Power generating companies have become aware of the importance of maintaining clean oil in their fluid power systems. Large steam turbine-generators are continuing to age and require increased maintenance. Forced outages are becoming an ever increasing problem for operators. To address the issue, companies utilize expensive phosphate ester fluids on their (EHC) Electro-Hydraulic Control systems. This fluid performs well if kept extremely clean. However, with the introduction of water and particulate contamination, it will oxidize and can lead to the following problems:

 

            • Increased Main Bearing Turbine Wear

            • Malfunction of Turbine Value Actuators

            • Turbine Trip System Failure

            • Servo Value Replacement

 

Filmax Advanced Filtration Systems eliminates these problems at the source. Our equipment is installed side stream, continuously cleaning the fluid, removing water and particulate contamination in the system before the pump suction. We offer a full product line of dedicated filtration equipment to meet your specific needs.
