Varnish Mitigation

Varnish Mitigation

Prevent unexpected downtime, sticking valves, and other mechanical issues in tanks and reservoirs by removing varnish through state-of-the-art ion-exchange adsorption systems.

Features
  • Side-stream filtration units filter with system online
  • Auto shutdown for high filter differential pressure and low flow
  • Fuse protected electrical system with easy to use, plug-and-play equipment design
  • Uses a granular adsorbent resin and fitted with a high-efficiency micro-glass filter element to remove hard particulate contamination
  • Outfitted with both pre and post filter sample ports for quick non-intrusive sampling
  • Achieve desired results typically within 3 to 4 weeks
  • NEMA 4 and NEMA 7 (HAZOP) rated skids available for rental or purchase with personnel available for testing, setup, and servicing of units
  • Engineers available to identify cause of varnish buildup and recommend strategic maintenance plan to enhance system reliability

Water greater than 500 ppm in the oil can cause issues with varnish removal. In these cases, the varnish removal procedure should be combined with a Vacuum Oil Purifier (VOP) to reduce the water content.
