An alternative technology to vacuum dehydration is dehydration by air stripping (Figure 4), a process that removes water as well as gaseous contaminants in the oil.
Next the oil enters the vacuum chamber passing through specially designed dispersal elements which create a thin film of oil that is exposed to vacuum. The boiling point of water is below the 66°C temperature at vacuum, so water and dissolved gases are “boiled off” and the fluid is effectively dehydrated.. http://www.biokem.com.au/
The vacuum dehydration process lowers the partial pressure, which assists in removing the water from the oil. Just like boiling water on top of Mount Everest, lowering the pressure allows water (and other volatile materials) to boil at a much lower pressure.
Hot Oil Flushing (HOF) is designed to remove contaminants from the manufacturing process/transportation/site assembly, or a contamination event during operation, of a lube oil circuit, by flushing hot oil through the circuit at a minimum of 150% of its operational flow rate, achieving a minimum of Reynolds 4000 number, a unit of measure for turbulent flow.

The time it takes the water to separate will depend on the system’s temperature, as well as the additive formulation, age of the oil and the base oil type.
Our client experienced a significant water and debris contamination event in the Fixed Bearing circuit of the SAG Mill. The mill was immediately shut down to avoid bearing damage and the contaminated oil was removed and new then oil introduced.
Water ingression is either insidious as a result of atmospheric humidity levels or immediate as in water jet washing or sudden seal failure. Whatever the source, immediate attention is required to remove it.
Through PROPEL Oil Management the image above shows how the protecting properties of lubricant additives never need to reach levels that risk maximum machine protection.
Every lubricant application can benefit from RULER testing / RULER Oil Analysis. By proactively measuring the oil’s remaining antioxidants (oxidation fighters) oil degradation can be predicted before risking equipment reliability and increased wear.

Lubricant degradation has negative effects on system lubrication and for example, hydraulic system pressures; these problems can result in serious consequences for the equipment performance and reduce reliability leading to breakdowns.
Renewal does have its limits and if the lubricant additive level depletes below the critical limit and is left untreated, the lubricant becomes destroyed by a change in its molecular structure and must be replaced with new oil. This is why oil condition monitoring and trending the results is so important.

The principle of the centrifuge (Figure 2) is to separate the oil’s heavier elements by spinning the oil to create high G-forces - often in the tens of thousands of Gs.

Oil varnish potential testing is completed by Membrane Patch Colorimetry (MPC) and can be completed on-site or off-site by oil sample supply. Test results determine the oils potential to deposit varnish.
Water ingression is either insidious as a result of atmospheric humidity levels or immediate as in water jet washing or sudden seal failure. Whatever the source, immediate attention is required to remove it.
Typically, most filter media will absorb a small amount of moisture from the oil, resulting in swelling of the media. This is particularly true for cellulose-based media. In fact, examination of used filters will often indicate if the presence of water is a concern.
Oil is drawn into the VDOPS by a high output vacuum pump. The oil passes through another particulate removal element and then onwards to a series of low watt density heaters where it is heated to an optimum 66ºC temperature for the dehydration process.
