Why pay hundreds of thousands of dollars every few years to replace contaminated PE fluids and flush the system? The primary degradation products of PE fluids are acids – remove the acids without adding other contaminants, and the fluid can potentially last for the life of the system.

That’s what the EPT ICB Cartridge does. This simple drop-in replacement for conventional Fuller’s Earth or Selexsorb® filters has been proven in more than 25 million operating hours over 20 years of successful operations. With EPT ICB filtration, your system not only runs better (no deposits, no damage from submicron abrasives), it also can save you and your company upwards of $200,000 every 5-7 years in flush-and-change expenses.

ICB Filters for PE Fluids

EPT ICB Filters for phosphate ester fluids effectively remove acids without contributing additional by-products that would result when using traditional acid-scavenging technologies, such as fullers earth or selexsorb.  Our ICB filters come in a variety of sizes to fit into existing acid-scavenging filter housings.  ICB is a critical technology keeping phosphate ester fluids trouble-free for decades.  

ICB Filters for Gas Turbines

EPT ICB Filters for gas turbines allows soluble contaminants to be safely extracted from the fluid without impacting the turbine fluid's critical additives.  Studies have shown that varnish problems in modern large frame gas turbines are largely attributed to soluble contaminants that precipitate out of solution in cooler, low flow areas of the system.  In combination, ICB and ECR technology provide a powerful solution to lubrication fluid varnish.
