Filter System Purifies Oil On-The-Go
 ✖  |
A bypass oil filtration system from Oil Purification Systems (OPS), filters out and also vaporizes contaminants. The company says Eco-Pur system will pay for itself in reduced oil changes alone. Add extended engine life and reduced downtime for maintenance and it all adds up to increased return on assets and a rapid payback on the product, says Greg Slawson, OPS.
“We’ve sold more than 25,000 systems for industrial use in transportation, oil and gas, sanitation, mining and agriculture,” says Slawson. “It’s designed to work best on larger diesel engines performing in tough environments.”
The unit mounts on the engine and diverts 5 percent of the oil through a pleated, microglass filter. The filter is 94 percent efficient at capturing three-micron particulates and effectively removes the 5 to 10-micron particles that cause most engine wear. It also removes water, fuel, acids and other liquids that can cause oxidation, corrosion, sludge and lubricity loss. Removing them keeps gaskets and other components from premature failure.
Once contaminants have been captured, they “flow” across the surface of the filter to a heated plate. The electronically charged plate vaporizes contaminants. Any vapors are vented out of the filter chamber, leaving clean oil to return to the reservoir.
The constant filtering of 5 percent of the flow maintains the oil at a high quality, eliminating the need for normally scheduled oil changes. Slawson recommends using the normal oil-drain schedule to replace Eco-Pur filters and to draw a sample of engine oil for testing. Since even clean oil won’t last forever, OPS advises using their own True-Test program for oil samples.
“It has a retail price of only $22.50, is performed by a third party laboratory, and provides a comprehensive diagnostic and preventative maintenance tool,” says Slawson. “Simply change the oil when the sample results indicate the oil has reached the end of its useful life.”
Eco-Pur Systems are sized by make and model of engine. Suggested retail price for the basic unit is $595.
“The Eco-Pur typically pays for itself in less than 12 months,” says Slawson.
OPS sells Eco-Pur systems directly, as well as through approved distributors and installers.
