Anyone?
R+D is producing such a system - it´s called PPS-Alpha. It can extract the oil, microfilters it, dehydrates and degases it.
Our customers (bigger ones) normally use it the following way.
1. Sampling the oil (for example 100 gal)
1B. Oil analysis (Additives, TBN etc.)
If the oil is worth then:
2. Puirifcation with PPS-Alpha
Oil exchange intervalls can be extended by more then 50%, without any risk.
