EPT - Model SVR JET -Oil Varnish Removal System for Aeroderivative Turbine Oil
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.
SVR® JET is a skid-mounted dialysis-style lubricant conditioning system engineered to remove varnish, coking pre-cursors and particulate. When combined with our TMR™ N2 water removal system, atmospheric water ingression is eliminated, dissolved oxygen is removed, and surface contact with oxygen in the lube oil tank is prevented, severely restricting oil breakdown. Backed by patented ion-exchange technology, ICB® JET, the acid number is reduced and managed, so jet lubes no longer have to be condemned based on the acid number.
The combined approach of dissolved contaminant filtration and removing oxygen and water offers a comprehensive step-change in jet lube maintenance, allowing aeroderivative turbine users to maintain oils in ideal operating conditions.
- Utilizes patented ICB® JET ion-exchange technology with over 30 million successful operating hours
- Removes dissolved oxidation by-products, or coking precursors, which are the feedstock from which all coking deposits are formed, breaking the lubricant deposit formation cycle, protecting bearings and other critical components
- Selectively removes acids and stabilizes the acid number providing optimal lubricant quality throughout the lubricant lifecycle while protecting mechanical components
- Protects hydraulic variable geometric control systems from sticking
- Resolves known issues when speed changes occur
- Protects against compressor surges and catastrophic engine failure
- TMR™ N2 generates high purity nitrogen from a standard compressed air source to blanket the oil reservoir removing water and eliminating contact with oxygen, protecting the lubricant and eliminating catalysts that contribute to oxidation
- Quickly removes and maintains low water levels without consumable elements
- Quickly reduces entrained oxygen and promotes dissolved gas removal
- Eliminates the primary ingression pathway for water and metal contamination, thereby promoting chemical stability of the lubricant and reducing maintenance requirements
- Reduces ISO particle counts, protecting and extending roller element bearings trouble-free operating window
- Manufactured to ISO 9001 standards
- Low maintenance: Turn it on and let it run; that’s it
- No downtime – SVR can be installed without an outage
SVR JET owners gain access to a complete support program, including complimentary oil analysis and expert interpretation from our professional and Ph.D. Chemists until results have been documented. After results have been confirmed, owners are given the option to continue the analysis program for a quarterly fee.
