EPT - Model SVR JET - Oil Varnish Removal System for Aeroderivative Turbine Oil - Brochure

Coking is a failure mechanism that will affect most aeroderivative turbines in their operating life leading to premature mechanical overhauls and production losses. Coke begins as a dissolved oxidation by-product produced by high temperatures, water content and entrained oxygen before converting to a solid form and depositing on metal surfaces. Existing oil analysis and maintenance programs do not consider this contamination leading to high acid numbers, coking or varnish deposits, and shortened oil life.
