Contaminated Oil Reservoirs? We Can Help You Prevent a Catastrophic Forced Shutdown
Here’s How We Work With Power Pants to Mitigate Water Ingression and Particulate Contamination
Turbine lube oil reservoirs have water ingression and particulate contamination
Clean lubrication oil is critical for power plant turbines. However, in an atmosphere where steam powers the turbine, and water may be used for cooling, water ingression is a common problem in reservoir oil.
Moisture and particulate contamination are your lubrication oil’s enemy and your turbine’s worst nightmare. Too much contamination brings turbine bearings and gearboxes to a screeching halt. The consequences are catastrophic.
NLOFT Vacuum Dehydrators
NLOFT’s powerful, industrial-grade vacuum dehydrators will prolong turbine life 2-3 times and minimize unscheduled downtime.
The NLOFT Water Particulate Removal System (WPRS) is our flagship dehydrator, designed to maximize water extraction and achieve an overall water content down to 20 ppm or lower. Typical flow rates range from 1-100 GPM. In-stock, standard units can be delivered in a day in the U.S. Custom dehydrators are our specialty.
Our vacuum dehydrators are Phosphate Ester compatible when ordered with stainless steel components.
Rent or buy a vacuum dehydrator and have it 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.

Moisture and particulate contamination in cooling tower gearboxes
Gears and bearings in cooling tower gearboxes are under tremendous load. Moisture and particulate contamination of gear oil shorten the useful life of this critical machinery, causing premature failures and forced outages. In the power generation sector, when a city loses electricity, someone will eventually be held responsible.
NLOFT Mini Vacuum Dehydrator
Our new mini dehydrator is designed for small reservoir applications up to 100 gallons and has a small footprint to accommodate plant elevators and space restrictive applications. The unit is lightweight at 700 Lbs.

Moisture and particulate contamination in coal pulverizer gearboxes.
The oil contamination cycle is insidious. Poorly filtered oil allows coal dust particulate to enter gearboxes; this rapidly deteriorates bearing and shaft seals, allowing more particulate to enter and accelerate bearing degradation. Left unchecked, this cycle inevitably results in machinery failure and a forced shutdown.
On older systems that utilize antiquated, washable mesh filtration, moisture ingression is equally prevalent. The result in both situations is premature equipment failure and costly downtime for the plant.
NLOFT Vacuum Dehydrators
For severe water ingression, 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. We also offer a mini dehydrator that can be used for cooling tower gearboxes and smaller reservoirs.

NLOFT Oil Handling & Delivery Systems
We recommend a filter skid that removes particulate and low moisture levels when particulate ingression is the primary concern. Typical filter skids are custom built with various flow rates. We will design to your specifications.
Of course, Lube Room design and upgrades are the first lines of defense against contamination. Our engineers can evaluate your filtration processes and recommend appropriate solutions. Stored oil will be clean and dry, extending the life of your critical equipment.
