EPT Clean Oil
In the first video in this series, “ICB® Ion-Exchange Filter Change Intervals Explained“, we explained how to establish effective turbine lubricant maintenance and testing through regimented oil analysis and ICB® ion-exchange filter change
→Life and Death for Lubricants Lubricants don’t die suddenly. In fact, they usually only die after relatively long periods of neglect. The challenge is that few oil-related problems arise in the first half
→The role of bearings in turbomachinery is critical as it supports the entire shaft load in various types of turbines. Proper bearing lubrication is vital to the operational integrity of a turbine, helping
→The most common physical contaminant in lubricants is particulate contamination. Significantly impacting lubricant reliability, particulate contamination impairs the ability to lubricate, leading to wear, failure and plugging. There are two basic categories of
→Dating back to the inception of EPT Clean Oil in 1994, Peter Dufresne has hit the ground running focused on one thing: Lubricant Chemistry Management. If you are in a room with him
→Water is the most damaging contaminant found in hydraulic and lubricating systems. In ester-based lubricants, water reverses the chemical process originally used to manufacture the ester. In mineral oils, water shortens lubricant life
→Optimize the Performance of Today’s Gas Turbines Fill, forget, dump, flush, repeat. This consumable approach to lubricant lifecycle management has a compounding effect on asset predictability and costs. From the first day, a
→Understanding your in-service oil’s condition and remaining lifetime with oil analysis and testing is essential to establishing alignment with future maintenance windows and proactive strategies for optimization. At EPT Clean Oil, we specialize
→Presented by Matthew Hobbs, Ph.D., Manager of Research, Development and Technical Services at EPT Clean Oil A Sustainable Approach to Turbine Lubricant Management Fact: Current CO2 emissions are not sustainable. Fact: To operate
→Despite the excellent lubricating and safety properties of a phosphate ester fluid, outdated or incomplete Electro-Hydraulic Control (EHC) fluid maintenance is a common problem in the power generation industry that is costing 100s
