Industrial Oil Purification Machine & Systems
Solid Particles (Yes — Very Effective)
Examples:
Metal wear debris (iron, copper, aluminum)
Dust, sand, silica
Carbon particles and soot
Rust and corrosion flakes
How filtration works:
Mechanical filters (3–25 microns)
Depth media or absolute-rated filters
Result:
✔ Easily removable
✔ Primary target of oil filtration
✔ Directly reduces wear and component failure
Most equipment damage is caused by particles between 5–15 microns—well within filtration capability.
Water & Moisture (Yes — With the Right Technology)
Forms of water in oil:
Free water
Emulsified water
Dissolved moisture
Removable by:
Coalescing filters (free & emulsified water)
Vacuum dehydration systems (dissolved moisture)
Result:
✔ Effective with proper systems
⚠ Standard particle filters alone are not enough
Removing water dramatically slows oxidation and prevents corrosion.
Sludge & Varnish Precursors (Partially)
What they are:
Oxidation by-products
Degraded oil molecules
Soft contaminants before hard varnish forms
Remo
Fine filtration
Electrostatic oil cleaners
Adsorptive media
Result:
✔ Partially removable
⚠ Once hardened varnish forms, filtration efficiency drops
Oxidation By-Products (Limited)
Examples:
Acids
Insoluble resins
Oil degradation compounds
Filtration capability:
Can remove insoluble oxidation particles
Cannot reverse oil chemical breakdown
Result:
⚠ Limited
✖ Filtration does not restore oil chemistry
Filtration extends oil life—but doesn’t “make old oil new.”
5. Fuel & Chemical Contamination (Mostly No)
Examples:
Diesel dilution
Coolant leaks (glycol)
Additive depletion
Chemical cross-contamination
Filtration capability:
✖ Not removable by standard filtration
✖ Requires oil change or specialized separation processes
