Mobile Units for Comprehensive Oil Purification from Water, Gases, and Mechanical Impurities
Efficient oil purification is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of industrial equipment. With mobile units for oil purification, industries can achieve reliable removal of water, gases, and mechanical impurities from mineral and synthetic oils. These units support lubrication system filling and flushing while extending the life of industrial oils.
Key Features of Mobile Oil Purification Units
Versatile Application:
- Supports oil purification for continuous or periodic cleaning.
- Reduces strain on standard filtration systems by filling lubrication systems directly from containers.
Advanced Filtration Design:
- Equipped with a fiberglass filter element in a bypass configuration, ensuring durability and reliability.
Enhanced Maintenance:
- Ensures industrial cleanliness standards are met for mineral and synthetic oils.
- Extends oil life, reducing replacement costs and equipment downtime.
Methods of Oil Purification
Industrial oils are purified using several technologies:
- Filtration: Removes suspended mechanical particles.
- Centrifugation: Separates heavy impurities and free water.
- Evaporation: Heats the oil to remove moisture.
- Sorbent Treatment: Absorbs water but is costly and labor-intensive.
- Vacuuming: Eliminates moisture and gases under low-pressure conditions.

Why Choose Filtration and Vacuuming?
At HPULAB, we prioritize mechanical filtration and vacuuming for their efficiency and minimal impact on oil properties.
Drawbacks of Alternative Methods:
- Heating Oil: Reduces oil life significantly.
- Centrifugation: Limited to heavy impurities and free water.
- Sorbent Drying: Effective but impractical for large-scale operations due to cost and labor intensity.
By addressing water contamination—one of the most common issues—these technologies extend oil life, reduce replacement costs, and improve equipment performance.
How the Unit Works
Step 1: Pre-Filtration
Contaminated fluid enters through the intake pump, passing through a coarse suction filter for initial cleaning.
Step 2: Vacuum Purification
- In the vacuum chamber, the fluid is sprayed and flows to the bottom by gravity.
- Gases and water are extracted from the top by a vacuum pump, replaced by clean air entering through a fine air filter.
Step 3: Output Filtration
The purified oil collects at the bottom and exits the unit through a fine output filter, a check valve, and an isolating valve.
System Monitoring and Custom Options
- Monitoring: A programmable logic controller (PLC) ensures optimal system pressure. It automatically shuts down the unit if parameters exceed safe limits.
- Display Features: Provides real-time updates on system performance, fluid temperature, and moisture content (if equipped with an inline heater and moisture sensor).
Customizable Features:
- Inline Heater: Enhances purification for specific oil types.
- Moisture Sensor: Offers real-time monitoring of water content.
