Oil Flushing Skids – Maltec MOFS Series

Dpstar Group has a range of specialized oil flushing skids designed to efficiently remove particulate contamination from lubrication and hydraulic oil systems. Dpstar’s oil flushing skids combine pump, filter, and heater into one compact unit. This allows for a small footprint and the ability to set up close to the system being worked on. Cleaning oil systems by using an external flushing skid such as Dpstar’s all-in-one units allows systems to achieve the required cleanliness specification in much shorter durations.

Flushing Equipment

• Pump
  The pump on the flushing skid is designed to deliver a higher flow rate than the permanent equipment pump of the system being cleaned. The higher velocity in the piping allows for shorter cleaning durations than if the system pump is used.
• Filters
  Dpstar’s oil flushing skids are equipped with high-efficiency filters to capture particulate as small as 1 micron. The differential pressure across the filters is monitored during the flush as an indication of the quantity of particulate being removed from the system. At a predetermined differential pressure, the filters are changed out.
• Heaters
  Heating the flushing oil will lower its viscosity and allow for a better cleaning effect during the flush. Dpstar’s oil flushing skids have temperature controllable fluid heaters to maintain the flushing oil at optimum temperature during the cleaning.

Applications

Foreign contaminants in hydraulic and lubrication oil can cause premature failure of the system. A high velocity oil flush utilizes turbulent flow to pick up and carry foreign material out of the lubrication system. A high velocity flush is required during pre-commissioning activities, major turnarounds and when a failure that distributes wear metals into the lubrication system occurs.

Dpstar’s Oil Flushing Skids remove microscopic particulate to achieve oil cleanliness. Plant reliability services performed with these skids include:

• High-Velocity Hot Oil Flushes (HVOF)
• Lube Oil Flushing
• MHC & EHC Turbine Oil Flushing
• Hydraulic Oil Flushing
