Power Generation

EHC system reliability and turbine oil varnish problems are rampant in power generation plants and despite the thousands of dollars spent, many still suffer from ongoing yet solvable issues.  For example, in some large-frame gas turbines, varnish problems affect nearly every machine in the fleet.  For such critical applications, it is vital that state-of-the-art condition monitoring technologies are employed for achieving reliability and lubrication excellence.

EPT, the world leader in EHC system fluid quality, turbine oil varnish mitigation, and oil-condition monitoring solves these critical reliability problems. Our solutions eliminate lubricant-related servo-valve failures that cause trips in gas turbines and steam turbine EHC systems.  In many cases, the EPT products eliminate the need for flushing and fluid replacement in EHC and turbine oil applications, improving operational and maintenance costs every day.

Pulp & Paper

Servo-valve failures cause unnecessary downtime and expense for Paper Mills around the world. Along with bearing failures, blocked filters, and discolored site-glasses; pulp and paper equipment must be monitored and treated for varnish-related issues.

EPT has the services and products to deliver varnish mitigation programs to Pulp and Paper Mills that dramatically reduce oil-related issues and costly downtime.  Examples of this include elimination of hydraulically controlled roll problems and coated sight glasses.

Manufacturing

Anywhere industrial lubrication and hydraulics are used, EPT products for varnish and additive monitoring can eliminate oil-related downtime and failure.  Robotic controls are used in today's most sophisticated assembly lines.  Contaminants in these lubricants can cause the line to come to a grinding hault.  EPT products provide high value to these systems requiring precise controls, as it maintains the fluid in an extremely clean, varnish-free condition.  Stamping is another process used in manufacturing that is susceptible to yield and quality problems from oil contamination.  EPT products allow the yield and quality of the product to improve to like-new machine levels.

Plastic Injection Molding

Varnish and additive condition are critical issues for plastic injection molding applications.  Not only do varnish and additive problems cause downtime and expensive oil changes, but they also affect the quality of manufactured parts.

EPT's ECR technology and SVR systems for varnish mitigation dramatically increases fluid lifetime, reduces maintenance costs and increases product yield and quality.

Petro-Chemical

Varnish problems, additive issues, and elevated moisture levels leading to failure in critical rotating equipment are a key concern for every refinery and chemical operation around the world.

EPT products increase maintenance intervals on critical turbines, compressors, pumps, and other oil lubricated rotating equipment.  Solutions for varnish, additive life, moisture and other key issues can save refineries millions in downtime and maintenance.

Primary Metals and Downstream Metal Processing

Hydraulic and lubrication system problems can cause millions of dollars in downtime and lost production for aluminum or steel mills. Further, as automatic gauge controls, roll bending, and other sophisticated systems become more common, servo-valve performance and reliability becomes more critical.

EPT products can significantly improve reliability of critical hydraulic systems in melt shops, continuous casters, and rolling mills, as well as processing operations downstream.
