Contaminated Oil Reservoirs? We Can Help You Prevent a Catastrophic Forced Shutdown at Your Alumninum Processing plant
After Bauxite ore is mined, it must be broken down into finer particles using crushers and grinders to prepare the ore for aluminum extraction and processing.
The processing environment is subjected to high temperatures, dust, and plenty of moisture, particularly when hydroelectric power is used. Having the right oil filtration processes in place is critical.
Here’s how we work with Aluminum processing plants to mitigate moisture and particulate contamination in lubricating oils and hydraulic fluids
Water ingression in turbine oil reservoirs
Due to the high electrical demands of aluminum processing, many modern plants are powered by hydroelectricity. The presences of water and humidity provide an ideal setting for moisture contamination of turbine oil.
NLOFT Vacuum Dehydrators
For severe water ingression problems, we recommend our NLOFT Water Particulate Removal System (WPRS). Our flagship dehydrator maximizes water extraction, achieving water content levels of 20 ppm or lower. Typical flow rates range from 1-100 GPM.
NLOFT’s powerful, industrial-strength vacuum dehydrators will prolong turbine life 2-3 times and minimize unscheduled downtime of your Aluminum processing plant.
Our vacuum dehydrators are Phosphate Ester compatible when ordered with stainless steel components.
Rent or buy vacuum dehydrators and have them rapidly delivered.
We manufacture, rent, and sell vacuum dehydrators, filter carts, and filter skids. In-stock units can be delivered throughout the continental U.S. in 24hrs for most locations. On-site support and commissioning are also available.

Particulate and moisture ingression in crusher and grinder gearbox oil
The gearboxes turn the crushers and grinders used to break down Bauxite in the preliminary stages of aluminum processing.
The heavy loads and vibration subjected to gearboxes cause pitting and spalling of gears when the oil is contaminated.
NLOFT Vacuum Dehydrators

Particulate ingression in hydraulic oil in aluminum processing
In aluminum processing, hydraulics plays the critical role of moving heavy equipment used to move hot ore through different stages in processing.
Clean hydraulic oil in reservoirs keeps hydraulic pumps and valves in working order. Hydraulic component failure occurs prematurely when oil quality is not maintained with reliable filtration systems.
Portable Mobile Filter Carts
We recommend a mobile filtration skid that removes particulate and low moisture when particulate ingression is the primary issue. Typical filter skids are custom-made with various flow rates. We will design to your specifications.
