THE IMPORTANCE OF OIL CONDITIONING“Over 70% of equipment failures can be attributed to contamination*.” Oil conditioning is vital for achieving cleanliness goals. The ULTIDRI® System improves the oil condition, minimizing equipment wear, maintenance expenses, and costly downtime.

Lubrication systems rely on a layer of oil to separate moving surfaces. Water contamination reduces lubricity and causes the formation of solids within this layer due to the formation of rust, corrosion, varnish deposits, or the breakdown of oils due to oxidation, additive depletion, and changes in viscosity. These particles act as an abrasive and, as a result, there is a high probability for the life of the bearings and components to be shortened.

High levels of moisture in oil can also lead to oxidation and hydrolysis. This degradation can cause changes in oil viscosity, varnish and sediment, additive depletion, and rust. The ULTIDRI® technology makes extremely low moisture levels attainable – well below the oil saturation limit in most cases. And, because the system runs continuously, oil is constantly maintained at low moisture levels.

EASY TO INSTALL, OPERATE, AND MAINTAINConveniently sized and easy to maintain, the ULTIDRI® System is well suited for applications where conventional vacuum purifiers may be too labor intensive or where the use of highly skilled operators is not desired. These self-contained units are easy to install, simple to operate, and require only minimal, periodic operator intervention.

MODULAR, SCALABLE, AND PORTABLE OPTIONSProviding robust protection in a compact, self-contained package, the Portable ULTIDRI® Models are popular in the field. This is attributed to their small footprint and versatility. A unit may be dedicated to a single reservoir for continuous conditioning or utilized across multiple reservoirs - for the ultimate in usage flexibility.

When volume, design, and flexibility are essential, this technology brings a whole new concept to the industry - called scalable modularity. This means that while ULTIDRI® System technology can be used for large and expensive equipment, it can also be scaled down in size for virtually any flow rate at a cost-effective price. Scalable modularity makes ULTIDRI® System a practical and effective solution for virtually any application or reservoir size.

The ULTIDRI® Oil Conditioning System combines filtration and membrane technologies to thoroughly remove solid contaminants, as well as, free, emulsified, and dissolved water from a wide variety of industrial and portable lubrication and hydraulic systems.

HOW IT WORKS

The ULTIDRI® System utilizes the mass transfer capacity of completely dry air (<1% humidity) to effectively remove free, emulsified, and dissolved water – in most cases below the moisture saturation limit.

KEY BENEFITS

• Helps to minimize equipment wear and improve system reliability

• Helps to prolong the time between oil changes• Easy to install, simple to operate• Removes free, emulsified, and dissolved water, as well

as particulates, from petroleum-based and synthetic oils (down to 50 ppm or less)

• Water exhausts in vapor form; no liquid waste steam to dispose of

• Operates at normal oil temperature; no heat or post process cooling required

DURIONTM MEMBRANE

DURIONTM Membrane Technology is the future of moisture transfer. Strong and effective, this technologically advanced materialis ideal for lubrication and hydraulic fluid treatment. The durability of the DURIONTM membrane is attributed to its high chemical resistance and mechanical strength.

3Oil flows through the ULTIDRI® System where the patented hollow fiber contactor distributes the oil into relatively thin films to encourage dehydration

Water diffuses from the oil through the DURIONTM membrane into the dry air and is exhausted into the atmosphere in vapor form

Clean dry oil exits the ULTIDRI® contactor
