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...
Fuel storage tanks are the foundation of reliable operations across many different industries. When contaminants find their way into your fuel tank, it is only a matter of time before they threaten operations and regulatory compliance. Fuel tank cleaning helps ensure...
Over time, fuel stored in tanks begins to degrade due to environmental exposure and tank conditions. Contaminants such as water, microbial growth, and particulate contamination can compromise its quality, putting both equipment and operations at risk. When...
Jet fuel needs to meet strict standards before it’s used. One of the most critical is that it remains free of water. When fuel becomes contaminated, it can no longer be trusted to perform safely. The presence of water often leads to system damage, and in the worst...
In industrial piping systems, a secure, leak-free connection is critical. Whether the system is transporting fuel, oil, steam, or other fluids, the integrity of each flange connection directly impacts performance, safety, and efficiency. That’s why flange facing plays...
In critical facilities like hospitals and data centers, downtime is never an option. When the power goes out, your emergency generators must start immediately and run reliably. But even the most well-maintained generator will fail if the fuel feeding it is...
In hospitals and healthcare centers, backup power isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. When the grid goes down, emergency generators are the last line of defense keeping life-support machines, surgical suites, and critical care units running. But even the best generator is...
At data centers, emergency generators are crucial for ensuring uninterrupted operations. These generators provide backup power during outages, keeping critical processes & systems running at all times. But, emergency generators are only as useful as the fuel that...
Diesel fuel is critical to the operation of backup power systems, machinery, and transportation fleets. Over time, however, fuel stored in tanks can become contaminated with dirt, water, microbes, and other impurities that can cause engine failure and other costly...
