When a plant schedules a system flushing project, the expectation is simple: clean the system so it runs the way it's supposed to. The issue is that most contamination doesn't float freely in the oil. It collects on the pipe walls, heat exchangers, pumps, manifolds,...
High velocity oil flushing is one of the most effective methods for removing contamination from hydraulic, lubrication, and fuel systems. This service is often employed during commissioning, after equipment repairs, or anytime a system is experiencing contamination....
Bulk fuel contamination is a reality for any operation that stores or transfers high volumes of diesel, jet fuel, or gasoline. Tanks corrode. Water finds its way in. Additives breakdown. Microbes thrive in dark corners of storage tanks. Even when systems may appear...
The Role of AI in Data Center Filtration AI is changing what data centers are, and in the process, it's changing what filtration needs to be. Most of the industry chatter around AI focuses on chips & software developments. But those of us in the filtration...
Oil Flushing Services Needed After Catastrophic Downtime For the past 3 years, we have been working with a major steel manufacturer in supplying dedicated offline filtration equipment and MRO filter elements for their mill stand lube oil system. They had been needing...
No Challenge Too Tough When an industrial customer needed a solution for a fabricated inline filter element that was no longer manufactured, they turned to PFP for answers. The customer's original unit couldn't be cleaned effectively, so they shipped it to us for...
A Dairy Products Manufacturer reached out for assistance with a Carbon Exchange Tower Project. Activated Carbon is utilized to treat water in many industrial applications. In this case, carbon media is treating boiler feed water to remove any potential harmful...
If there’s one thing every pilot, maintenance engineer, and fuel handler agrees on, it’s that clean, dry fuel is non-negotiable. Turbine engines and high-compression piston engines are unforgiving machines. A few drops of water, a few particles of dirt, or a trace of...
TL;DR: Absolute filters remove ≥98.7% of particles at the rated size; nominal filters remove ~50–95%. Use absolute for precision, nominal for bulk removal or prefiltration. Micron ratings are a critical part of specifying filtration equipment, but the terms nominal...
ISO cleanliness codes are the global standard for quantifying solid particle contamination in industrial fluids like oil, fuel, and hydraulics. This guide breaks down how ISO codes work, why they matter, how to interpret them, and how to achieve your target codes with...
