Lube Oil Filtration Services

LUBE OIL FILTRATION
Fairtex Group provides Lube Oil Filtration services commonly needed for bearings & gears, as well as for cooling & control applications. Compressors and turbines demand a critical level of lubrication oil quality to properly reduce maintenance related downtimes and increase equipment lifetime.

Despite API 614, we will apply to industry standards like API 617, API 618 and API 619. We fulfill the highest requirements for Lube Oil filtration, serving both onshore and offshore applications all around the world.

Filtration as protection of rotating equipment
For the protection of the bearings and components within the compressor or turbine hydraulic system, proper filtration is essential. Particle removal efficiency of 10 µm and below is a common requirement in today’s rotating equipment industry, leading to reduced wear and prolonged lifetime.

Lubrication System Protection

Lube Oil is commonly re-circulated in a closed circuit to the bearings. The closed circuit generally consists of a lube oil tank, a pump unit, heat exchanger with transfer valves and filter. These system supplies the bearings with clean oil at the required temperature, pressure and quantity. Main source of contamination comes from wear of the components within the system and aging of the oil.

This debris must be extracted from the system. With its range down to 10 µm and below, the filtration rating is crucial to the system operation and the long-term structural integrity and performance of the equipment.
