Varnish Removal | Balanced Charge Agglomeration | Soluble Varnish Remover | Electrostatic Oil Conditioners Soluble Varnish Removal (SVR) The world's only safe and proven solution to soluble varnish problems
Most everyone in the gas turbine industry knows you need an electrostatic separator to remove varnish particulates from turbine oil. Now they're discovering that just removing particulates is not enough. Soluble varnish contaminants that pose no problem in a hot operating system can cause a multi-million dollar catastrophe when the oil cools down. And, as it is known, cooling happens routinely in the hydraulic systems of cycling and peaking turbines. If the turbine is in the midst of an outage, varnish problems can suddenly appear throughout the lube oil and hydraulic system.
GIS helps solve the varnish problem with a Soluble Varnish Remover (SVR) system, which is a self-contained skid-mounted unit. SVRs use patent-pending Ion Charged Bonding (ICB) for turbine oil to remove virtually all soluble pre-varnish and varnish forming products without impacting the oil's additive package. The system is installed easily on all reservoirs and even more easily installed when purchased with an electrostatic contamination removal (ECR) unit. Dramatic results will be observed two weeks or less! Soluble Varnish RemoverBy removing the polymerized molecules in solution SVR prevents the oil from becoming saturated and losing its ability to hold the high density varnish molecules, in solution. SVR stops varnish before it starts by removing the feedstock of varnish formation while still in solution, fighting varnish right on time, 2:00 on the varnish formation cycle clock.Competing technologies cannot remove varnish causing contaminant until the oil is saturated, or the oil temperature drops, and it precipitates out of solution. As the varnish precipitates only then can it be removed by an electrostatic oil cleaner (EOC) or depth filtration, but the oil will remain saturated with soluble varnish contamination. SVR is the only full time varnish removal technology that addresses the soluble contamination to stop varnish before it starts! Electrostatics and depth filtration are part time solutions to lube oil varnish that do not remove varnish until it is too late, 10:00 on the varnish formation cycle clock. What happens when the oil cools?When the oil cools (off-peak) the solubility goes down and varnish causing molecules will fall out of solution at a rapid rate to create varnish. Even if the electrostatic oil conditioner is cleaning the reservoir, varnish collects throughout the system on valves, filters, gears, bearing pads and many other critical metal surfaces. With the SVR on-line the soluble varnish causing polymers have already been removed and are not available to precipitate and form varnish.SVR is a recovery and permanent prevention solution!When fitted to a system with high varnish potential and or visible varnish deposits the Ion Charge Bonding element technology goes right to work on the source of the problem, the polymerized molecules. As soluble contamination is removed the solvency of the oil is restored. Once the oil regains its solvency it can remove the varnish deposits that plague lubrication and hydraulic systems.The ICB elements used in the SVR system are sized to provide a gradual recovery where a CRITICAL varnish condition can be reduced to NORMAL in about 60 days. Once NORMAL is achieved the system will remove the soluble varnish contamination at a rate faster than it is generated. This approach ensures a constant NORMAL condition even if the antioxidant additive package is completely depleted. Whether the goal is preventing varnish formation, optimizing oil health and useful life or system recovery by removing varnish deposits and restoring oil health, SVR is a key component for your success. Before installing the SVR, proper baseline oil analysis is required to understand current oil condition and establish realistic expectations for recovery and permanent varnish prevention. Throughout the recovery period frequent oil sampling is recommended to track improvement and ICB element condition. Global Industrial Solutions provides a streamlined, consolidated oil analysis program. SVR removes varnish-causing soluble contamination while in solution!
