaPurge Coalescer: removes the remaining free water and any less stable emulsions.
- This two-step process ensures a more thorough removal of free and emulsified water than previously possible.
- The coalescer more effectively merges and separates water into larger droplets after the ICB ion-exchange process.
3.
High-efficiency Particulate Removal: removes any remaining solid contamination.
- The final phase, the clean-up phase, involves the fluid passing through a high-efficiency particulate filter element to remove contaminants that precipitated during Phase 2 or Phase 3.

This case explores how advanced solutions with the SVR HYDRO helped resolve the issue and prevent further disruptions.
Operational Advantages of SVR HYDRO
- Enhanced Water Removal: The combination of ICB ion-exchange and TMR AquaPurge Coalescer technologies allows for more effective water removal, addressing the dissolved and emulsified water that a single technology will likely struggle with.
- Prolonged Oil Life: This hybrid approach effectively removes water and other contaminants, maintaining the lubricant’s quality and extending its service life.
- Reduced Maintenance and Increased Uptime: Better water removal minimizes the risk of failure, corrosion, oxidation, and other water-related issues, reducing maintenance and downtime. SVR HYDRO also extends service intervals with a maintenance-friendly design and redundant fail safes, mitigating mechanical failure risks and providing worry-free operation.
- Significant Energy Savings: Uses only 15% of the energy required for traditional water-removal technologies.
- Reduced Footprint: An integrated solution that addresses all water-removal needs by preventing emulsion formation and effectively removing any water that enters a lube oil system.
- Automatic Water Leg Drain: EPT Clean Oil’s unique PLC control logic allows for worry-free, unattended operation with auto water drain features and redundant fail-safe control logic. The SVR HYDRO also offers a built-in water leg counter to track water removal performance and efficiency.

WatchSVR® HYDRO Features and Benefits:
- Addresses the root cause of poor oil-water separation, knocking down oxidative material to break and prevent emulsion formation.
- A simple, sophisticated, easy-to-operate system marries three filtration phases into one advanced lube oil conditioning system to deliver reduced lifecycle costs.
- 15% of the energy consumption of vacuum dehydration and single-pass water removal efficiencies of up to 90%, allowing for multi-pass water removal to < 200 ppm.
- Automatic water leg drain, leg counter tracking cycles, redundant fail-safes, offering worry-free operations.
- Extended oil service intervals, reduced equipment maintenance requirements and increased performance and uptime.
TMR® AquaPurge Coalescer
The TMR® AquaPurge Coalescer is an innovative, integrated coalesce and separator technology that rapidly and efficiently removes two forms of water: emulsified and free. Utilizing synthetic hydrophobic membranes to repel water while allowing oil to pass through, this multi-chamber coalescer offers single-pass water-removal efficiencies of up to 90%, allowing for multi-pass water removal to < 200 ppm.
Integrating emulsion-reducing ICB® ion exchange and TMR AquaPurge Coalescer technologies creates a synergistic effect. ICB ion exchange removes the dissolved contaminants that stabilize oil-water emulsions, and TMR AquaPurge Coalescer removes the remaining free water and less stable emulsions, enhancing the overall efficiency of water removal in lubricating oil systems.
