Reply to "Hydraulic oil filtration"

Mr. Hitten,

All of the methods you mention in your post are all valid: a-c. Point d is a completely different topic all together, but certainly possible. Reclaiming fluids on site is a choice of economics and usually reserved for companies who use large quantities of a particular fluid. However answers like this one aren't that easy and topic like reclaiming oil require a thorough investigation.

Traditionally micro filtration is considered the industry standard and more importantly in the minds of the disposable filter element manufacturers THE best way to filter hydraulic oils.

Electrostatic cleaners and Centrifuges also have their place but I would suggest that you first find at all of the particular needs of your process, (not in any particular order), such as the cleanliness requirements of your components. Current schedule outages vs forced outages of these components. Component type and life expectancy, lost manufacturing or operating time.
