Episode 12, Saving Time, Money, and the Planet: The Evolution and Benefits of Reducing Oxidation By-Products and Varnish

In this episode, we discuss the evolution of the industry's approach to varnish and review strategies to reduce oxidation and varnish production and extend oil life, saving time and money and increasing sustainability.

Hy-Pro’s Scott Howard leads this discussion with two of the most experienced and influential thought leaders in the industry: Peter Dufresne, CEO of EPT Clean Oil, and Aaron Hoeg, General Manager for Hy-Pro Filtration.

Key Takeaways:

• The industry’s approach to varnish control has changed, and new technologies are making it easier to solve varnish issues and prevent formation.
• Varnish is a complex problem, but there are a number of strategies that can be used to prevent it from forming.
• By following these strategies, you can extend the life of your oil and save time, money, and resources.

Why You Should Listen:

• This episode contains valuable information on how to prevent varnish formation in industrial oils.
• The guests are two of the most knowledgeable experts in the industry.

Hy-Pro's Compact Offline Filter

Our newest and smallest unit yet, the Compact Offline Filter is able to fit where no other filtration equipment can. Ideal for smaller systems or where a larger offline system wouldn't fit, this solution can be permanently installed or made portable for ease of use. 

Extending Fluid Life Saves Money and Helps the Environment

Our mission is to make our customers as efficient as possible, and we achieve that with the highest quality filtration products and total system cleanliness strategies to maximize uptime, productivity and prevent costly fluid contamination related failures. Been there. Done that. Going to do it again tomorrow. But that's not the only way we make our customers efficient. Extending the useful life of in-service fluids pays big dividends in reliability, saves money on premature fluid replacement costs, and reduces the environmental impact of industry by reducing the amount of fluids used and discarded. Enhancing reliability, saving money, and protecting the environment are not only good business, they're our responsibility. To help reduce oil usage, let's first understand why fluids are condemned and prematurely replaced. 

ISO Cleanliness Codes Explained

The ISO Cleanliness Code (per ISO4406-1999) is used to quantify particulate contamination levels per milliliter of fluid at 3 sizes - 4µ, 6µ, and 14µ. It is expressed in 3 numbers (example 19/17/14) where each number represents a contaminant level code for the correlating particle size. The code includes all particles of the specified size and larger.It is important to note that each time a code increases, the quantity range of particles is doubling. Inversely, as a code decreases by one the contaminant level is cut in half. 

In this Video we provide a brief description and demonstration of Hy-Pro's signature coalescing technology found in our FCLCOD and COT model lines.

In the world of filtration, we differentiate filters and measure their performance using various testing methods, otherwise known as multi-pass testing. In order to understand the testing process, we've created two videos that cover how filters are tested. In the video below, we'll cover four different methods of testing: ISO 16889, which is the industry standard test; ISO/CD 23369 Cyclic Flow Test, which is proposed to replace the current industry standard test; The Cyclic Stabilization Test; and Hy-Pro’s Dynamic Filter Efficiency Test.

In the world of filtration, we differentiate filters and measure their performance using various testing methods, otherwise known as multi-pass testing. In order to understand the testing process, we've created two videos that cover how filters are tested. In the first video below, we'll go over the terms and definitions you need to know to understand how multi-pass testing works and what's measured by it.
