What Types of Industries Use Circulating Oil Systems
In part one of the Determining Need and Cost Justification for an Oil Purification System series, Heinz Bloch lists several industries that can benefit from oil purification.
Determining Need and Cost Justification for an Oil Purification System
Determining Need and Cost Justification for an Oil Purification System is a six-part video blog series that shows how a major petrochemcial process plant saved over one half million dollars by implement an oil analysis and decontamination program utilizing an oil purification system such as the Allen Oil Conditioner. This introduction outlines the six segments in the series and gives background on Heinz P. Bloch, a licensed consulting engineer and presenter of the series.
Transformer Manufacturing Optimized
The Allen AOC Series Oil Conditioner is a vacuum distillation system that is used by several major manufacturers during the last phase of the building or repair of large power transformers, the testing phase.
In this part of the process, the Allen Oil Conditioner fulfills the multiple tasks that consist of moving large quantities of test oil from the test oil tank to the new transformer and, after completion of the test, return the oil to the test oil tank. This allows the same batch of oil to be used almost indefinitely because the Allen Oil Conditioner keeps purifying the oil throughout this process.
How We Apply Vacuum Distillation in Fluid Purification
Distillation is the process used for separating multi-component fluids into high purity products. A designer is required to have a thorough understanding of mass transfer, phase change, and pressure-drop fundamentals before he or she can successfully optimize the process design. Most engineers rely heavily on vendor recommendations, thereby absolving themselves of the fundamental function of the creative application of the basic principles of chemical engineering.
Regeneration of Fuller's Earth: Does It Make Sense?
Fuller's earth is a general term for industrially used smectite or polygorskite-sepiolite clays with a large surface area and strong absorptive, binding, gelling, thickening, and decolorizing ability.
Allen Oil Conditioner
AOC Series
Industrial oil deteriorates over time due to solid particles from the machinery, absorption of moisture from the atmosphere or from condensation, and from contamination of hydrocarbon gases. The Allen Oil Conditioner is designed to purify a variety of industrial oils and prolong its useful life almost indefinitely. The AOC will remove all solid particles down to 5-micron, water down 5ppm or less, and all hydrocarbon gases.

Lubrication and seal oil deteriorates over time due to absorption of moisture from the atmosphere, contamination of hydrocarbon gases, and acid generation as a result of hydrolysis. The Allen Oil ConditionerTM is designed to purify the compressor oil and prolong its useful life almost indefinitely.
Selection Parameters for Vacuum Oil Purifiers
The proper selection of a vacuum purifier for oil—whether it is for transformer oil, lubrication oil, hydraulic fluid, or thermal oil—involves the consideration of many factors. Yet strangely enough, most buyers of oil purifiers spend relatively little time on the selection process.
Transformer Oil, Part 2: Deterioration of Mineral Transformer Oil
Moisture contamination is one of the most obvious causes of deterioration in the insulating quality of transformer oil. This contamination can be eliminated by purification.
Transformer Oil, Part 1: Maintenance of Mineral Transformer Oil
The function of transformer oil is insulation and cooling of transformers. A transformer consists of metal, oil, and cardboard insulation. The oil is actually insulating oil and is used not only in transformers, but also in circuit breakers, capacitors, bushings, and tap changers. Insulating oil is a refined mineral oil obtained from fractional distillation of crude oil. It is free of moisture, inorganic acids, alkali, sulfur, asphalt, tar, and vegetable or animal oils.

Concepts in Fluid Filtration
Filtration is the separation of a fluid-solids mixture, involving passage of most of the liquid through a porous barrier that retains most of the solids contained in the mixture.
Vacuum Distillation for Industrial Oil Purification with the Best Available Technology
Can oil last indefinitely?
We do not really know how long oil can be purified and reused.
In the sixty-year history of manufacturing oil purification equipment, Allen Filters, Inc. has yet to experience a situation where, with routine and thorough purification with our equipment the oil could not be re-used for a very long time.
Sustainable Electric Power for the Emerging Markets
Lack of power impacts annual growth rates, slowing the development of new businesses and inhibiting new investment. The demand for power can lead to new investments in large-scale power projects in addition to creating markets for smaller generators of power.
Maintenance of Phosphate Esters-Based Fluids
Phosphate esters are polar fluids with excellent lubricating properties that can operate under extreme conditions such as electro-hydraulic compounds for steam and gas turbines, aircraft carriers, as well as steel mills and foundries. However, phosphate esters require strict control in order to extend their useful lifespan.
